That’s really what it seems like. I never got to press charges against those who hurt me because it wasn’t taken seriously. Had I been able to and the person acted as their own attorney, I likely would have dropped them or not testified because I wouldn’t have been able to deal with facing them like that in court.…

Because women don’t deserve justice, of course.

Oh, Ashanti. They told you not to engage, didn’t they, and now he’s saying that your failure to engage was just proof that you wanted all that harassment. Fuck that guy, fuck the assholes who gave you bad advice, and here’s hoping he’s found guilty on all charges.

My mom really wants me to have “at least one child” so that I have someone to take care of me when I’m old...and I was like, uhhhhhh, mom, that’s not how that works. Yeah, it’s gonna be fun when she gets older. But hey, my lack of having to financially support children of my own is going to work to her…

Yeah, it’s not like the “take a penny, leave a penny” tray at 7-11.

I’m going to call my dad tonight and thank him for never belly aching over my how sister and I weren’t good enough because we weren't boys. This guy is an asshole and his ex is no prize either. Those poor kids.

I came here to rant on these two things, so you just saved me a lot of typing.

That poor kid and his poor sisters, who were basically just told via major news outlets that they’re not good enough.

...and his son will grow up with the knowledge that he was genetically engineered to live the life his father wanted for him! Not to mention help absolve his mom’s guilt over a manslaughter charge! Healthy stuff all around!!!

I think this break my brain.

His daughters must feel so wanted and loved.

Holy shit, this is too much fuckedupedness for one story. Needs a male heir? Replacing the person she killed driving drunk? Aaaahhhh!

Only sons can carry on his family business? Is it operated by using one’s penis to type?

“When we interviewed the victim, we determined that the other party didn’t mean to assault him, but was simply intending to instigate a boxing match.”

I think he means that they shouldn’t have had sex, but did, so the “slutty” girl is trying to say it was rape instead of consensual sex so she’s not branded as a dirty, dirty whore.

I love the ‘let law enforcement do their job’ line. ITS THE JOB OF THE LEGISLATURE TO TELL LAW ENFORCEMENT WHAT TO DO. take a civics class already jesuschrist.

This is so infuriating. I feel so sorry for anyone in his jurisdiction that is a victim of rape. Here is the proof you need that you won’t be taken seriously.

I guess like unwanted pregnancies, they have a way of shutting the whole thing down.

I was trying to say that when a call is called into dispatch it is initially put in as a rape.

I have a feeling that if the rapist is black or brown and the victim is white he doesnt beleive those are false accusations.
