I alert whenever I see a post joking about or encouraging prison rape. I'd guess the hide rate is less than 20 percent. Prison rape is a human rights issue, plain and simple. For the life of me I don't understand how people could strongly condemn the rape of women in the free world then turn around and encourage it in prisons. It makes no sense to me.

While I greatly prefer the jury system to the DU2 moderating system, this is one area where the current system is inferior. The mods took a zero-tolerance approach to this issue.

A neighborhood watch person volunteer? Is there another kind? crayfish May 2012 #23
This article cites him as a "Captain" Grassy Knoll May 2012 #27
The REAL neighborhood has made it clear he wasn't one of them. crim son May 2012 #47

Very few people on here believe Zimmerman was an open racist in the style of a KKK member. Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #81
Well, that is certainly more than enough evidence to convict him. I suggest we just go ahead and crayfish May 2012 #21

I certainly hope and pray you are correct.....nt MindMover May 2012 #106
OK. Now why would the prosecutor and defense counsel both want to keep the same JDPriestly May 2012 #28
Reading the article, my impression is both sides want different stuff away from the public Quixote1818 May 2012 #35
I had the impression they were trying to seal the same evidence. Thanks. JDPriestly May 2012 #84

Should be interesting..... Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #53
The parties to the case have nothing to do with the flow of "information" we're being spoon-fed slackmaster May 2012 #54
So what do you believe is at play? Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #55
The motive is profit. Two, perhaps three conflicting narratives are being maintained by the media. slackmaster May 2012 #61
I agree the media has the tendency to play up stories. Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #64
I respect your opinion, but I think the underlying contexts you perceive have been hyped as well slackmaster May 2012 #70
But just because one story is publicized and ten similar ones aren't doesn't necessarily.... Tommy_Carcetti May 2012 #73
I don't consider any murder to be frivolous. They're all tragic. Equally tragic. slackmaster May 2012 #75
