Comment on: Why are crime victims being jailed?
It's not reasonable for the police to come to me looking for a witness. That's all I'm saying. If that leads to gang members getting away with crime, so be it. Putting a material witness in jail is only more injustice. Somehow this is justified in the eyes of the law, yet in the eyes of humanity, no US jail can be justified. You can't make a right with two wrongs, but no one told the US "justice" system. "Yeah, let's put those rape victims in jail for not testifying. Fuck them. How dare they not testify?"
