I just read where someone in the gay community just got charged with issuing a false report after reporting a robbery and beating where he had a homophobic slur written on him.
A while ago a black waitress reported that a customer had written a racial slur on a check and stiffed her for her tip. Outraged people sent her thousands. The same trick was played by a gay waiter also with the same results.
All three of these people should go right to f***ing jail for a while and have some time to see the error of their ways.
People that use the system for a personal vendetta ought to pay dearly for it. The system is there for justice and not to settle petty scores.
Over the years I have heard a couple of police officers say that 80% of real rapes go unreported and that 80% or reported rapes are false reports. I suppose those statistics could be argued and maybe the cops were trying to make a point. Still, the fact is that women are using the system to settle things with men that they are simply angry at for one reason or another.
The penalty for this sort of thing ought to be what the falsely accused would have gotten if he/she had been convicted.
Many years ago before the advent of DNA I knew a guy that had been falsely accused. The rape kit came back proving the woman had sex. The only thing that saved the guy was that his blood type didn't match the blood type of the semen sample.
The false accuser was simply sent on her way with no punishment, free to ruin other lives. I suppose her credibility took a hit, but they can't hold that against her in court if she tries to play the game again.
This is not to say that people shouldn't report valid crimes. They should. It is the duty of a crime victim to report crimes. If not for the purpose of obtaining justice, then to keep the perpetrator from committing the crime again.
People that pull this kind of stiff to further a cause do their cause no good because when the facts finally do come out they simply smear their cause. Better to have a foundation based on unshakable truth than easily dis proven lies.
Personally if some waiter/waitress pulled a stunt like that on me I would do whatever it legally took to have them fired. Then I would sue them and take their unemployment check from them and let them live under a bridge for a wile.

Couple of years back there was a case like this in Germany. A woman claimed to have been assaulted by Neo-Nazis who carved a swastika into her hip, among other things.
ReplyDeleteThe media celebrated her. The politicians shook her hand and praised her as a hero against Neo-Nazis. And she even received an award for her "fight" against "right wing extremism" in Germany.
Everything was fine.
Until the medical examiner said "Excuse me" and pointed out that all the medical evidence shows that she had carved the swastika herself. Within minutes her tale fell apart and everybody learned that she had lied about the entire incident.
I'm not sure what happened to her on the long run.
