Another Duke Rape Case

In a story that has no right to national news exposure, an eighteen year-old girl was allegedly raped at a party at Duke University over the weekend. The only reason that we are hearing about it in the news is that it occurred at the same school where a very high-profile rape case occurred less than a year ago.

This is a sad story, but this kind of thing happens at HUNDREDS of college campuses every year. Many victims never come forward. This brave girl did and what happens to her? She's thrust into the spotlight and forced to relive the horrific ordeal so scumbag fucking reporters can make their next sensationalist story.

I don't know all the details of the alleged attack, which is why I didn't propose the victim was entirely innocent because sadly, the victims rarely are entirely innocent. My point in this post is that I shouldn't know anything about this alleged rape unless I were to read the Durham, NC local paper. This is not national news.
