soc_puppet: Words "Full of Rage" in dark red (Frustration)

[Trigger Warning for sexual violence]

What. The. Fuck.

Here's the story: A woman in Michigan is raped by two high-profile university basketball players. That alone is horrific. The crap icing on the shit cake is as follows:

1) The woman wants to prosecute
2) Her story is corroborated by one of the rapists' statements
3) The police think she should file charges
4) And the cowardly-ass prosecutor still wants the case dismissed

Given the number of cases out there where it's difficult to even get one of the first three items, the fact that the prosecutor wants to throw out the case when all three are lined up is just beyond the pale.

For people in the mid-Michigan area, if you're interested and available, information on an informal protest being staged tomorrow outside the prosecutor's office can be found here.

Information on who to contact about this absolute mockery of justice can be found here.

The story itself (with surprisingly good reporting) can be found here [TW applies to the article]. For the love of all living things, believe me, you do not want to read the comments.
