I know ya'll pride yourselves on vigorous debate and all that, but this is a conversation best had across a table.

Turning the horrific thing that happen to this local young lady into a question of semantics is ultimately more hurtful to her (considering she is very probably reading this) than it is beneficial to ya'lls truth seeking.

I would suggest deleting this.

It's bullshit victim-shaming like this that prevents so many women from reporting sexual assault. A dude literally rapes an unconscious woman, and the talk of the town is her lack of responsibility. Disgraceful.

Seems like a lot of bad stuff has been occurring around the King/College Street area in the last few years. I can only hope this doesn't stigmatize the area and ultimately hurt the local King St. businesses. 
Same thing happened to a friend of mine a few years back. She met some guy in a bar, he got in the car and assaulted her. She was too ashamed to tell anyone until recently, unfortunately doesn't remember (or never knew) who the guy was.

It seems that when a woman is raped, the first thing people do is examine her behaviour on the night in question. And that was one of the first things mentioned in the thread - the fact that she made a bad decision.

And then someone actually used the word "culpable".

That's why it seems like victim blaming.

^Seriously, jlmann, you've already derailed this thread to the point that your comments had to be split from the main thread. Just stop.

Is this dude for real?

I wish you guys best of luck defending the sacred feminist principal of being able to pass out unconscious in the street

LMFAO. I guess to you then that "sacred feminist principal" is bullsh*t and should anyone pass out in the street it's fair game to rape them. Ladies and Gentlemen steer clear of this one, they're a charmer.

Let's see, so I have now learned that female bodies are like properties, in fact they are just like houses. If you don't keep them locked up tight and secure at all times you are just begging to be violated. Does JSO also tell homeowners not to leave their valuables in plain sight or their shades open if they have nice things inside? You know, since that would be stupid and would tempt someone to target your house. Because I can just keep right on following this fantastic analogy you have going.
