“For the past several years, Georgia Tech been aggressive in punishing students accused of assault and harassment.”

The lawyer watching the video...that part was the worst. Another awful violation that she has to deal with. Shows how seriously he took the case.

This made me want to punch this guy in the face. I am the mother of a son I sure hope grows up to be a fine young man, but if he does something to hurt another person, he’ll need to face the consequences just like anyone else who commits a crime.

It’s not as clear but it’s saying that the assailant and hotel are both responsible and have to pay. The assailant isn't getting any money.

Good. Fucking hotel/Marriot -and those asshole lawyers who were watching her video at dinner last week (fuck!) should all be fired. And those ESPN fucks who made her interview. And fucking Michelle Beadle should apologize for being a fucking asswhole toward Erin throughout this nightmare.

Flying spaghetti monster forbid we have any kind of authority figure who takes a strict approach to fighting racial and sexual incidents. I’m all for due process but I’d rather too tough a stance than the normal one.

Yes, because in cases of sexual assault, what’s REALLY important is the schools reputation and the “college experience” of being in a fraternity.

Slightly off topic, but as someone who spent most of their youth exploring abandoned hospitals I get so pissed when state employees claim they dont leave any records behind. They leave EVERYTHING behind-patient records, incident reports, negatives, personal affects of patients. I have spent many a summer afternoon…

This is pretty much what I did before I met my wife. I just stopped approaching women in public because I’m rather tall, big, and I’ve been told more than once I have a kind of scary looking resting-bitch-face (which is hilarious because christ, I cry at movies, tv, books...).

Once I realized what I was fighting, I…

Because men respect another man’s property, but not womens’ independence, apparently.

At best my experience has led to some epic mansplaining or shaming (“This is why you’re single - you don’t give good guys like me a chance!”) and at worst I’ve been made to feel unsafe. I’m lucky that no one has ever gotten violent but it’s also pretty fucked up that I think I’m lucky that I haven’t been harmed for…

This is fascinating, and beautifully written. I can’t help but wonder about the attic where she was found supposedly being searched twice. Did they really look there, and Margaret hid from them? Or was the staff doing an unorganized, half-hearted sweep of the premises? The way humans can treat one another is always…

So I have absolutely no qualms about the fake ring I keep in my purse

I know that it’s the liberal thing to be all about restorative justice and all, but I tend to think that for assault and murder, you get out when the person you harmed gets their lives back. When her parents can think about her and remember the good things and not the way she died, you might be considered for parole.…

Well, thank god for that. We wouldn’t want the poor dear’s life to be ruined for a little thing like murdering a 16-year-old for having the temerity to think she had the right to determine who she wanted to date.

Saw that and it didn’t sit well. I mean, I understand where they’re coming from by trying to protect young offenders, but this guy deliberately and brutally murdered a girl over some trivial shit. I just don’t like the idea of him being released to do something similar in his 30s or 40s because I can’t imagine a…

These are the same people that outlawed the phrase “climate change” in Florida and INSIST humans existed with and *domesticated dinosuars*, so in their unhinged, factless way - this pretty much follows the pattern.

Essentially 0.

Yup - there’s a long list of people who used personal servers - plus some of the email’s info “changed classifications” after it were received -so it’s a big convoluted mess.

I’m Canadian, so I sometimes miss the nuance of what’s going on below. Republicans insist Hillary is about to go off to jail (as do some Sanders’ supporters, which is interesting). I’m guessing Clinton supporters say the opposite. For those dispassionate neutrals out there, tell me: how likely is it? From what I…
