Not surprised, no, never surprised

I would love to be shocked that police were not investigating sexual assaults or were treating victims callously.  Alas, I fear this will never happen.  Unless a corporation is at risk, crime means little in this land.  Victims should just forget and move on with their lives.  This is what I learn from the machine.  We should all just forget.

From HRW

excerpt from article entitled DC Police Should Release Documents

In a report released on January 24, 2013, Human Rights Watch said that, based on a review of police department records from between 2008 and 2011, the police had failed to investigate or even document at least 170 sexual assault complaints from victims who went to the Washington Hospital Center, the hospital designated for forensic examinations of sexual assault victims. The report also concluded that the department did not follow up adequately on a significant number of other complaints, and in several cases treated sexual assault victims callously.

The bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man’s bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire…Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up.
