Yep, that's what I'm after. You always sum up my opinion so well.

Those sluts deserve what they get for dressing that way. Actually, someone has to sum up your opinions, since you rarely do. And you haven't here. Relying instead on passive/aggressive whining. And snotty "gotchas." Once in a while you're clever. But not nearly so frequently as you seem to believe. Why not offer some solutions for this "problem" that has your t*ts in such an uproar?

For instance, you have claimed, twice, that "unfounded" and "liar" are synonymous. Please offer citations from the dictionary you're using to confirm that, thank you.

Remember the scene from Hunt for Red October where Borodin says he wants to buy an RV? Then he asks Ramius about traveling from state to state and asks whether he'd need "papers." Ramius says: "no papers."

There was a case from Ireland sometime back where a little girl was impregnated by a rapist and her father wanted to fly her out of the country for an abortion. The Irish government intervened, essentially closing the border to her. She was denied her right to travel, because the government "thought" she was going to do something that was illegal in her country in an another country where it was legal. She wound up getting the abortion.

Sure they can. It's called a use tax. We here in Maine are supposed to pay tax on anything we buy when tax isn't collected (Internet transactions or states with no sales tax like New Hampshire) but of course no one does. As for this hypothetical example, the answer is no but I would expect some state to try it anyway. Some joker DA in Tennessee got a conviction for pornography against a California man even though the guy had never set foot in the state. I think in the end a higher court said Tennessee had no jurisdiction and the case was tossed.

Ummm, Duke Lacrosse...

Duke Lacrosse is a bit different because everyone convicted them the day it happened and the DA and the media basically destroyed them publically. Releasing a composite sketch of the accused is not even close to the same thing and is standard practice pretty much everywhere.

The cops were idiots plain and simple.

You miss the point. Duke Lacrosse was the perfect storm of the cult of "believe the victim." To left wing bigots, those boys were also the equivalent of hitting for the cycle: white, jocks and well to do. Even though victimized by an enormous miscarriage of justice, cultists believe they were "collateral damage" in the war against the hoards of "rapists" that infest our college campuses.

You obviously believe every jot and tittle of how that case went down. And maybe the lefty article has it exactly right. And the Norfolk PD was operating in the dark ages. If so, it was high time for their procedures and attitudes to be updated. But there's no evidence to suggest that ineptitude is wide spread--except of course for members of the cult, who "know" this sort of stuff goes on everyday, everywhere. Then again, perhaps the lefty article assumes "facts not in evidence," and turns an unreliable complainant into Jeanne D'arc. Or maybe Benson and Stabler were just working another case. It also stands to reason "artists sketches" are of limited utility, with declining efficacy as more of them are issued.

Authorities release sketch of taxi driver in alleged rape

Irresponsible Boston Police. Don't they know accused rapists are innocent?

You really need to argue with a little more specificity and a little less middle school sarcasm. First you asserted that reporting campus rapes to the police was too hard on the victims, and was it any wonder that "lots" of rapes aren't reported? Then you talked about how college "rapists" aren't sufficiently punished by extra-legal campus bodies. As a self-confessed "card carrying member of the ACLU," I'm a little confused by your attitude. On the one hand, the ACLU doggedly protects the rights of the accused, including murderers, rapists, traitors and the lot. But you seem to be arguing for an entirely separate category here: campus based "sexual assaults" for which criminal complaints have not been made. And you seem (although, as is customary, you really haven't explained your position) willing to jettison certain Supreme Court decisions (Gideon, Escobedo, Miranda, etc) which strengthened protections for the accused. You seem perfectly comfortable with giving plenipotentiary authority to campus investigators to hand down Draconian punishments.

In the case at hand, it looks like the cops did the right thing. A potential multiple offender, who was reported to the police. BTW, in the case you and Salon find so upsetting, were the Norfolk police aware that the offender was a suspect in multiple attacks at the time the "victim" was "hounded"? Or are you applying an ex post facto standard? I'd imagine most rape victims who report to the police are telling the truth. But you seem to be unable to grasp the concept that campus "rapes" reported only to university authorities frequently have a high degree of ambiguity, which is absent in assaults by strangers.

So tell us, why is a "card carrying member of the ACLU" apparently so enthusiastic about punishing campus "rapists," regardless of whether their rights are sufficiently protected? And why does he insist on conflating two entirely different categories of offense? And why does he persist with entirely anecdotal arguments?

I've been giving some thought to the "Million Muslim March" scheduled for 9/11. And I've been consumed with guilt with how badly we're treating these people. And I've come up with some possible counter marches that would prove their point.

How 'bout a "Million Angels March?" Think Sturgis, only without the paunchy middle aged professionals reliving their youth, and cops.

How 'bout a "Million Gang Bangers March?". Think of the guys Marcellus had in mind: "What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' n****** who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch." Gangster Disciples, Blackstone Rangers, Crips, Bloods, etc who are free that weekend could squeeze the march in (with no serious impact on their innocent civilian body counts). They could also bring along their pets: Dobies, Rotts and Pits, just for the atmosphere.

Or maybe the "Million Hos March." Think of it, a million "sex workers," dressed in pork chop bikinis, parading own Pennsylvania Avenue, assuring the gentlemen they "really like them," and it's "more than just the money."

If this wouldn't show how badly Muslims are treated here, especially when compared to the lands where they are in the majority, nothing would.
