Updated ... Per a reader:
Details are still a little sketchy but word is that a woman, possibly passed out on the street, was sexually assaulted early this morning. Someone walked out of their building, saw it happening, and called the NYPD. They arrived fairly quickly and apparently the suspect was caught. The health of the victim is unknown.

ReplyDeleteDon't these women have friends? Who leaves their inebriated friend alone to pass out on the streets of New York City. And what kind of subhuman derelict assaults a passed out chick? Thankfully someone had the good sense to say something.
ReplyDelete"Don't these women have friends?" What an impossibly stupid question. This woman was choked until she passed out. Even if she was drunk and passed out .. or passed out for any other reason .. This question has not a thing to do with the reality of this situation. Perhaps she doesn't have friends. Should she stay at home on the internet until she does?
