The alleged victim says bystanders ignored her pleas for help when she escaped, and that authorities didn’t take her report seriously for weeks

Alright so...I'm ready to start setting shit on fire. Who's with me?!

I don't want to set shit on fire, I want to breathe fire on shit like a fucking dragon.

I can't agree more.

Ugh, this is horrible. Good to know if I travel 1,000 ft across the border to Mercer County and end up being raped, I will be given the third degree by those sworn to protect me. This poor woman. So glad my mom doesn't have to catch the train there anymore.

Right there with you on the incoherent screaming.

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

If there was ever a post that deserved my "fist of death" icon, this is it. The police in that town sound like horrible, horrible people.

That said, aside from adding my incoherent rage to everyone else's, I feel the need to point out that the tag on this should be "new jersey," not "new york."

ginger_maya March 25 2014, 23:30:50 UTC

Oh, I'll fix the tag right away. I think I conflated it with the source being NBC New York and all.

I am so ashamed of humanity right now. So ashamed of those fucking piece of shit bystanders that refused to help someone who was VERY FUCKING CLEARLY injured and needed help. And I am so fucking ashamed of those worthless excuses for police officers, treating her like that ( ... )
