Rampant rampaging rapists run wild on campus:
From Wikipedia:
"A Rape on Campus," alleged a macabre gang rape by members of Phi Kappa Psi at the University of Virginia. In the aftermath, the University suspended all fraternities, and university president Teresa Sullivan declared "the whole [fraternity] culture is sick." In a nationally published op-ed a law student at the University called for fraternities to be treated as "criminal street gangs" subject to asset forfeiture.
Richard Bradley, editor in chief of Worth magazine, was the first mainstream journalist to question the Rolling Stone article After an interview Erdely gave to Slate, in which she appeared to offer evasive responses about the way in which she investigated the piece, some commentators escalated questioning the veracity of the story. It was later revealed Erdely had not interviewed any of the men accused of the rape.
Fraternity officials noted a number of discrepancies with the story, including that there was no party held on the night of the alleged rape, as the accuser had claimed, that the "ringleader" of the rape named in the story was not a member of the fraternity, and that details about the layout of the fraternity house provide by the accuser were wrong. Fraternity officials also noted that, prior to the Rolling Stone story, there had never been a criminal investigation or allegation of sexual assault against an undergraduate member of the chapter.
Washington Post reporters who later interviewed the accuser at the center of Erdely's story said that she had felt "manipulated" by Erdely.
Its bad enough that the general populace seems to have been ready to jump on the bandwagon, but university officials are supposed to have more restraint and intelligence to lead the lynch mob.
Seems to be the same way with the Navy. As "The Brass" take away Bill Cosby's honorary rank of Chief Petty Officer, the rank and file focus on the fact that he has never been indicted, tried or convicted and should be left alone. Or, as one sailor put it, The Secretary of the Navy took an oath to defend the Constitution, not to abide by it.
