LABEL OTHER END I refuse to reply directly to you. But,  you are not a woman. And just a sad person hiding behind a keyboard. Did typing that give you a thrill? Do you think you are changing peoples minds? 

Tootsie rolls rock! What are you saying? Have you had a fresh one recently? It’s Candy, my friend.

I’m so sorry that your childhood was so deprived you were lead to believe Tootsie Rolls are actually candy.

It’s a feature, not a bug.

Clearly I could not be a dispatcher because I would have gotten in my own car and gone to kill him myself. Someone hug those poor girls.

No, we can condone murder. We as a society condone murder all the time, based on circumstances. In this case, a child attempted numerous times to flee her attacker and was returned to his care. She notified responsible adults of her abuse and was not provided aid. She did all the supposedly reasonable things that we…

Hello, fellow murderino!

Dude I know....that little girl is SO BRAVE I just can’t take it. I have to say, when I was listening, from the way he was describing it, I thought the dad was going to kill the mom and/or the girls, so when it actually ended with him getting run over I fucking cheered.

I am frankly pretty surprised that people are so shocked that she could be charged as an adult. Children as young as 8 have been charged as adults in the U.S. The girls who committed the “slender man” murders at 11? Charged as adults. The 11 year old who shot his neighbor when she wouldn’t come look at his puppy?…

Stand your ground only applies to white people, and by people, I mean men.

It’s absolutely a Catch-22. Where are the Judge Persky’s of the world to hand out “moderate” sentences when abuse victims are on trial?

This piece was subtly and beautifully written, it moved me deeply.

Can we get rid of the pic in the comment? It's really unfair to that poor girl!

This seems to be the basis of so many of these articles. Are all men rapists, deep down? I don’t believe that.

Fucking LOL at “You are sullying my mediocre name.” Godspeed ya glorious, drunk(but still moral!) bastard

Good point. Rather than understand rapists like they understand thieves, as in - they will steal whenever given a chance, people really try to believe all rapes are “misunderstandings”. Ugh.

“Personal responsibility” only applies to welfare queens and other poors.

I cannot imagine any other criminal scenario in which this is okay. Oh, we have the bullets used in 100,000 murders and each one has a clear fingerprint on the casing, but we aren't running the prints and, funny story, we even misplaced a bunch of the bullets. Sorry for the inconvenience; thoughts and prayers.
