Eh, the Tawana Brawley case was a lot different - she was a minor, she'd been missing for days, and was found in a pretty extreme state. She also didn't get as much unmitigated support as you might remember - one of Sharpton, et al's primary criticisms (before the grand jury decided no crime had been committed) was…

That wasn't part of the deal, Blackheart! THAT WASN'T PART…

Solid point.

Cartwright did some sort of fundraising calls for CoS in Bart Simpson's voice, which seems kinda underhanded to me. And probably a violation of her contract.

Apparently he also dropped out of high school! What a peach.

Oh, gross.

It was pretty widely known that he cheated on his wife constantly (I mean aside from all of the raping). I could never square that with the family-friendly image, but I guess some people could.

That's the one!

The dash stands in for the second preposition.

Shouldn't have that bar association logo there…

This makes his recurring part on HIMYM much funnier.

Yeah, there was some fascinating/horrifying (it can be both things, guys) research published a few years ago about college sex offenders: a small percentage of students committed the vast majority of rapes (around 90%) and indicated that they actively engaged in victim selection. They picked women they thought…

Did you guys accidentally publish this on your non-satire side?

That, and a better understanding of victims I think. One of the philosophy concepts I saw mentioned was essentially the idea that if a victim doesn't bring charges within a reasonable period of time, they must not have been that harmed by the crime. I think we are starting to understand that this just isn't true as…

Dear Idiot Savant,

I don't think it's out of the question that this dude doesn't actually believe it, but was trying to manipulate the letter writer into a relationship.
