no, it's a terrible time to bring up what is, charitably, a non-sequitur. "oh, it's ok, it just women, so let's not care if they get protection and justice under the law. and it's not even guaranteed, harhar!"
the same with the discussion about the amount demanded elsewhere. "it's just women, why so much?!"
there's yet to be any discussion about the merits of the case, just sideglance comments like these. try to be a little more empathetic and thoughtful.
- mikebenfield 4y agoYou seem to be pretty confused about the comments you’re reading.
- giantg2 4y agoThe point is that this can happen to others. That people should know that they are the only ones truly responsible for their safety, and that these systems people put their trust in can fail. For example, many states allow an individual to press charges without going to the police. If the police or FBI decline to charge, the person can file it themself. They can also file board complaints to have his license revoked. Most states also have exceptions to secret recording when serious crimes are committed so you have evidence. That's not to say this is always necessary or that it will always work. But it's important for people to know their rights and options.
- clairity 4y agothe point is that this is a deflection, whether consciously intended or not. you didn't have anything more relevant to say so you succumbed to subconscious biases to post this random factoid.
- giantg2 4y agoHow is it a deflection? This same topic has been seen when it was victims of other demographics. Most recently there has been scrutiny of the actions where a homeless man jumped into water and drowned while talking to police, and the delay in entry for the Uvalde school shooting. This "factoid" is not random. This is a pattern that we continue to see, that affects many demographics. We need to eliminate these misconceptions so that people know their rights and options. Maybe that will help curb the future damage, or at least allow people to make decisions based on reality.
- clairity 4y agono, you're posting all over this thread about random other factoids rather than focusing on how systemic sex abuse was fostered in not one, but multiple, public institutions, or about how and why the legal system should attack such affronts with the vigor they go after gang members with. why don't you talk about the mechanics of police looking the other way around sexual violence? anything that's actually relevant, rather than these sidelong glances.
- giantg2 4y agoWhy do I have to focus in one small piece - the only piece you are interested in? Is it not possible that other pieces are more interesting to other people? Perhaps I'm already well aware of police looking the other way on sexual misconduct, including legally raping those in their custody. To me its old news and throughly explored, and thus, uninteresting to me. (Unless we're talking new ways to change that) I brought up the "police looking the other way" in the grander context - that they can do this for things other than just sexual assault. This is relevant. Sorry that you think everyone needs to think nd feel exactly like you, and that other people's opinions and views aren't as important as your's.
- clairity 4y agoi'm challenging you to do better. how you respond to that challenge is up to you. it also reveals who you are, if you care to self-examine.
