Meh, she was probably facing the wrong direction, or maybe in a different room depending on the hotel. It wouldn't be SMART to turn her back on him, but when the adrenaline starts flowing people do dumb things.
None of those are conclusive and none of them prove guilt. They IMPLY that the man is a thief, but there's no proof that he even initiated the violence. There's nothing here that I can see for the police to work with.
Are you sure? Perhaps the police didn't give a damn because since she stopped the rape before it happened they knew there wouldn't be enough evidence to get a conviction. It IS a he-said, she-said situation with no conclusive evidence beyond "Both people got injured", which isn't (and shouldn't be) nearly enough for a rape conviction.
I never understood why people think it is not about power. What is this, the 1950s? If it was about sex then they'd ask first, they'd try some romance, maybe be nice to the person.
What if they're a socially awkward neckbeard who's been shot down so many times he's given up on legitimately losing his virginity?
Do you really think all the rape that happens in prisons is because prisons are full of homosexuals, contrary to the normal demographics? No, it's about asserting dominance there.
The problem with this example is that you've got men, many of whom have been trained to have difficulty tolerating life without sex, packed into an area where there's no available women. Homosexual acts are a logical result whether there's dominance at play or not.
I'm not going to argue that it's not about power sometimes, or even most of the time, but desire for power and desire for sex are not mutually exclusive.
Don't forget, on even days your rights are void unless you stick your index finger up your butt and hop backwards in a clockwise ciorcle. On odd days, your rights are void unless you stand on a stool with knees bent and cluck like a chicken while patting your head
I guess it's a good thing that I do both of those every morning then!
Yeah. What gets me is that the jury isn't allowed to ask questions as far as I can see. I'm not certain why that wouldn't be allowed, but I never see it happening and it seems like a MASSIVE restriction to me.
But you don't know whether or not they have evidence that you might have. Even weak evidence can be spun into a convincing story if you give them any extra rope to hang you with.
My thought on that is that if there is an incident in progress the police should have the ability to require you to stay put as a witness or as a safety measure, but if there's no incident in progress the police have no right to require you to stay put unless you are under arrest.
IANAL and this is my thought on how it SHOULD be, I recognize that the cops will do whatever the hell they want and justify it later (if they even bother).
Meh. It's cheaper than a PS3. Adjusted for inflation it's cheaper than an Xbox 360 would have been at launch with Kinect. The only real issue with the price IMO is what you get in comparison to the PS4.
Does it seem dumb to anyone else that they're releasing it in Q4 2013 but they aren't porting it to PS4? I mean I know racing games aren't as sexy or important as most other genres, but there ARE strong fans and it doesn't make much sense to not even have a port planned.

Oh boy, you're in for a shitstorm. Being right about something like this is NOT a healthy place to be.

I was referring to grammar in the 2A.
I'd love to see the legal justification for why juries can't ask questions.

Zealots like yourself overlook grammar.

"Well the fact that he refused to identify himself made me suspicious..."
I think pretty much every country is moving towards "Security" over all else, it's a question of how fast.
Butbutbut the spirit of the 2A was CLEARLY for hunting!

I'm curious, is there a correlation between genetic sex and the ultimate gender identities of intersex people?
According to previous posters this has been in the works for a while and publically discussed.
We're busy working on a reason to drop "freedom gifts" on Iran and Syria.
You most certainly can use apps you purchased on WP7 on a WP8 phone. The only limitation is that the app developer has to certify that it works on 8.
Given the value-add that the Kinect hackers were for MS I would be very surprised if they have the Kinect itself any more locked down.

Since the PS4 doesn't have a Kinect the game will most likely come with the option to do it the traditional way.

Because it's mostly hardcore Nintendo fanboys buying their systems these days most likely.
