    Rape Victim’s Death Ruled “Suicide” By Army

    Just found this article in a comment after reading an article about rape in the military. I looked around and found some good information regarding it. A majority of the information is obviously heated due to the circumstances but it's really worth listening/reading about it and at least signing the petition and/or sending your own email to Waxman.

    Rape Victim’s Death Ruled “Suicide” By Army

    Still no justice for Lavena Johnson

    Youtube TYT Video over it (Guy is very passionate and may turn off critical people)

    You can listen to the story here or read it here.


    Here are the petitions I found regarding it, if you can you really should sign them:

    *tries to post but gets mobbed by the Authoritah Squad*



    ok in all seriousness, this is really terrible and it seems pretty damn obvious something isn't kosher. there's been an uncomfortable trickle of female abuse stories coming out of Iraq which is really sad, as even though the troop culture is generally far from PC, the overwhelming majority aren't the type to do anything close to stuff like this. time to start grilling some brass, but sadly if any responsibility does get doled out it'll end up primarily on some NCO or lower (like Abu Ghraib) ;/

    ...Then she might have been beaten, raped, shot, burned with acid and set on fire within US borders! I don't really see how location plays a role here, other than the fact that some soldier beat, raped, shot, burned with acid and then set on fire a fellow soldier rather than a civilian. I don't think desperation on that level recognizes borders.

    I guess that teaches women not to argue with your man if hes a trained killer.

    y'know I could make an argument for the environment being more conducive to the act, but plainly my response was a sarcastic entertainment of pohibaba's comment.

    Yeah, horrific crimes like this NEVER happen unless you're fighting a war on foreign soil.

    There is a good chance those people wouldnt have commited such crime if they were in their own country.

    During the preview for The General's Daughter, when Travolta says in dramatic fashion "What's worse than rape?" a friend of mine shouted out "getting raped and getting 5 dollars stolen from you!"

    It was funny when I was 17.
