adopted by the name of rob gary admins out walked into any bar in arizona and
he walked to sit at bar completely drunk he flashed his bags to the bodyguard at
at the front door so he wouldn't have to pay cover that he approached the woman
wearing a skirt put his hands up her skirt and reached for her genitals now i
just he was reported to the authorities he was arrested he was investigated and
although he has been fired from the police force and uh... jury found him
guilty for *** assault the judge in this case has decided that the crime is
not serious enough to warrant ngo sentence now the judge is out chaplain
hackett on-site jackson had typology i've and um... she
take in a very fascinating stance on this she's not really blaming the
officer for what he did she's blaming the next down for being at a bar so
here's what she said to have when she talked about this case she says hike to
the woman to the victim
if you want
and in there that night none of this would have happened to you
i hope you look at what you've been through and try to take something
positive out of it
you learned a lesson about friendship anywhere in the lesson about the owner
bility
when you blame others you give up your power to change
i feel like this is really a common theme right now idon't know what brought
this about but you know there's heineken talking about *** and how
it women don't get ready when they get *** the body to shut itself down
you know you hear people talking about how
*** victims ask for it because of the way the dress and in these kinds of
conversations are now coming up regularly
it so unbelievably harmful because it empowers people to take that ***
assault is okay
that they can get away with it
because society is not going to blame the victim
and try to society's happenin inflamed the suspect they're gonna blame the
victim that and its
it sets a horrible horrible standard
yeah i would say i i think that this is
less offensive than some of the other things have been said and honestly if
she had just cut off before that last line when you blame others to give up
your power to change
leg i'd have to hope that she's not speaking specifically to that one
it's as if she's putting her mother and so i think in general as a general rule
it's best to
even in the worst circumstances to see what you can do in the future to improve
your your love life i suppose
but in this context and sing after what happened we have no reason to believe
that she was at all the blame for anything that happened to her he came
from behind her sexually assaulted her so it seems
crass and offensive stu status quo in this case even if it in another context
it wouldn't be as offensive might actually be helpful
uh... but yeah i agree with you it's it's continuing theme of victim blaming
in
i don't think that um... i don't know how that's possible brenda what lesson
about friendship she is supposed to take from this right you know i i i i
disagree with you on one point again i think that this is extremely offensive
because
she's basically telling this one and well if you are not above our you know
and and shan i'm not she did say this or not putting her verbatim but this is
what she's indicating if you are tied up by our like a husky than this one that
happened to you and that's the kind of you know thing that she's implying and i
think that's what makes it so offensive you see what i'm saying it's not like
you should have been involved why were you in a bar and of course is that
happens you depart if it makes me remember witless try to set on fox news
about women who join the military and they get sexually assaulted in the
military you know she said well you're a woman and you're joining the military of
course you may be sexually assaulted you should expect it
no you shouldn't expected we should live in a society where
people are able to go to the bar they're able to join the military and not have
to worry about being sexually assaulted like
