My experience was that I had a few moments of mental gymnastics in which my brain tried to come up with any and all possible explanations for what I was witnessing; everything from “I’m hallucinating” to “Is someone filming a movie?” After that was over and I was confronted with real reality, I called 9-1-1, reported…

I almost wonder if it’s because they stumbled across the video of it themselves. Had this girl reported it herself, would they have taken her seriously?

Based on all these fucked up news reports coming out of Panama City, I think I’d feel safer in a pitch-black parking lot beside a poorly secured prison than anywhere on that beach.

I just read about Kitty Genovese this morning. This woman was followed home by a serial rapist and assaulted, he fled and then came back again to assault and then stab her. The story at the time was sensationalized and it went as viral as a 50s newspaper story can. In the NYT it was written that 37 people witnessed…

The initial reports this weekend said one of the alleged rapists was heard on tape saying of the victim, “She won’t remember anything.” That’s beyond messed up.

But isn’t it the point of this article that this rape was not reported? The video came out and the police had to do something.

Even though I know about the bystander effect, I hate reading about it happening. Further proof that other people being around doesn’t matter. So much for warnings about dark parking lots.

Sadly, this is whats wrong with people

Between this and the “Eat, Sleep, Rape, Repeat” shirt of last night, I am going to have a rage stroke.

As a father of 3 daughters, I pray the day does not come to where another human being puts their hands or any other body part upon them without their consent and complete trust and love. It will not go well for them and there is no doubt in my body that I will enlist help and make it a torturous “Saw” like event.

I'm really depressed by how delighted I am that the police did their job.

I’m 31, attractive, and have a great tan year round since I live in southern California.

I wish I could identify every single bystander and make sure they were punished. Sickening. Utterly sickening.

Moms are usually the ones who are best at inflicting fear into their sons. My 32-year-old husband is still terrified of his mother.

As the mother of 4 sons, I would be all over this shit if he was my kid.

Hopefully it’s his mother.
