It would be better if the takeaway line for photo #5 was "Don't rape people, you little shitheads."

March 17, 2013 — Judge Thomas Lipps speaks from the bench to the families of Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond after delivering verdicts in their trial in juvenile court in Steubenville. Lipps urged everyone who had witnessed what happened in the case, including parents, “to have discussions about how you talk to your friends, how you record things on the social media so prevalent today and how you conduct yourself when drinking is put upon you by your friends.”

Social media aren't the problem. Raping people is the problem.

So a couple hours ago, Iowahawk does this tweet. It has a few minutes of great music from a B-3.

So then I find the place on Wiki, and it has this wonderful photograph. It's crazy-poignant, because if you've ever lived in the industrial Midwest during the winter, that photo conveys both the romance and the horror of a cold night.

But Chicago is a big and mysterious city, right?

A few minutes later I get curious and decide to find the place on Google Earth, and it turns out it's on the very corner where I had one of the greatest evenings of my life, musical and otherwise.

Evening described by someone else. And photos.

There are connections for all of this... Life is not as random as it seems.

Photos. There.

Shit! Here's the corner. That was supposed to be a great series of comments.

HEY AMY... Better comment software.

Social media aren't the problem. Raping people is the problem.

Exactly. Exactly. -- Amy Alkon at March 17, 2013 2:18 PM

I'm going to have to disagree on this one. You have several drunk, underage, horny kids.

You have a drunk female teenage student in a blackout state.

Something happened.

Was it wrong? Probably. Was it rape? I have no fucking clue. Did she object? No one knows. Did she have capability to object? No one knows. Did the guys ignore objections she made? No one knows. Did she make objections? No one knows.

I admit I didn't have sex with a 23 year old when I was 26. I did perform oral sex and then she passed out. I didn't know she was so trashed when we started. Was it rape?

> Was it rape?

Yes.

There's a reason you chose that signature, and it's not a nuance.

Was it wrong? Probably.

No, it was wrong

Was it rape? I have no fucking clue.

Yes it was. Look I dont thing a woman who has a few beer and takes a guy home has cause to complain about rape. A girl drugged against her will via conspiracy and carted around town while passed out does.

Did she object? No one knows.

Yes, several people remarked she wanted to leave before she passed out entierly

Did she have capability to object? No one knows.

Are you so fucking stupid as to understand unconcious? Tell you what, give me your address, I'll come over drug you into passing out, ask if you want me to insert half a dozen stake knives in your asshole, and if you fail to say no, I'll just assume it means yes

Did the guys ignore objections she made? No one knows.

They did, they posted on the internet that they did

Did she make objections? No one knows.
The fact that you asked this question twice is telling

You all saw that right? He quite obviously consented to having knives shoved up his rectum
