I just viewed a video of a woman who stopped Senator Jeff Flake as he moved through a Capital hallway toward the committee meeting to vote on Kavanaugh’s Appointment to the Supreme Court. The woman told Flake she’d been sexually assaulted in the past and didn’t report the crime at the time. This phenomenon is not uncommon for a variety of personal reasons.
She claimed Flake, who has announced he will vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s appointment, was ignoring what happened to her and other women by voting in favor.
For those of you who agree with her, you must be fair. If I were to claim you beat the hell out of me 35 years ago, but had no evidence other than my accusation, you must be willing to be punished. Agreeing with this woman, you must believe that it is right, fair and correct you be considered guilty and held responsible because some people beat the hell out of other people.
This is the problem with the “pile-on-top”, mob mentality certain social movements create.
