In reply to the discussion: SHE SAID ‘NO’ ...So This DRUNKEN Off-Duty Deputy Handcuffed And Assaulted Her [View all]Shampoobra
(423 posts)...the more I understand why she thought the guy with the camera was up to no good.
In the years since social media has become a dominant force, women have learned that sometimes, a group of men will rape a woman, record the crime on video, and share it online as a kind of trophy.
Now she sees her friend being hit on by a drunk slob. He leaves and comes back with handcuffs, then attacks her friend in public. None of the men in attendance - despite the stereotype of the drinking man who loves to "kick ass," especially when it's an opportunity to impress women - none of them attack the soon-to-be-rapist.
None of the men are helping her friend. Now one of them is filming the attack. I can see why she didn't automatically assume he was a good guy.
