It's not clear it was a joke of any kind. This is a murder attempt. Joke is sending 50 pizzas. Murder attempt is sending 50 cops.

So, can the victim hit him with a civil suit? Sounds like this deal only gets him out of criminal charges.

Yes, it seems some Jezebel writers are upset at Fraternity members who have the audacity to not have actually committed crimes that said writers had judged them guilty of without any substantive evidence.

I cycle to work in London nearly every day (all four seasons - it doesn't really get THAT cold in the UK) and, sadly, I've got to say I agree with pretty much every word you've said here. I ride on the road, and in cycle lanes where they're available. I stop at red lights and pedestrian crossings and I never ride on…

Yeah, I'm generally in favor of boycotting anything that glories abusive relationships. I think that's something even non-kinky people can get behind!

I wish we were... I have so many friends ask me why I haven't read it and this is my reaction...
