How the fuck can you get away with pleading “attempted” sexual assault when you literally impregnated your victim?

Look, his bunk was needed for a minority who was caught with half an ounce of weed and sentenced to a mandatory minimum of ten years on his third strike, ok?

What you are ignoring is that these girls SNUCK out of the house at NIGHT to meet some BOYS. So they got exactly what they wanted. In fact, they probably used their pre-teen feminine wiles to force him do it. They couldn’t have asked for it more if they had paid him.

</tongue planted firmly in cheek>

On the upside, he wasn’t sentenced to pay restitution to the girl’s father for the loss of her virginity.

So..... This judge Ross is done right? Disbarred, trashed and dismissed. His ruling overturned??

I feel you. I got effectively ostracized at the last place I worked at for reporting some men for sexual harassment. But there’s no way I’m not raising a stink about this kind of stuff. It’s unacceptable, all of it. Becoming a social pariah to some people is a small price to pay for doing the right thing, though.

It’s this whole “well it’s not my business” “oh I don’t want to get involved” mentality. People think “well I’m not responsible for my friends’ behavior”

There’s no easy way to do it, but then again there’s never an easy way to do the right thing, that’s why it’s the RIGHT THING. If doing the right thing were easy, it wouldn’t be a big deal when people do the right thing.

The people on the fucking porch...

Yeah, that part stuck out to me as well. It’s important because it reinforces the idea that sexual assaults don’t occur in a vacuum. Whether it’s the child being molested by a parent while the other parent keeps everything hush-hush, or a circle of acquaintances who know “that dude is sketchy” or even (as in this…

This is heartbreaking. I hate the narrative of “well why didn’t you just go to the police right when it happened?” that people always use to discredit accusers. There are SO MANY REASONS why someone doesn’t go ahead- fear, fucking PTSD and an inability to recount the events because of trauma, FEAR, isolation, no…

Anyone have a deodorant suggestion? Please help. Keep in mind due to my anxiety disorder I smell like a pizza pigeon that died inside an onion that was later sliced open by a mortician.

At the time of the 2008 election, a friend of mine was in India visiting his parents (he was born and raised in the US but his parents moved back to India once their kids were grown). And he was asking me how things looked, how they’d looked over the course of my volunteering for the Obama campaign, etc. He said…

I’m pretty sure Angela Merkel is considered the ‘leader of the free world’ these days. That’s what people are saying anyway. Just what I heard.

It reminds me of the disease of the alcoholic family. Deny reality at all costs. Never trust, never feel.

And the Trumpanzees are all “lol can’t you take a joke” about it. God, their hypocrisy is astounding. This is how they win though. Screech like stuck pigs when anything at all happens to them. But then gaslight the fuck out of everyone when they do something that is just as bad, but most times WORSE.

I’m a Brazilian. Few countries in the Western hemisphere are in a more politically troubled situation as us right now (Venezuela being the only one to come from the top of my mind)...

I call Putin the “Rabid Squirrel”... its not without merit. Dude’s about two pretzels shy of a Bar Stool.

I make jewelry and frequently exclaim “I love gold! I love how it schmells, how it tashtes!”
