I have the stage this Saturday night!  Wish it was on Saturday Night Live… but a girl can dream…
But I will be on stage with my girlfriends (and fellow fighters)
for those of you who are in or near the Los Angeles area,
I will be a part of PAVE’s kick off event for their
LA chapter this Sat and I have the stage for a comedy or talking
set so who knows what I’ll do or say…

PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment was founded by
Angela Rose, who was kidnapped in broad daylight from a shopping
mall at the age of seventeen by a repeat sex offender
who was on parole for murder.

You may have seen a lot on the news about this horrible case
in Nebraska where the rape victim was ordered by the judge not
to use the words rape, sexual assault, sexual assault kit, or
sexual assault nurse examiner! Wendy Murphy took the case
and PAVE organized the campaign where people across the country
showed up at their local court houses with their mouths covered!

Two women with a whole bunch of energy and big mouths just partnered - now watch what happens!

OK, I hear about real cases of child sexual abuse, rape and violence every single day. And then I hear about actual bullshit cases.  People really do come up with actual bull.

I heard one case about a mother with a seventeen year old kid who was home late and when she interrogated him he admitted to being with his girlfriend (whom the mother hated) at the park.  When the mother probed further it turns out that the guy had gotten a blowjob in the park (who wouldn’t stay late for that) and his mother freaked.  Because the girl was nighteen, the mother pressed charges and the girl was charged and convicted for sucking the cock of her boyfriend in a park at night - and is not on the sex offender registry.
There are wack people who, for whatever reason, make crap up. They yell rape when the guy doesn’t call, they throw down a lawsuit when she has a new boyfriend, they accuse somebody of hitting them because they are trying to shake them down for money.  They have such issues that they have not dealt with and instead of dealing with them and being a balanced human, they attack and to attack legally for false reports or fabricated or blown up bullshit - is such an asshole move. It is bullshit.  Give me a break.

These cases take time, energy and resources - all while prepubescent children are being raped, tortured, video taped, recorded and sold. All while there really are people being drugged, raped, sexually assaulted, tortured - you pick a word - but of course you can’t say any of them in Nebraska! (more on that later)
Is that just too much to handle?  Is that too much to think about?  And here’s the real kicker - the perps and those protecting the perps climb right up on top of those false reports and then say that the children are making false reports too, or they accuse the mother of bringing up child abuse because it is a custody battle in family court and she just wants custody - all while the children beg not to have to be alone with their father mind you.  But they are able to say that the child is making it up and the mother is crazy (and get full custody awarded so they can continue raping and selling the kids) because of the jerks out their who make false reports.  So those out there who are trying to make a buck, or make scene, or throwing a lawsuit at someone to be vindictive or harmful because you really just need a hug and a lot of help blah blah blah - I put them in the same category as the child rapists - they are screwing kids.
