Reply #3: I guess I missed the trial?

Right now we have allegations - and a sudden huge media blitz, about a story that's been reported here in NC for a least a week (that I can remember). No one has confessed, or been found guilty. No one has been proven to have lied,either. In other words, we don't know yet whether the allegations are true or false. Maybe someone in that house did rape her. Maybe she got there for her gig, and saw dollar signs when she realized who her clients were. I do not know. I also do not judge them for hiring an exotic dancer to perform, nor do I judge her badly for being an exotic dancer. Now if any or all of them are guilty, and are found guilty in a court of law, ok, I'm fine with that. I just am not going to make a judgment on it from the sparse amount of factual information released so far.

But I do know this...they keep repeating that there were 40 or 48 people in that house, but you cannot get 40 guys in that house. I know this because my husband has been in that house, when it was the house of his grandparents neighbour(a little old lady, he says, whose son was a cop). He says that house is too small for 40 guys inside, and I believe him. I've seen it on the outside, and it is very small. It would be like trying to stuff a phone booth with football players or something.

Right now this is just the latest variation on the "missing white girl" theme of news-reporting. Sensationalism, with lots of breathlessness and fake outrage from Raspy Rita.
