Before I go on, there's a serious reason why. Date rape.
I've just gotten off the phone with one of my closest friends, and I've gathered my thoughts, and I'm seeing this though tears.
My friend was date raped. Two days after her 35th birthday, which was three months ago. She was too afraid to tell me. Montana has a law where rape is not really "rape". It's sexual assault and that is all. And apparently, for the charges to go through, the raper has to admit that he knew in his head that he/she was raping someone at the time.
Seriously? My friend is sitting there while these BEEP are trying to decide if he decides that he did anything wrong when they have their evidence.
She told me she is never going to go to law enforcement again after this if something happens. It's happened to her twice now, once in the state hospital and now this.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT THE FIGHT IF NO ONE GIVES A CRAP? HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET VICTIMS TO COME FORWARD IF NO ONE GIVES A CRAP?
So I don't feel like Batman today. I just think I needed to vent and tell you all, TELL SOMEONE IF YOU ARE ASSAULTED.
Thats it, I'm calling it, I can't. Just report this stuff. Please.
