OWS Rape Statement Reveals Slutwalker Mentality

Its sad how effective these rape claims are at discrediting OWS on the national level. Regardless of their veracity, they discredit the movement. I've had people tell me that they don't support it because of all the theft, rape and drug use. What the fuck does that have to do with the message? Nothing. But thats how dumb people who vote decide.

"For one thing, if the protestors have to spend all their time chaperoning teenage girls in the camps, they are not going to have much time for anything else. Additionally, while the alleged victim may not be at fault in a strictly legal sense, it sure was stupid of her to jump in a strange man’s tent at night, but all the “Occupiers” can do is bleat on about victim-blaming, all while they denounce the very police who are dealing with the problems they invited and can’t handle. Slutwalkers in a nutshell…"

Really? I'm all for people being responsible and holding themselves accountable for their own actions but she trusted a guy to protect her and he completely fucked her over. Granted it's a "he-said-she-said" scenario where it's totally possible she's overreacting due to emotional stress (the guy in the tent rolled over in his sleep and nudged her boob or something) but you can't call her stupid for wanting to be safe. That's ridiculous. I will agree that 18 year old college freshmen shouldn't be sleeping in tentfarms in the middle of NY though.

I think these alleged assaults reports that are popping up across the nation are just attempts to distract Americans from the message of OWS and discredit the protesters by painting them as criminals and rapists. Sexual assaults may or may not be happening in Occupy camps, we have no way of knowing that as of right now - investigations have to be done into the assaults by the police. However, I do not recall the national media caring so much about alleged sexual assaults and rape until reports of such happening at OWS began (the exception to this would be high-profile cases involving celebrities or athletic teams - Polanski, Duke Lacrosse, Sandusky, etc).

So, shame on the national media for the way they are reporting these stories.
