Novel rape defense: third party consent.

[Dancing David]

You're right David I'm pro rape!!! Yee haw!!!

Where was indignation when somebody suggested we take a basbaseball bat to the players??? to people who havent even been charged with anything.

Oh I forget, once someone says rape, its a fact. No one ever lies about that.\


Well Im off to drown some kittens.

Well , when they hit them with the bat and then get off because someone told them that they were going to get to hit someone I will respond And no, I did not say that the rape was a fact but you making a further bogus claim that she consented to it and then regreted it just perpetuates stereotypes about rape. Every time a woman gets raped, the first response is to call her a liar.

Do you say that about all crimes? I bet you say it only about rape, when you read about a mugging , do you sit there and say, well they gave thier money away and then regreted it?

Sorry, you don't have to support rape, do you question other victims or only rape victims.

Rape is not a crime of sex, it is a crime of violence. rape is not sex it is violence.

(So are you going to bob for kittens? I would rather drown puppeis, they don't have claws.)

Read the article again. She was so drunk she passed out, and awoke to find the rape taking place.

My bad! I was wrong.

However, without taking the perp's side in this, I wonder why the woman's lawyers aren't going for broke. It's an obvious case of gang-rape, yet they are declining to push the case. Why? {scratches head}

There could be several factors.
1.) Many people don't want to deal with the discomfort or inconvenience ("inconvenience") of someone's pain. Also, the article said a coach was trying to sign up one of the players, despite "evidence the woman was assaulted." Against a very popular, much-sought after sports player, it's a blow to hope and self esteem when a victim sees someone who did something so very wrong receive an offered reward when it seems they (the victim) have been trying to do everything right. It's seems like a double punishment; he did the deed and now he's going to still get something nice.
2.) actual physical evidence could have been tampered with
3.) social pressure not to cause waves
4.) victim's personal embarressment

Really, it's hard to tell, though.
