    To Lala: You cant the narrative overtake the facts of a case. Saying there is a bad culture doesnt overtake the fact that this story is now likely a complete fake (see Rolling Stone's newest statement.)

    I would agree with that. Just saying that in my conversations with my family, I'm trying to stress that they can't discount this university or that university and because of stories that come to light, because in this case, may not be true, in others, there may be unreported true cases.

    However this ends up, it highlights to me that we all need to educate our children on safety, health, respect for others and self-respect.

    Side note: I love Honey Badger. He just don't care.

    money quote:
    Will Dana, Rolling Stone’s managing editor, also released a statement with new doubt. “In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie’s account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced,” he said in a statement.

    Thanks for sharing the update. It makes me really sad for everyone involved.

    I think she needs a psych evaluation. Why would she create such a story?

    Agree. I hope for the following....

    - The frat sues ROlling Stone out of existence
    - Women are are raped dont hesitate to report true rape.
    - UVA DOESNT change policies and investigates rapes. Its a job for the police.

    who knows why crazy ppl do crazy things. its like when a nutjob goes off killing ppl with a gun. Theyre crazy, therefore un-explainable.

    ^correct...and thats my point, we only have her word. the reporter nor the police have questioned the alleged rapists. She named them to the reporter, but the reporter made no real attempt to reach out.

    My point is this story appears flimsy, which before it was reported in a magazine shouldve received better vetting, because rape DOES happen, and if this case is a hoax or she's delusional it only harms the ppl who are really raped.

    I'm with the people who say it's not our place to openly question a victim's story. YOU are not privy to all of the information.
