UVA and the alleged frat rape - Rolling Stone backpedals

So what's the latest in this race to the finish line? Did Rolling Stone finish re-reporting this shit yet? Did Columbia issue its report yet?

 

I don't know about that, but I do know that once Greek activities resumed on campus, the answer to preventing frat bros from raping people was to lock all the sorority sisters in their houses:

There was another suggestion:

As gun rights advocates push to legalize firearms on college campuses, an argument is taking shape: Arming female students will help reduce sexual assaults.

Support for so-called campus carry laws had been hard to muster despite efforts by proponents to argue that armed students and faculty members could prevent mass shootings like the one at Virginia Tech in 2007. The carrying of concealed firearms on college campuses is banned in 41 states by law or by university policy. Carrying guns openly is generally not permitted.

But this year, lawmakers in 10 states who are pushing bills that would permit the carrying of firearms on campus are hoping that the national spotlight on sexual assault will help them win passage of their measures.

“If you’ve got a person that’s raped because you wouldn’t let them carry a firearm to defend themselves, I think you’re responsible,” State Representative Dennis K. Baxley of Florida said during debate in a House subcommittee last month. The bill passed.

The sponsor of a bill in Nevada, Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, said in a telephone interview: “If these young, hot little girls on campus have a firearm, I wonder how many men will want to assault them. The sexual assaults that are occurring would go down once these sexual predators get a bullet in their head.”

Or, we could stop the rapists from raping and thus let women live normal lives.

 

Castration for everybody!

What if you dress to the right?

And, man, that PW2 was a prolific, fly-by-night poster. Hmm.

 

In a side note, looks like the Republicans have found their ticket for 2016:

“If you’ve got a person that’s raped because you wouldn’t let them carry a firearm to defend themselves, I think you’re responsible,” State Representative Dennis K. Baxley of Florida said during debate in a House subcommittee last month. The bill passed.

The sponsor of a bill in Nevada, Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, said in a telephone interview: “If these young, hot little girls on campus have a firearm, I wonder how many men will want to assault them. The sexual assaults that are occurring would go down once these sexual predators get a bullet in their head.”

 

... person that's raped ...

He may win the ticket but he's definitely failing the grammar test Thursday.

 

Michael Brown's Death : Racial Bias among police : : Jackie's "Rape" : Rape culture on college campuses

Clearly, these findings – and others included in the report – demonstrate that, although some community perceptions of Michael Brown’s tragic death may not have been accurate, the widespread conditions that these perceptions were based upon, and the climate that gave rise to them, were all too real.

What it Columbia University doing on this investigation, btw? Other than slow-playing this to the point where no one cares anymore?
