And now, today's moment of unspeakable evil


It is truly horrifying to read that when a victim hands over a rape kit, the cops may use the victim's DNA as evidence against her for crimes that she allegedly committed.

That is breathtaking. To get justice in America, you have to incriminate yourself.

And then law enforcement people wonder why they get no respect.

Dear God, how did we get here? And is that the practice here in Oregon?

      No. For the one murder that maybe you solve, you enable thousands of rapes. It's bad enough when the rape kits sit around unprocessed. To weaponize them against the victim is horrendous policy.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
