Glenn Beck compares dead kids in the Norway shooting to Hitler Youth. Holy crap I have never wanted to hurt someone as badly as I did for the first few minutes after I read this article.

So a woman faces more prison time for jaywalking than the partially blind, drunk and stoned man with priors got for hitting her and her family, killing her 4-year-old son.

It sounds incredibly cliched and knee-jerk, but I would bet a lot of goddamned money that if she was white and he was black, the results would not be what you see here.

Yes, I am totally making an assumption about the guy's race based entirely on his name.

Hah, I made the mistake of sharing that article elsewhere and WHO BOY did it ever generate a huge volume of THAT WOMAN SHOULDA GOT THE CHAIR type comments.

Race didn't even come into it. It was just the classic The Driver Is Always Right plus "This woman is astoundingly negligent for jaywalking and murdered her children and deserves to burn!"

Sentencing came down.

She got probation and 40 hours of community service

I am happy to see that a senior judge is still smarter than the average entitled white kid on the internet.

Racist Alabama Wal-Mart security guard gets woman fired, not-yet-naturalized husband deported, for shoplifting $3 worth of chicken necks that they showed him a receipt for.

Best of all, that article is talking about an incident from 2007. Apparently the newsworthy thing about the incident is that, even though it's taken 4 years, the suit has finally come up.

I wonder if it'll get dismissed.

So here's a wonderful story: A special needs middle school girl is repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted by a classmate. Her school district interrogated this girl several times, eventually getting her to recant her claims.

That's about as far as I got before I couldn't stomach any more, but apparently it gets worse from there.

Jesus fucking christ. They expelled her for PDA? AFTER all that other bullshit?
The entire state of Missouri is now dead to me.

See, I couldn't keep reading after the end of the first SENTENCE.

calling the lawsuit "frivolous" and saying the girl "neglected to use reasonable means to protect herself."

Huh. That's the first time I've ever heard anybody actually outright say it's the victim's fault.

It's Your Own Fault

There's basically no information whatsoever in that article. A lot of "allegedly", a lot of thirdhand speculation, a lot of essentially nothing at all. You can't draw any kind of conclusion from the information presented.

Thad · « **Reply #2837 on:** August 19, 2011, 10:24:28 PM »

There's no "allegedly" around that it's-her-own-fault quote, though.

Suggesting that, at the very best, whoever's writing statements on the school's behalf is completely unqualified for dealing with allegations of sexual assault.
