The trouble with sexual assault is that the victim has to live with that trauma every day, and it impacts every facet of their life, including their ability to maintain relationships, a job, parenting etc etc

You’re not safe anymore. You never have the sense or feeling of safety that you did before.

You’re an idiot if you think she’s safer because she carries a gun. And now you’ve doxed her.

I stopped walking (I’m not a runner) alone on trails, even near Beach Drive in Rock Creek unless it’s a weekend and they’re pretty populated. Walking with a friend never fazed me on the Northwest Branch trail…until now.

I also don’t walk alone in my suburban neighborhood much after dark anymore. I feel more and more fettered by fear and I hate it.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

The entire DMV really needs to tighten up re: the failure to appear defendants, often they are out committing violent crimes!

Repeated failure to appear should mean incarceration.

This guy should have been in jail a long time ago. Thanks MC for your lax crime laws. It’s only going to get worse. He needs to be in jail for life but I will bet my life he will be walking free. I hate being afraid of these monsters.

Please cite the law that you have a problem with. Or maybe you just heard someone say that and now you’re repeating it.

His previous charges were all misdemeanors: rogue and vagabond; malicious destruction of property. Those are considered non-violent crimes, and misdemeanors.

Remember, BLM complained that it was racist to lock up people for minor crimes like this, because too many POCs were being charged and locked up for these crimes.

Since you are hell bent on protecting this ahole, what I meant to say, and you knew it, MC lack of laws allowed this repeat offender back on the streets to continue his crime spree. But you go on being weird about it.

I hate living in a world with males. Ugh

This is a very strange response and displaced. Males are not your issues. Criminals are your issues.

Who are males.

It was actually state change.

I would like to think I would fight my hardest to avoid being dragged off or to stop a man from dragging my friend off. I'm going to have a talk with my hiking buddy and find out if she's willing to risk her life to save mine. I'd like to believe I would risk mine to save her.

Sure, easy for you to say when you are sitting on your couch.

My niece was stalked by a rapist from Maryland who got off easy. He should be in jail for life. DC won't keep him behind bars either.

The maximum sentences are rarely given out, and they are rarely life (in MD, only 1st degree rape is eligible for life sentences).

Various groups, typically on the left, have come out against harsh sentences for felonies.
