Well, I can only go by what is written and not what I want to think happened... she sounds like she has some serious mental issues, probably from a crappy upbringing. I hate rape as much as any normal person would, but to accuse others of it under false pretenses is just as bad IMO.
And it’s on the internet, so it must be true ;)
You’ve got two kinds of criminals, the ones who show remorse, and the ones who view the crime as only the first move.
Like I said, i can only go by the facts presented. She recanted...you can make it out however you wish to fit your view of the world.
Facts and statements aren’t the same thing, an argument can be valid and still be unsound.
So, did the accused thugs and their families convince the woman that letting it go would be better for her and her family’s health?
Somehow I don’t believe we will ever be privy to the truth on this one.
Everyone involved in this case is black.
Oh, well, I still don’t believe the yutes story.
