Rehtaeh Parsons Rape Case Solved By Anonymous in Less Than 2 Hours Despite "No Evidence"

[Posteritatis]

72. I'm not sure that's going to happen in this case

People look the other way for a lot of things in Nova Scotia, but I don't think I've seen the province as a whole this angry over, well, anything. "Normal" bullying is one thing, but this went beyond that and it's starting to sound like the school principal was obstructing the investigation. The general outrage in the public plus the fact that, well, you and I are talking about this on a thread hosted in another country altogether, when a lot of people in town were already disgusted enough about Steubenville, should be telling. It's definitely not a case of a rural school out of the spotlight.

I've seen junior high and high school principals around here sacked for considerably less than that. That the principal's career is over after this summer I'm pretty confident of. I'm less confident of him getting a perp walk for contributing to all of this, but I'd only be a little surprised if charges landed there as well eventually. (I'd be utterly unsurprised if a civil suit did.)
