He was asked to prove that most rapists are never jailed. He provided a link to a CBS News Story to prove just that.
The problem is, I broke down the complete article on CBS, and found it to be a complete farce. The article is below, with my smart-ass remarks in RED.
This is a long post, but if you are sick to bloody death of feminist propaganda, please take the time to read it. I think it is an excellent demonstration of how feminists have polluted the media, and helped to brain-wash poor souls like David Futrelle.
Exclusive: Rape in America: Justice Denied
A Five-Month CBS News Investigation Finds That a Staggering Number of Rape Kits Aren't Tested
By Armen Keteyian
Nearly 90,000 women reported they were raped in the United States last year.
Just because women REPORT they were raped, does not mean they were actually raped. This is the whole premises of false rape accusations. THIS IS IMPORTANT. They twist this fact later in the article - pay attention!
It's estimated another 75,000 rapes went unreported.
Notice how this article provides no reference for this "estimate". AND - pay attention to the key word "ESTIMATE". It is important, because it is used later (twisted).
But while rape convictions are up - a five month CBS News investigation raises questions about just how many rapists are actually being brought to justice.
Raises questions, but draws no conclusions. Give some credit for their honesty.
Now, we see a typical news-scheme: attempting to illicit an emotional response by telling ONE woman's horror story (is the story even real?):
Valerie Neumann says she didn't expect her 21st birthday to end in rape."He stuck his hands down the sweatpants and was touching me up, like my shirt as well, so I kept telling him, 'no,'" she told CBS News Chief Investigative Correspondent Armen Keteyian.
It started at a bowling alley in Erlanger, Kentucky. A man she just met, a friend of a friend, bought her drink after drink. Later that night, she threw up, and passed out. Then, Valerie says, it happened.
"When I woke up the next morning, my panties and the sweatpants were down around my ankles and my bra was undone," she said.
Valerie said she realized she was raped. Reporting it the next day - a classic charge of acquaintance rape. Nearly three years later still no arrest in the case.
"I feel like, I almost feel like they're calling me a liar. That they don't believe me," Valerie said.
Whatever - one woman's horror story does NOT constitute a social crisis or warrant any kind of over-reaction from the general public.
Rape in this country is surprisingly easy to get away with.
This is pure speculation - did the researchers at CBS news actually rape people, and see how easy it was to get away with it - no. Their reasoning behind "easy to get away with" stems from bad conclusions and interviews with biased people - pay attention!
The arrest rate last year was just 25 percent - a fraction of the rate for murder - 79 percent, and aggravated assault - 51 percent.
Inconclusive. All this means is that women are claiming to have been raped. It does not mean that they actually were raped. Murder is different - as people who are DEAD cannot make a false accusation of MURDER. Note the flagrant stupidity of the assertion. Also, it is extremely unlikely that people frequently consent to being murdered. Again, the entire statement here is asinine. the 25% arrest rate could mean that only 25% of the rape accusations were REAL.
"When we have talked to victims, they very much so doubt that it was worth it for them to go to the police," said Sarah Tofte, US Program Researcher for Human Rights Watch. "They're incredibly disillusioned with the criminal justice system, and that sends a terrible message."
How many were talked to? One, five hundred? Why aren't any numbers listed here?
The suspect's attorney told police his client never had sex with Valerie. Yet an exam revealed "evidence of forced sexual penetration." Semen found on her underwear. Nurses took a rape kit- a collection of swabs and clothing that provide DNA evidence. The suspect provided a sample. But the DNA was never tested.
The DNA was never tested - why not? Why did the alleged suspect give a sample of his DNA in the first place? Why didn't his attorney argue it was an invasion of privacy? Why didn't the victim's attorney fight to have the DNA test performed? The answers to these questions are obvious - false accusations.
"Testing the kit is one way to affirm a victim's story," Tofte said, "and discredit the suspect's story."
Tofte is biased - could it not also be a way to discredit the victim's story and affirm the suspect's story? This is clearly a biased person. The man is guilty simply because a woman said so. She has no intention of conducting an unbiased investigation into the matter.
A five month CBS News Investigation has found a staggering number of rape kits -- that could contain incriminating DNA evidence -- have never been sent to crime labs for testing.
For good reason no doubt - false accusations. Why waste tax-payer money when the alleged victim recants her story. This is actually mentioned below. Pay attention!
At least 20,000 untested kits: 5,600 in Detroit. 3,800 in Houston. 5,100 in San Antonio, 1,100 in Albuquerque.
Rape Kit Data, by the Numbers
Many untested for years. And that's not all. At least twelve major American cities: Anchorage, Baltimore, Birmingham, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Oakland, Phoenix, San Diego said they have no idea how many of rape kits in storage are untested.
Yes, have no idea - that could mean zero. Honestly, this whole article is a fraud. Remember what you have already read, and pay attention. They actually say why most are not tested below.
CBS news then insults its audience with a pretty picture - it is misleading - I'll explain why after you view it:
1. In the beginning of the article, they clearly state that 90,000 women REPORTED being raped. Just because a woman REPORTS that she was raped, does not mean she was ACTUALLY RAPED. There is such a thing as FALSE ACCUSATIONS. Notice how the article just went from 90,000 REPORTED RAPES to 90,000 ACTUAL RAPES. All in just one picture.
2. 75,000 people don't report rapes? Funny, I thought it was ESTIMATED that 75,000 people don't report rapes. Notice that they went from an ESTIMATE to a FACT - in just one picture!
3. Arrest rate of 25% - this is inconclusive. Such a number could mean that 75% of the accusations were false. It could even mean that 90% of the accusations were false, and 15% of the men are now wrongfully imprisoned!
4. 89,000 rapes and 22,584 arrests? All the above points are valid. First, 89,000 rapes ALLEGEDLY occurred. That is, 89,000 women REPORTED they were raped. This does not mean that 89,000 women were ACTUALLY RAPED. Innocent until proven guilty - what a pain in the ass eh?
These numbers could be used to back up the points that MRA's make - that most REPORTED RAPES (i.e. the 90,000 number) are FALSE. This certainly would explain the low number of ACTUAL CONVICTIONS now wouldn't it?
Police departments told us rape kits don't get tested due to cost - up to $1,500 a kit --Really - which police departments? Just one - or all of them? Pay attention to the wording used here.
a decision not to prosecute,
Yeah the reason they do not prosecute is because the case is weak because:
and victims who recant or are unwilling to move forward with a case.
OH WOW - notice that even though the "victims" recant their story, they are still being called "victims" by the author of this article. If they recant their story - doesn't that mean they were LYING - and hence should be called "criminals" not "victims"???
Psychologist David Lisak from the University of Massachusetts has spent twenty years studying the minds of rapists.
"Somehow all we can do is take the statement from the victim. Take the statement from the alleged perpetrator and then throw up our hands because they are saying conflicting things," he said. "That's not how we investigate other crimes."
Sorry David Lisak - that is NOT how rape crimes are investigated either. If it is true that people simply throw their hands up - why is DNA collected - notice that David Lisak cleverly fails to mention this. Also note: David Lisak says "victim" and "alleged perpetrator" - he does not say "alleged victim". Clearly David Lisak is biased.
Valerie was told her rape kit wasn't tested because they didn't have the money. But when we caught up with Kenton County prosecutor, Rob Sanders, he told us something else.
Keteyian asked, "Why wasn't the rape kit tested in the Valerie Neumann case?"
"The results of the DNA test would not have made the case one way or another," Sanders said.
Gee, I wonder why that would be?
Sanders said his office made a "judgment call" the case was unwinnable in court -- claiming there were issues with Valerie's memory and the alcohol involved. A practice, says Lisak that often plays right into the hands of rapists.
Issues with Valerie's memory. So, she does not clearly "remember" if she was raped or not - that's convenient. I wonder if she tried to blackmail the poor guy first.
More about Non-Stranger Rapes from Psychologist David Lisak
"Predators look for vulnerable people and they prey on vulnerable people," Lisak said. And if, as a criminal justice system, we're going to essentially turn from any victim who was drinking or any victim who was in some way vulnerable - we're essentially giving a free pass to sexual predators."
Worried they were doing just that, CBS News has learned the Oakland California Police Department is now plowing through 489 untested rape kits from stranger rapes dating back six years, looking for evidence in what they believe to be "solvable cases."
Note: They do not mention here how many tested positive - probably a very small number.
The Los Angeles Police Department is testing a backlog of nearly 3,000 rape kits. LAPD's new Chief Charles Beck says efforts to reduce the backlog have "resulted in 405 hits" in the FBI DNA database.
Oh wow - out of 3000 kits, 405 hits! Lets do the math: 405/3000 = 13.5%. This means that 13.5% of the supposed "rapes" actually occurred. That is, the DNA from 86.5% of the supposed suspects did not match. Hmmm...
The other 86.5% did not occur. Hmmm - I wonder why not. After all, the women who accused the men of raping them - why on earth would they do that? Yet, the DNA did not match the man they accused of raping them - strange...
In New York City, prosecutors are even more aggressive - testing every rape kit, even in cases of acquaintance rape - over 1,300 last year alone.
Note: again, they do not mention how many tested positive - why not? Too embarassing? Would it discredit the claim of this entire article?
"You never know what you're going to find," said Mecki Prinz of the NY Medical Examiners Office.
Uh huh - I don't doubt it - like only 13.5% of the alleged rapists DNA actually being "positive"???
The results are stunning. Today New York City's arrest rate for rape is 70 percent - triple the national average.
Oh really - then why that 25% number in the pretty picture above?
Prinz says testing kits in acquaintance cases can tie suspects to other attacks, "We have lots of situations where a domestic situation or an acquaintance situation is actually an indication of the male involved responsible for other rapes," she said.
"we have lots" - how many exactly is that? No mention of actual numbers. Convenient isn't it?
"I feel like they didn't do their job to protect me and to protect everyone else," Valerie said. "I don't think it's something I'll ever forget. I don't think it's something you can forget."
Again, one woman's horror story does not constitute a major problem in society. If her story is even credible in the first place.
Remember the bit about her memory being in question?
Remember that the supposed "suspect" willingly gave his DNA - no mention of any fight or rebuttal from his attorney - why not?
Also, she told reporters that the DNA test would be too expensive - not that it wouldn't confirm her story - hmm. Too embarassing to have the truth revealed? Why did she tell reporters a different story than the prosecutors told reporters?
It does not surprise me that feminists site articles like this one to make points.
I am currently working on ways to debunk his whole "false-rape-accusations are myths" bit that he wrote on his blog.
I am laughing my a$$ off too - many of the articles - they site as references other articles - and those articles site as references the articles that sited them as references. It's called circle-jerking or mental masturbation.
Quite comical indeed - I was laughing so hard I was crying, and now my throat is sore because I was laughing so hard...
Ah - those crazy crazy feminazis...
