ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze FD, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for what happened to your son's gf and I hope she is OK. Having worked in the media for a long time (and yes, willing to provide a ton of articles with my real name on it, since you got my name and phone and shit, not worried), the fact that it wasn't reported is actually good for her, there is a lot of shit that happens to victims, starting from terror, intimidation etc. As for why it isn't reported, the police doesn't report to the media, the media has to request info, that info then is filtered to protect alleged victims and criminals, simply because a report that won't even make it to court and ends up being withdrawn, could end somebody's career and life as they know it. Not a lot of news outlets will require how many rapes happened after a certain game, however horrible it is, the regular rape won't make the news unless it is a very dry day, it's too run of the mill, gropings hardly ever get reported unless extreme. A woman being groped tries to get away, if she goes to the police, yes they will file a report but unless she knows the name or the guy has a tattoo on his forehead, it's not going anywhere and it doesn't receive the same attention as a "real" crime. I'm not happy with it but I do understand the limitations of the system. As for the fuckheads damaging your car, we didn't have the riot insurance and got caught up in the Manchester riots (basically scum looting and pretending it's Tiananmen Square), shit yes, that stuff can cost you a bundle, I seriously don't know why assholes switch their brains off when it comes to football, but even here in this sleepy corner of the UK, when Germany trashed the UK in the football worldcup, some brain dead asshat tried to kick one of my dogs, because you know, Dobie is a German breed and obviously she used her evil mind powers to make the Brits lose, nevermind that she was born in Liverpool (or at least that was the place where we rescued her from). I think a lot less rapes and gropes would happen without peer pressure and guys trying to feel the need to show off, or if some of the guys who pretend it doesn't happen wouldn't deliberately look away and grow a fucking pair, heck, nobody expects that a scared little boy actually does something himself, but everybody has a mobile now, just calling the police might help A LOT, more than sticking the head in the sand in any case... This its this bad with reporting rape now, and its better than it has been for decades. yeah, the place to be reporting rape isn't to a BDSM website.
