You've been busy, and the paint incident of 2016 will go down in the record books as a doozy. I love reading your thoughts and hearing about your shenanigans . . . I tend to agree with your points of view and feel we are like-minded on most things. Just thought you should know that I truly enjoy reading your blog and am glad you are such a faithful poster . . . unlike some of us! <br /><br /><br />And yes, just like yourself and most folks with a heart, this post topic brings out the rage in a big way. I simply cannot fathom how things are so broken in our system that this "boy" all but gets away with it. And the senseless deaths in Orlando this weekend . . . sometimes it seems like watching the news just isn't worth it.

It's a bit of a moot point since they found him guilty (small favors), but I cannot comprehend how he is still claiming that they were having consensual sex... Behind a dumpster. Yes, every woman wants to lay on the ground behind some nasty ass dumpster to have sex. That makes ALL the sense! Ok, that's all.

How rape victims are often treated worse than their rapists. How we blame them. Not okay. Not true. It just makes so me angry and yet some lawmakers are soooooo worried about transgenders using the "wrong" bathroom and using rape to justify their discrimination. If they were so fucking worried about rape, then where are they now? I've signed the petition and hope to God that dumbass judge gets thrown out. The only good thing is Brock can't hide. We know the truth: he is a convicted rapist. He may have had a bright future but he CHOSE to throw it away when he RAPED a woman. This was HIS choice and he needs to be held responsible, which pretty much everyone but the judge seemed to understand.

I hope that fucking prick drowns in a damn pool when he gets out in 6 months. The fact that it is inconvenient for him to be in prison for longer than 6 months for a horrible act of rape that he did just enrages me to the depths of my soul. This is such a grave injustice and this is what is wrong with society today. What message does this send out to guys out there???? That they can take any woman they want and do whatever with her just as long as they have a little money and a promising future because then the sentence is considered with leniency?!?!?!

Every single rapist has that "first time" just because it was the first time and he's never done it before does NOT make it right. SO if he didn't get caught would he just keep going and not ever do it again...highly unlikely and with just his slap on the wrist he will do it again. <br />I just had this conversation the other day with some friends of mine...I am SO TIRED of it being my responsibility as a woman to keep a guy from lusting, raping, or whatever. Why is it my responsibility to make sure some asshole doesn't have horrible thoughts or actions by what I'm wearing, drinking, eating or how I'm acting. Why in the hell am I responsible for that? Why is it my job to dress appropriately or not over indulge just to make sure that some guy keeps it in his pants or doesn't make some rude comment about me. When is society going to start making the man responsible for his own damn actions...<br />Girl you got me heated all over again...ha!Lora Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331097398979763849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-45501581837630454752016-06-09T10:05:22.217-04:002016-06-09T10:05:22.217-04:00I appreciate your anger and, like you, wish there ...I appreciate your anger and, like you, wish there was more of it going around. 6 months?!
