She said what ?!....

So, I know it's been a minute, but right now, I'm feeling some type of way and I had to let it out.

If you're a fellow LI kid, I'm sure you heard about the Hofstra chick that was allegedly raped by 5 guys in a dorm on campus after a party. Well, first of all, I don't give a damn what the crime, unless I find you on the scene in the process of doing what ever it is you're doing... innocent until proven guilty. That is the law of the land and it has been for decades. And by that, I mean if some one has ALLEGEDLY commited a crime, I don't find it just to have their mug shots on the news within 2 hours. I feel like...no, it is a violation of rights considering the fact that, until you are actually convicted, you have privacy rights.

More specifically, the 4 men arrested for the Hofstra chick's "gang rape" late Sunday night, had their pictures, names, and business all over local news stations by the early morning segments and all over the monday morning papers, while her identity was held due to fear for safety and blah blah.
But get this....*drum roll*.... she recanted ! (my friends, this means she LIED). Big deal ? Huge.
The biggest injustice is not that she lied, but that the names of these four young men hit the media no sooner than they had been arrested. What does that mean ? That means that people made judgments, which you know they do when they hear words like:
black men
hispanic men
5 of them
college
rape
bronx
hempstead

..and drew their conclusions. Which eventually leads to an unfair trial by a group of 12 peers who had already made up their minds.

So, what happen to the liar-girl?
Who ? I don't know. What does she look like? I dont know. Where is she from? I don't know.

Oh okay, because I forgot filing a false police report is a felony.

Where is her picture? Where is her name? No where. Yet everybody is so quick to show you the face of a black man who is charged with a crime.

I think this is an issue that can be easily simplified to a case of racisim and sexism. I don't care what the race of the chick is, she is a female.
Had a man filed a false report on a case so serious, I'm sure he would be on the news. I've seen it happen.

So, what I'm basically trying to say is don't believe everything you see (or hear), on the news or not, because you know and I know, as good as anything, that the media is one of the most biased industries in our country.

wattttup !
