ok back to the original idea behind this thread:
To the posters who said she was promiscuous: Just remember, it doesn't matter if she fucked the whole football team, the basketball team, the entire cleaning staff and every student: if she said NO to these 16 then it is RAPE and or Sexual assault. Even if she came up to one of them and flirted with him, pulled HIM into a classroom, got him naked, THEN said no, if he continued then IT IS RAPE! NO means NO.
Her coming forward with these charges "because she didn't like her rep at the school"....So, they are talking to other students, umm ok, yeah, they are the MOST reliable witnesses. High School kids will lie through their teeth, make up rumors and will believe everything they hear AND repeat it verbatim stating that they have first hand knowledge.
From the first I heard of this story I heard about the video system the school has. Today the police are saying they have evidence of some of the assaults on tape. Pretty conclusive don't you think?
As for the comments from posters who say they have been victimized by the police (wrongly) for x number of years....Sorry about that but as the saying goes: sometimes the good of the many, outweigh the good of the few.....I understand it would be a horrible thing to go through but keep in mind that the police, for the most part, are here to protect the general population, and if they have no need to pay attention to you, they won't. I constantly watch cops and other programs and the dumbest thing you can do is to struggle or resist a cop. If he says "get down", you get the fuck down. If he says "dance a jig" you dance the jig. Deal with the repercussions later but when an authority figure, with a gun, tells you to do something, you do it!
As for blacks being the most persecuted race on the planet. BULLSHIT. Get off your high horses and quit being a martyr. Millions of chinese, japanese, and asians were and have been persecuted as well. As for Ruwanda, sorry folks but that was blacks killing blacks.
As for the guy from up north who used to visit toronto and get hassled by the cops while wearing long hair, ripped jeans etc. Dude? did you ever think of cutting your hair, dressing a little nicer and NOT getting hassled by the cops? I bet not.....My motto? If you dress like a punk, act like a punk, then don't be surprized when you get treated like a punk.....
