And I cannot believe there are so many bookworms on this board -- I've chatted with every friend I know in the past week, and every one of them remembers at least one party where she was pretty sure something was going on in that back room. |
Yes. Our country is in real trouble if a man’s life can be destroyed based on mere allegations. A truly sad day. |
Akin to gang rapes with men lined up outside? |
McTurtle sure has backed himself into a corner with this one. What a huge effing mess. |
They can't go there. He is being accused of criminal offenses. If they really cared about his alleged crimes, they would be willing to file police reports. |
As you no doubt know, sensibilities were different then. I have no idea if she’s being truthful but it’s plausible that a person in 1982 could attribute such a thing to the girls being “slutty” or “careless” with what they drank but as a full grown up in 2018 see it a different way. |
Not really. Did you just come in? Read this thread from the beginning, and the previous long thread. Also read the New Yorker article. |
Kavanaugh has apparently destroyed more than one woman’s life. But that’s okay, right? |
The presumption of innocence is a basic human rights value. But not for the alt-left crazies. |
"Pretty sure?" Did they see a line of guys outside a door waiting to get into a bedroom with a minor who had been given some kind of drug? |
Question: If you were Brett Kavanaugh, and you were completely innocent of these allegations, wouldn't you want a full investigation to clear your name? |
She signed an sworn statement. The risks to her are HUGE here. She risked it all. And there are other witnesses who have agreed to come forward to corroborate her statement. I think the people criticizing her should remember that Kavanaugh's mother was the county prosecutor now. The other guys who were taking turns raping girls were most likely similarly well connected. Sexual assault back then, hell, even in 2006, was not taken seriously or prosecuted EVEN WHEN THERE WAS EVIDENCE, EVEN WHEN IT WAS REPORTED. The criticism of her for not reporting sooner is ridiculous. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/opinions/arlington-texas/?utm_term=.6f0fee4b6227 |

What world are people living in that they are surprised by these stories?! The Post just did a story last week about how a town treated a young woman who reported her rape, and vanity fair has a piece out now from girls who ran in these crowds saying “yup, that’s what it was like.” This happened. It still happens. Those of you who can’t/won’t believe it are putting your sons and daughter’s at risk. |
As a woman who has two sons, I'm enraged. I told them and my husband the only thing that separates them from Kavanaugh's fate is decent moral women. Any woman now can accuse her husband of rape and all it would take is her allegation and a few tears to destroy him. |
