Rape Logic


"Mr. Anderson, you allege that on the night of 14 December 2010, the defendant robbed you on the corner of 24th St. and Broadway Ave. Am I correct in this?"

"Yes. He robbed me. Took my wallet."

"He took your wallet, Mr. Anderson? You mean, surely, that he tore your pants off and physically removed your wallet with his own hands?"

"Well no, it wasn't quite like that..."

"Well what was it like, Mr. Anderson?"

"He told me to give him his wallet and threatened me."

"And did you hand over your wallet, Mr. Anderson?"

"Well... well yes I did."

"So you willingly removed your own wallet and transferred possession of said wallet to the defendant?"

"No, he robbed me! He said he had a gun!"

"Did he, Mr. Anderson? Did he really say that?"

"Yes!"

"My client denies any such thing. What do you have to say?"

"He said he had a gun, and to give him his wallet."

"And did the defendant touch or harm you in any way?"

"Well... no... nothing happened like that... I was afraid!"

"Did you tell him that?"

"What? No! What kind of question is that?"

"So here we are left to believe only your word, Mr. Anderson? Your word that you freely handed over your wallet to the defendant, with no signs of violence, no evidence of any untoward actions, and yet you insist on wasting our time with this?"

"I was robbed!"

"That is precisely the issue under question, Mr. Anderson. Simply repeating yourself doesn't help. Mr. Anderson... were you drinking on the night of 14 December 2010?"

"Well yes... I was coming home from a pub I was at with my friends."

"Really, Mr. Anderson. How much did you drink?"

"Well I don't know really... a few beers, a couple shots... there was a birthday..."

"Ah, so it would be safe to say that you were suffering from, let us say, impaired faculties?"

"I know what happened to me!"

"Do you, Mr. Anderson? I can have an expert testify before the court that even moderate alcohol consumption greatly affects memory."

"This is insane!"

"No, Mr. Anderson, this is Conservative Court."

This must mean I've got -55 cool points now.

Not really. It takes 5 hours to reach Burgas from Sofia and 4 from Ruse to Edirne (http://stzagora.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Nova-Zagora-main-crossroad-in-Bulgaria.jpg).

Yep, once while I was traveling on the train I spent most of the time walking in the corridor because all the seats were occupied.

5 hours and a half, man. Including the stops at the stations. And it was damn hot inside. But meh, what wouldn't we sacrifice to go to the seaside?

I work there most of my time now. The sea is MEH.

At least 560 km from here to the closest beach. YEAH but I'm going to Durbs in the weekend. HA!

Trust me, there is a world of difference between your sea and his ocean (do you even have waves? (I mean other than during a storm, I don't like storm surf, especially at my age ;) )

Waves are overrated. (OK we do have some tiny waves, like 1 foot high sometimes lol).

Over rated??? no other reason to go into the water :D

Nova Zagora seems to be a very important... er, village.

[identity profile] htpcl.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
It's the center of the universe! (For N.Zagorans anyway).

I don't think that is the case anymore; I believe they nerfed the Ultrarisk a little bit.
