#WhyIDidntReport: Victims Answer President Donald Trump | The Last Word | MSNBC

MSgt Dale Johnson - He is going to try to get you to follow a posting standard he does not follow himself in order to limit your contributions on RP. That is where MSG Sweeney is going here.........just to give you a heads up. He just tried it with me on another thread on this same page. Didn't work in my case.

MSgt Dale Johnson I get there eventually. Thanks for hanging in there.

You certainly sound like one. But don't sell yourself short. You've already sunk to incredible levels of incivility.

MSgt Dale Johnson you nailed it.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - There is nothing than can make a victim of assault experience worse that facing her accuser and everyone accused has the right to face the person accusing them. A false accusation creates two victims and really more as many that are accused have families. If the FBI and local law enforcement come back and say there is no crime in the Ford case, Kavanaugh's wife and children are now victims as well. Is that the outcome we are really looking at? His wife is female and has the same rights as Ford and if at the end of the day no crime is found, does Ford's rights trump the rights of women in his life on a false accusation?

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - There were no accusations or stalling tactics against Gorsuch because the Democrats were keeping count and decided he had a pass since he did not represent a swing vote, instead in the Democrats mind he was a restoration of right vs left decision making. They are raising all this hell and stalling Cavanaugh because the Democrats feel he will tilt the court in favor of the right. How on earth the Democrats have those extensive psychic powers to predict that he will never change his opinions and what he will rule in the future........still unknown. His rulings in the past have changed over time and he even stated in his confirmation hearings his views on Roe vs Wade changed over time........fell on deaf ears.
Lets say he never changes his opinions, what about other members of the court changing theirs over time which has happened repeatedly in the past changing the balance (but no political party could intervene). Did the country fall apart or go to hell in a hand basket?
Nope. Democratic base pushing the Democratic Party says this nomination cannot go through not because he is unqualified on a judicial basis but because he is unqualified on a idealogical basis. This whole thing is a circus and will achieve absolutely nothing in the end but destroy peoples reputations and defile the alleged victim in the public's eyes. Nothing positive is going to come out of it for either side. We are going through it because a few on the left view Supreme Court appointments as a score card on who is winning control of our society. The reality is nothing they have done in the past from Robert Bork to Anita Hill has advanced their cause one bit but it has caused a lot of collateral damage with peoples reputations, confidence in our government to perform, and the ability of left vs right to compromise on other issues. Second FBI background investigation after Anita Hill resulted in a large delay but changed no facts. Precisely why they do not want to repeat the waste of time here.

SPC Erich Guenther equality has existed for at least 40 years for most groups of people. People these days that scream about equality don’t want to be treated equally, they want to be treated in a manner that puts them on a pedestal above everyone else.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - False accusations are very common. In my 31 year law enforcement career, I investigated or supervised the investigation of many sex crimes. My experience is that nearly 50% of allegations were proven false. I recently spoke to several retired sex crime investigators who investigated both juvenile and adult sex crimes. They all agreed with my numbers, one juvenile sex crime Investgator said he had a 90 % false reporting level. There was a recent book out that said on the national level, the rate of false reports is roughly 40%.

To say that people don’t lie about sex crimes is completely false.

It's all going to end with fingers pointing towards "Casper the Friendly Ghost" and his cartoon series will be pulled from the air as punishment. Then the Senate will move on to vote on the nominee.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro Oh I read your post when you said “no one said she lied” yet I showed you exactly where someone made that accusation. So lets move on from where you’re wrong on that point.

Yes Judge wrote books that not only including his drinking behavior but that of his buddies; thus was Kavanaugh one of those buddies. So yeah in context it does matter. So you’re now dismissing her cause an unsatisfactory number of people that knew her in high school hasn't come forward to defend her character. That’s not even a requirement for believing an accuser. What next? You’ll judge her by the number of teen friends she had in comparison to Kavanaugh? No wonder popular kids and elitist think they can get away with anything.
Seems like Kavanaugh is getting plenty of benefit of the doubt and support from Republicans and Conservatives in Congress and in the media. So I don’t know how you’re claiming he’s not getting that.
You accuse Dems of ready to tar and feather Kavanaugh yet it’s Ford that is receiving threats of violence.

We’re done here.

LTC David Brown Yes she named a woman that was at the party. Do you remember every high school or college party you’ve been to? Unlike something traumatic or momentous had happened to you while there you probably wouldn’t remember a 30+ year old party either. But you have to ask the woman a series of related questions to see if anything jogs her memory. Would two extremely drunk guys remember assaulting a girl? Maybe. Would a traumatized girl remember something that traumatized well into her 40-50s? You know she will. I don’t remember every time I went swimming but I remember the time I almost drown during a swim class when I was 8. Memory and trauma is unpredictable.
One last thing, don’t tell a rape victim what she should’ve done. If you’re ever raped do you think you’ll run to the first person you see? Ask a guy who’s been raped. From what I’ve heard from SARCs in mandatory training, men like women won’t run for help right away either.

MAJ James Woods - She said she didn’t know Kavanaugh or any of the other people Ford mentioned. This is a life long friend. You would think at some point in the years after she recovered the memory she would have said something like “ hey, you remember that party we were at when I was 15? Well I just remembered I was sexual assault there, you remember any thing about it? “. Now there were 5 named people and only 1 of the 5 (Dr. Ford) remembers being there. Now it seems Kavanaugh kept journals. He wasn’t in town most of the summer of 82 according to some sources. Dr Ford insists for now, she was 15 at the time of the alleged assault . So we are pretty sure it was the summer of 82. This isn’t a cold case. There is no record until 2012, the exact location isn’t known. There are even questions about the exact number. Were there 6, Dr Ford, Keysler, Smith, Judge, PJ and one other male or was it 5 Ford, Keysler, Smith, Judge and Kavanaugh? The only one remembering being there is Dr Ford. Now Kavanaugh journaled. So he does have some record. It doesn’t preclude him being there but ,if his journals are accurate , it will severely limit the probability because he was out of town a lot that summer. Also, Ford wasn’t raped. She claims she was sexually assaulted. Some women come forward, some don’t, it is very individual. I also almost drown when I was about 8. Failed a swim test in the deep end.
