I dunno...I think sending this type of message to money grubbing women (not that they all are) around the country is a bad plan. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that to people like this chick, and yes I feel that the Kobe rape "victim" is one of these women, are going to take this as a sign that the rape "get rich quick" scheme works. And they would be right, I suppose.
If you were raped, and you want to press charges, then f'n press charges and see it through. What is this crap that she can just not show up to testify and get the case dismissed, but continue on with the civil suit? Give me an f'n break...this kinda thing seriously pisses me off...but mainly because most people just seem to look at it and go "Well, that's just the way things are.". If Kobe raped this woman, we need to know, because he shouldn't be on the damn street able to possibly rape other women. If she lied, we need to know too, because she doesn't deserve to be on the street potentially destroying other peoples lives with her BS. Instead, we get a stupid friggin civil case that will prove nothing, and resolve nothing...sure, these two jack offs will be happy, but either way society is screwed. Because one of them is a piece of ****, and both of them are back on the streets, with us.
