My thoughts at the bottom:
And thank AeneasBK for making me aware.
Police are hunting for a man who sexually assaulted two six-year-old girls at Legoland theme park.
The girls were attacked as they played in the Castaway Camp in the Pirate Shores area of the Windsor tourist attraction.
The attack, by a man described as in his late teens or early 20s, happened between 12.15pm and 12.30pm on Thursday.
The offender, who was not known to the victims, is described as a white man, possibly under 5ft 8ins tall, wearing dark-coloured slim-fitting trousers, a dark-coloured T-shirt and trainers.
Detective Inspector Penny Mackenzie, of Thames Valley Police, said: "I would ask anyone who visited the Legoland Windsor Resort on Thursday, especially if you went to Castaway Camp in Pirate Shores, to check any photographs from your trip to see if you recognise anyone matching the offender.
"Also, if you recognise the offender's description or have some other information, no matter how insignificant you think it is, we want to hear from you."
Anyone with information can contact police on at URN615@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk, or call 101 or call charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Posting for awareness purposes, but since I must give my own thoughts, I must be honest here.
Sure this upsets me. Rapists suck and pedo's suck more. We all can agree with that right? However, why can't all cases be taken seriously? Here is my gripe (which I think many people here will agree with)
- I don't care what religion an alleged rapist follows or what skin color they are. I simply expect fairness in the legal system. Meaning the following.
1: All rape cases are taken seriously. Rape by a group of Europeans, Americans or what have you of any race. They should all be taken serious and investigated.
2: Anyone raped or assaulted should go to the police ASAP. Not to the Twitter, not to her blog. To the police. Do not wait several months. Don't wait to come forward when some other lady comes forward years later. Do not go on talk shows and then talk about how you are afraid that people will not believe you, while you tell the entire world and enjoy their support.
3: And I don't think the accused name should be made public unless the verdict is guilty. Shit like this is a life changer. Even being proven innocent will still have you labeled as the rapist pedo.
And last, false accusations should carry a penalty. Just my opinion.
So yeah, this news story isn't really special. Really run of the mill. But i wanted to express that people do not get outraged when someone commits a crime and things happen as they should. They get outraged when the law does not apply evenly to all people. Just like everyone got outraged when that white kid only got six months. And just like I am still pissed that the "I'm too rich to care" defense is a real fucking thing.
