Some misogyny coming out over this as well

Some of the hate you read on this when you read it you sense some deeper issues going on. They either think she's guilty because she's a woman or she's not guilty because she's a woman. The European media also likes to focus on her sexual history.

Some non-Americans also want to punish her for being American. They view this case as another example of a young American going overseas and behaving badly and then escaping justice. And then they let that override the facts of the case.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
