Yeah, they look like brother and sister.

Which is great and all, but shouldn’t the director, and the actor hired to do this international exposure, kind of at least acknowledge it?

Police aren’t the best at responding to rape reports. You don’t know what this girl’s experience with police has been in the past. It’s not like 100% of cops hear a woman report a rape and immediately spring into action, taking every word she says as the truth. She might have had a bad experience with police at…

You’re trying to apply practicality to a pretty traumatic situation. Yeah in a perfect world victims of all crimes would feel secure going straight to the police. But it’s a lot more difficult said than done. I get the instinct; I work in a crime lab and reading reports I sometimes think ‘why did you do that?’ or ‘why…

The thought process was probably not a decision between telling the principal or the police, but between telling and not telling at all. Going to the police is difficult and scary and there are myriad reasons why victims don’t do this right away. Telling an intermediary party is typical, not atypical, especially when…

The police hearing about it second hand could potentially weaken the case. It shouldn’t but probably does.

These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

Ugh- your last line. You were doing so well!

I was going to refrain from commenting on this because of getting slammed in these sections before. But I just have to say... good for her for being brave and refusing to let others question her integrity.

“fast girls”

“As things trickle down...” that guy should look up where we get that saying from.

I know right, he has records of his cons and it was told to them, it’s like they didn’t even fucking listen.

It’s Trump, the most famous “con-artist” in the world. And his biggest con still fooled millions. Sad.

I, for one, am shocked, shocked to find that Trump is a lying con man. Nobody could possibly have known.

Well, I can take joy in the pain of people who are regretting their votes because Donald is not building a wall/prosecuting Clinton. I really don’t have a lot of sympathy for those ones.

Newsflash; people who can’t tell they’ve been conned surprised when it turns out they’ve been conned.

Fucking around with mood-altering drugs (the legal kind) is a recipe for disaster that I’ve experienced myself... even when you do things by the book, it can lead to scary changes in personality. I don’t even want to think what happens when you quit cold turkey or suddenly ramp up your dosage on the more potent ones.

Yeah. But I didn’t read it as Joy Bryant (who is playing Eleanor Holmes Norton) encouraging another black woman to support a white women’s cause, but to support a cause that white women were a part of, and of course dominating in the racist social/cultural/political milieu of the late sixties/early seventies. She was…
