"B...Fantastic post! I think you are spot-on. <br /><br />"But then there's fury roaming the world, seeking whom it may devour, looking for fresh blood, forming lynch mobs."<br /><br />The only good thing is that people move along to the next fake outrage fairly quickly. Maybe these poor girls will be able to salvage something of their band once everyone's forgotten about it? <br /><br />Did you see the outrage over the gorilla thing last week? That poor mom was getting death threats, apparently. There are far too many people out there with no common sense, no filter and far too much access to platforms on which to air their outrage, imho. booklovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524471174570445036.post-54735700383223119332016-06-08T15:41:53.478+01:002016-06-08T15:41:53.478+01:00I think that all court documents are technically v...I think that all court documents are technically viewable by the public, they just have to be requested from the court office. <br /><br />I too think that rapists -- not their victims, families, or friends -- are the ones who should be punished by society. Obviously the victims, families and friends suffer emotionally because of the criminal's actions, but society doesn't need to join in. The more of a mob atmosphere we generate, the more pressure will be put on people to not accuse their attackers. Their own characters are already put through the wringer -- what if the rapist is their best friend's relative or friend? Should she or he lose a job or scholarship due to the taintedness of a criminal family member? What if the rapist is the survivor's own friend or family member, and the survivor doesn't want the non-criminal friends and family to lose jobs, etc? Making an atmosphere where everyone but the actual criminal suffers means an increased pressure for survivors to remain silent.sciencegirlnoreply@blogger.com
