I have only gotten 3rd party info from my wife. It appears 7 men may have drugged and raped a woman on campus at Cornell, and their punishment was writing an essay, rather than being dragged behind the barn and shot.

"may have"

They absolutely did. The scum.

I’m all for punishing the guilty. I’m also okay waiting for their guilt to be established rather than alleged.

Edit: Guilty by a judge and jury, not some dipshit college administrator who makes them write essays.

I've both been sexually assaulted and also accused of sexual assault when it was consensual. I have lost all faith in the majority of people because of what happened. If it was just those two people then I could say that in general people are good, but so many people that had no clue what happened thought they were experts. Just vile ignorant hate that they felt so justified over. Thank you for being one of the few sane people out there.
