If you thought these unbelievable reactions to Steubenville would just peter out, I guess you can say you were pretty, pretty wrong.
And here’s part 3:
Well, that last tweet took an unexpected turn.
Shame on them all. No one deserves to be dehumanized and objectified. NO ONE. It doesn’t matter what the circumstances were. Do these morons realize SOBER women are raped everyday? How about the young children who get raped and aren’t under the influence. Yeah, go ahead and explain that one. It’s a person’s responsibility not to victimize others. You should not feel it is okay to take advantage of someone. If you do, then you’ve got issues.
TRIGGER FUCKING WARNING RAPE AND THE STATE OF THE UNION
DO YOU FUCKING REMEMBER HOW A GIRL IN OHIO WAS DRUGGED AND GANG-RAPED REPEATEDLY AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTIES IN ONE NIGHT?
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW OUTRAGED WE WERE?
THIS IS THE NEWS COVERAGE IT GOT.
ONLY TWO BOYS WERE TRIED FOR IT. ONLY THREE YEARS OF JAILTIME WERE HANDED BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.
AND THEY WERE PRESENTED AS THE VICTIMS IN THIS
THIS IS NOT THE WORLD I SIGNED ON FOR. THIS IS NOT THE LEGAL SYSTEM I LEARNED ABOUT IN SCHOOL, AND THIS IS NOT THE WAY THIS STORY ENDS.
GET MAD. GET FUCKING FURIOUS.
AND GET LOUD, BECAUSE WE ARE NOT GOING TO STAND FOR THIS
A guy I dated over the summer goes to the college in Steubenvillle. It’s a very Catholic community. Funny how things work out.
This is bullshit. We need to completely change the way our judicial system deals with rape and sexual assault cases. As well as change the way we as a society view rapist and rape.
1-3 years in juvie is a bullshit sentence for rapist. This sympathetic language is bullshit. No mention of the victim. I’m fuming.This pisses me off so fucking much. This video essentially encourages viewers to sympathize with the rapists. And there is something very wrong about that.
So. Angry. Can’t. Form. Sentences.
I think when I started getting REALLY angry (as in I wanted to throw my computer angry) was when the news anchor woman claimed these two “young men” were convicted of “rape, essentially.”
NO, LADY. NO.
They were not convicted of rape ESSENTIALLY. There is no approximation to rape. They are rapists. I do not pity them, I do not feel sorry for their “promising futures” that have been “Destroyed” while they wept.
Where was their remorse when they took a very drunk girl out of a party?
Where was their remorse when they violated her?
Where was their remorse when they TOOK PHOTOS OF THAT?!
You expect me to pity someone like that? That is not a mistake of youth; that is a disgusting violation of another person’s body and dignity. In my opinion they should be getting a lot worse. Don’t you DARE try to make me feel pity for them.
Some thoughts (under a cut, because this under-the-vid thread is long as it is):
let’s just take a second to notice that Trent said “I’m sorry the pictures got sent around” and not “I’m sorry I fucking raped you.”
I fucking hate everything about this case. can we just put them away for a long time?
***THANK YOU! I was so upset by this. Her life is in shambles because these 2 animals decided a drunk girl who was passed out agreed to have sex with them even though the BLACKED OUT. Apparently, being unconscious means you’re saying “LET’S HAVE SEX”. And to those who say, “it’s her fault for getting so wasted” I say to you, men get drunk ALL the time and they don’t get raped. SO NO, you’re argument is invalid in my book! #GOHOME #RAPEISRAPE #IFSHESDRUNKGETHERHOME

Randomness: the return!
After work, I decided to stop by the walgreens around my house so I had to get off a stop before my usual one. When I got onto the platform I saw a woman with a walking stick, hitting the wall. The flushing stop is outdoors and I was surprised she was out there on her own.
I asked her if she needed any help and she said yes. I looked at her and she smiled. I knew she wasn’t completely blind but enough to need assistance. I put my arm out and led her down a few staircases and down a street. She talked about bring born and raised in Queens but now living in Manhattan. She was on her way to the hospital because her choir group was going to sing for some of the sick folks.
She’s blind but she made the trek to Brooklyn alone just to spread some cheer with music. When we were just a few feet from our destination, we ran into someone who knew her. He was an older gentleman too. He asked me I was going to sing at the hospital but I explained I was just escorting her. They both thanked me and he grabbed her hand. Before they walked off, she said “so nice to have met you.” I replied with the same. It was unexpected but nice.
She’s definitely brave. I’m a stranger but she trusted me. I wonder if she has any family to care for her. If she does, why would they let her go out alone that way?
I just wanted to share that. Be nice to elderly people. Be nice to everyone, period. A little kindness can brighten up a stranger’s day. It can even brighten up your day.

Now tell me she is not an AMAZING Woman.
When people say they “Hate her” because of her voice, I just want to punch them straight in their faces.
I LOVE FRAN DRESCHER
It’s not even her real voice
Am i the only one who thinks Fran’s shrill, nasally comedy voice is in fact adorable and sexy?
How did some homophobic douche like Chuck Norris ever become the go-to “badass” internet meme when Fran Drescher existed?
I can’t not reblog this. I can’t.
I love her! She’s one classy lady.
