I have so much respect for http://www.jrn.com/newschannel5/watch-live/plus and Nick Beres for the coverage and commentary.
An example needs to be made of this case. The public needs to be reminded that crimes against women happen on campuses nearly every week in this country. It isn't a joke and it isn't a mistake. Rape is a crime.
OK, off my soapbox now.
I am furious listening to the callers to NewsChannel5 who seem to think this is nothing more than a "mistake" among all involved. I wonder if the man who doesn't consider this a "real" rape would feel the same if this happened to his daughter. Thinking like this is why young men feel they have a right to violate women. I'm incensed by what I hear.
Something that I was just sitting here thinking of....
When the Jury comes back with the guilty verdict, These guys have to serve 100% of their time.
Sexual Assaults, Rape is a 100% crime in the State of Tennessee!
I went to a southern college where drinking was rampant. No one I knew -- drunk or not -- would have engaged in these acts. Scary to think that anyone would accept a "boys will be boys" defense. Makes me crazy....
Oh My did you happen to hear some of the callers...they were saying she had some accountability because she was drunk MY GOD!!
Back in Court.
