I am so truly sorry for what happened to you. It absolutely breaks my heart when women such as yourself, the actual victims, are long forgotten in stories like this.

I’m trying to remember the difference between the Taliban and the Republican party...what is it again?

They never mention the once promising future of the victim who is now saddled with the trauma of rape.

Yep, Peter Jonsson is a fantastic human being and a hero who faced risk to help another person. I want to know about his motivations and his life, which is still promising, not “once-promising.”

Turner said he recalled the man asking, “Do you think this is OK?”

I don’t know, maybe highlighting that various media outlets are writing “poor unfortunate athlete got caught raping, punished, potential sport career ruined” rather than “bad rapist rapes, caught, punished for being bad raping rapist”. These stories seem to empathize with and show the rapist as sympathetic rather than…

Peter Jonnson does. Apparently enough to chase down and subdue a “promising” athlete. Somebody make him head of the Dept of Justice or something

Um if someone is convicted on multiple sex crime felonies, maybe he shouldn't be free on bail until sentencing. Just a thought.

I grew up with a Brock and never liked him or his brothers. They were all douchey assholes.

On a brighter note, anyone know how to set up a “free beers for life” fund for Peter Jonsson? He obviously read that Onion article from the nations 10-year-old boys and took it to heart.

This story is not helping my inherent bias against dudes named BROCK.

I don’t get why people are talking about it not being a clear cut case? There were flipping witnesses. Witnesses who chased him down when he ran away. This is about as clear as it gets in a rape case. I swear, people are awful.

All these reporters and other guys who “worry” about these convictions make me wonder what kinds of skeletons they have in their closets.

I’m originally from Minnesota and can honestly say that Scott Walker’s reign of terror has left Wisconsin unrecognizable. When Russ Feingold lost his race and Scott Walker won his, I knew it was over for my former neighboring progressive liberal Midwestern enclave. This story both breaks my heart and makes me rage.

6 months ago our dumpster fire of a governor signed a bill into law that eliminated the waiting period to purchase firearms. And now a guy with a history of mental illness goes out, buys a gun, and murders someone within 24 hours. Two of my students were working at Metro Market when it happened. They’re both…

“The fundamental difference between the sexes is one of them can kill the other with their bare hands.”

Not only is it believable, Republicans think this is normal. This is the way things were supposed to happen. His right to have a gun to kill her with is more important than her right to life.

I feel like I use these way too often here:

She did a stupid thing, or at least a probably very drunk thing, and that is “on her.” (Do you feel she was suitably punished?)
