How about the people that she caused “pain” to?

Look, I'm not apologizing for her, or defending her, or anything.

I just refuse to believe what the media tells me 100%, whether it be Rolling Stone or Breitbart.

I have been invovled with enough things in person, and then later watched or read news coverage about them, to realize that the "facts" goes through a lot of filters in the media process and doesn't always look like it did when it entered.

Did Jackie get some details wrong? Was she confused? Did she embellish? Or was she actauuly gang-raped and I don't know. All of that is possible.

But it is also VERY possible that a young woman, who was traumatized by a sexual assault, was manipulated and used by a Rolling Stone reporter to generate a more salcious story in order to set more magazines.

Rolling Stone had the narrative they wanted to write about already. Whether Jackie willingly fed them half-truths, or whether they just used Jackie to write the kind of story they wanted to write, we may never really know.

In other words, Jackie may have been sexually assualted at UVA and then raped and used again by Rolling Stone.

And as for the other persons involved, if any of them are guilty, I hope they burn for it. And if they are innocent, I pray for them too.
