- iamnothere 9y agoI think it's disingenuous to claim that actual victims of harassment haven't suffered as much as the Duke lacrosse players. As another commenter has pointed out, I'm sure there are cases where the situation has escalated to actual murder to silence the victim. Just as lynching has probably resulted from unfounded accusations in the past. People are awful! Why do people have to take political sides rather than supporting actual truth and justice, regardless of who "wins" a particular case? It's infuriating.
- iamnothere 9y agoHow is this relevant? Are you implying that we should be ignoring obvious injustices like Duke case, for the "greater good?" Not sure what point you are making since all you did was ask a leading question.
