This whole story smells like the fraud perpetrated by Janet Cooke of the Washington POst years ago.
Me believes the author of this peice planned the entire article around making this statement. It certainly makes a point. But it is out of place for the tenor, context and tempo of the rest of the article. I may need to read it again to understand if the author was building on innuendo prior to the money quote.
BTW - I do not dissagree with the author.
What the UVA rape case reveals is how quickly Democrat memes for the 2016 Presidential campaign will unravel when subjected to objective evaluation.
Interesting, isn’t it, how both the Lena Dunham and UVA allegations hit the media at about the same time? Too clever by half.
Since the DIM nominee will likely be female, and can’t talk about anything Obama has done, the “Male as aggressor/Female as victim” was intended to be a central focus leading up to the 2016 election. Kinda fun to watch both stories crash and burn.
The fact remains, American College campuses remain one of the largest sections of society were men and women hook up for dating and for many eventual marriage. They’re young, they’re 18 to 26 predominantly and their looking for a mate whether they know it or not — and a high probability is that there’s more female to males looking for that eventuality — but that’s my own speculation.
I sometimes wonder if ‘evil ones’, or the mentally disturbed progressive feel like if left untouched and unsullied that the colleges become the breeding grounds and mills for more ‘white privileged’ or worse, the ‘white indifferent’ — who end up becoming those swing or undecideds that we hear about during major elections and that blacks will remain mired in the ‘Lord of the Flies’ culture they’ve created for themselves, and that feminism will erode away as smart college women and men learn that it takes a solid family to become economically competitive later in life.
“What the UVA rape case reveals”
We have a two year old story about a crime not reported to the police, told by an alleged victim who won’t reveal her identity, about alleged unidentified criminals whose whose actions have never been investigated, written by a reporter who did not verify any statements of the storyteller or try to interview most of the alleged participants, and published by a magazine whose political and social agenda the story supports.
In response to the the undocumented and unsourced article about an alleged incident the national press and activist groups scream in outrage, thousands of students march in protest demanding immediate punishment of the unknown alleged perpetrators, the reputation of a prestigious university is tarnished and the president of the university proclaims solidarity with the anonymous victim and panders to the crowd by closing down student run organizations to which 1/8 of the student population belongs.
In addition the alleged event occurred at the university founded by the founding father of the nation who penned the Declaration of Independence.
Coincidence, orchestrated, or just another day in what was once a great nation?
“As someone who believes that campus rape is a genuine problem, I found some aspects of the Rolling Stone tale not credible. The young woman claims, for example, that she was pushed into a glass table that smashed beneath her and then gang raped by seven students on cut glass. She says she then stumbled from the frat house bleeding and disheveled, yet her friends discouraged her from going to the hospital because it might quash their plans to rush at fraternities.”
How many Frat houses at UVA had glass tables, are there pictures,...then look for ones where a glass table is now missing...ask questions as to why and what happened to the table...look for traces of blood and broken glass in carpets or between cracks in a wood floor or linoleum...cleaning doesn’t get it all completely!
There are ways to track down the truth...
Sabrina Rubin Erdely needs to be publicly shamed for this hoax, repeatedly, including her picture, all over the internet. Time to start using the full Saul Alinsky treatment on these leftwing phonies.
As a member of the frat accused, albeit at another University, I am madder than hell about this. When “everyone just knows” something the facts no longer matter. Everyone just knows how racist cops are. Everyone just knows about those rapist frat boys. And where did this journalist learn these “truths?” Why at journalism school from the same professors who taught the alleged accuser the same truths.
