But a 31 year old woman at a bar surely was planning to go home with somebody. I’m not saying that absolves him of criminal behavior, it does not. It should not. But she shouldn’t feel as bad.

I find your statement to be very strange.
I simply cannot relate to it in any manner.
You should reflect long and hard on what you said.

Nothing can possible mitigate the shameful act described in this article. How can a human being sink so low as to pull such a stunt. I actually feel sorry for the sick bastard...to wind up as such a pitiful creature.

WTF?

[Impy]

I disagree.

I don’t understand? Because a woman is in a bar she wants to get laid?

That's the stupidest statement I have ever read on FR.

You must be stupid (and yes, the word fits in your case). So, a woman who is in a club and gets raped 'shouldn't feel as bad' because she was probably planning to go home with someone anyways.

Your level of stupidity knows no bounds, and that is not a personal attack. Just a statement of fact.

“If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats or the uncovered meat?” the sheik said in his sermon. “The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.”

Are you a blooming idiot?

Or do you just play one on FreeRepublic?

You should ask the mods to delete your post.

Stupid doesn’t begin to describe it.

[trisham]

That is one of the sickest posts I’ve ever seen.

She may well have been planning to go somewhere with somebody, but the rest is in your twisted self projection.

“But a 31 year old woman at a bar surely was planning to go home with somebody.”

How the hell would you know that? You think every woman at a bar is only there because she wants to have sex with random strangers? That is the dumbest, not to mention most sexist remark I have heard in a long time. I don't know if you are male or female, but either way, it's stupid for you to presume you know every ones motives when obviously you haven't a clue.

One of THE most ridiculous statements I’ve ever read on these boards. So—every woman who goes to a bar for a drink deserves to be drugged, kidnapped and raped?

Would you think the same if some homosexual man slipped the same drug into this guy's drink and he found himself in the same situation as the woman her raped?

Dude how do you know she was ‘looking to go home’ with someone. Meet? maybe or maybe just to have a fun night out and talk to some new people.

There are ‘Pub’ Cultures out there and for many of us raised around it going out for a pint does *not* mean going on the prowl.

[rintense]

You have GOT to be kidding me.

[stentorian conservative]

If she was easy enough to take home, why did he have to drug her? If you can tell from this article that she was "going home with somebody" don't you think Arroyo would have picked up on it as well?

Or maybe a better explanation is that he is a sick bastard who preyed on an innocent woman?
