In reply to the discussion: Open Letter to Anonymous and the one they helped, Jane Doe [View all]Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)6. It happens often all over the world
But we usually don't see the crime broadcast so well by the rapists.
In their own ugly way, they have shown just how torturous and soul-killing rape is. Now people understand what hideous scum do to their victims.
They didn't expect their criminal deeds to be spread around the world, did they? But thanks to Anonymous, people now understand this kind of torture of another human.
I don't think any of us wll hear of another gang rape without seeing those images, without hearing Nodianos further humiliating the victim. I think we understand it all much better because Anonymous was not afraid to show us the reality.
And I hope Jane Doe is able to get counseling, and to feel like a valued member of society. Rape victims often don't feel very valued at all.

I love them. They do a lot of good at a risk which makes them okay with me.

Who's at fault??? The assholes who committed the crime and all who watched and did nothing.

Are you suggesting that a 'consequence' of drinking underage should be GANG RAPE!?!?

Don't be an idiot, huh? The idiot is the one who asks "who's at fault?" in this fucking case.

YES! As odd as it is that Rush Limbaugh reads DU, maybe someone in this girls family does too
