Yeah, that's the crux of it- the cop's word always seems to weigh more than the victim's word. Always. The "upstanding" citizen's word always weighs more that the word of the weird, homeless, alternative citizen.

I didn't know that testimony without physical evidence is enough for a conviction. I'm a layperson, no idea about prosecuting crimes and whatnot.

Yeah, except I can totally believe that she wouldn't want to commit a huge section of her life to an onerous, a lengthy, time-consuming, emotionally draining process in order to have a very slim hope of getting some sort of justice.

Try understanding a little bit harder, then.

You know what's actually dangerous for them? Being charged with a crime for something that was by all accounts a consensual activity.

Wow. I do not have a physical disability, and yet i STILL feel that getting dressed in the morning can be the hardest part of my day.

Yeah, wow, please ignore all these assholes being rude in the comments and tell us what happened!

Well, she literally erased all the paint on their faces and then painted new faces on. So, okay, maybe she changed the shapes of their eyes.

I was confused by how many adults around this couple found out and acted totally cool with it. Like, not horrified, cool.

I am assuming that, but she also got 5 years probation, meaning someone will keep an eye on her.

You keep forgetting that no one actually got raped. You can't give the same punishment for a crime that got committed as you would for a crime that was planned but didn't happen.

Feel free to be vindictive and bitchy. It's your life and your world.

Okay, so as bad as things got, let's keep in mind that a) nobody actually got hurt. And b) two people WOULD actually get hurt if the cray lady went to jail.

Oh my god, Lena Dunham. What is she even DOING. I mean, she has to have a mirror, somewhere in her house? She couldn't possibly think that this was a good look, I mean seriously?

Seriously, that was such a weird string of comments. WHO is this BurnerWhore that they should get so goddam serious over cranberry juice?

You sure deserved it.

Normalcy is an illusion.

Wait, so... What happened after that???

I don't know that she is white, actually. Doesn't say so in the article

My ladyparts are like that too. We're not alone!
