I did once write about it many years ago (before the first fGulf War). AFAIK, the story was not published formally. For me, it was therapeutic. I was crashing and burning, isolated and angry.


To OP-you do not owe an explanation to any of these hateful posters who represent the evil of what happened over the last two weeks and 30+ years ago. You are an honorable man. Much peace and blessings to you and those who love and honor you.

I'm not saying the the OP is making things up. But people should be aware of this.

They say an infinite number of monkeys typing an infinite number of years will also reproduce every work of Shakespeare, too, by random chance.

Maybe that's what this is.


Ok. I thought I was crazy. I had the same deja Vu when I read the post .

Those five guys have to live forever knowing they raped someone.

Except please explain partying the night before finals? Engineering college is tough, why weren’t you studying?

And finals are usually spread out over several days , they aren’t on one day.


Finals were one week later. Traditionally, at this school, the week before finals is a study/no class week. So the weekend before it is a blowout week.

I will also note that as engineering schools went, this school was not particularly rigorous. It probably has the lowest admission standards of any engineering school in the country.

Aspects of it are a bit peculiar. Men coming up to you on campus saying you must be gay because you took a drunk girl away from a frat party? Interesting.

If this story is true, then there's probably a lot more to it than you haven't told us. Despite that, it would be a terrible, terrible thing to have happened.

If you made this story up because you're bored on a Friday night and thought you'd have fun toying with highly strung emotions on DCUM following the Kavanaugh hearings, then shame, shame, shame on you.



Oh, STFU you sanctimonious cow.

You're one of the reasons why so many don't report.

OP, we believe you.


Interesting.

You believe the OP because you *want* to believe the story because it fits with what you want to believe in, and the narrative makes you feel righteous and just. That's why you get angry when someone else expresses doubt, because it's also a rejection of you. The emotional reaction is intriguing and says much.


Serious question: what drives you to come in here and crap all over this thread? You get pleasure from others’ misery?

Yike. Guys can be wickedly crappy.
Sorry that that happened to you and I hope that it just reminds you to be a compassionate person and doesn’t make you despondent.

What I have learned is if you are a rich white guy, you can do whatever you want. Rape, steal, commit fraud. You won’t get punished.
