Heroines of the week Hannah Bridgeman-Oxley and Karri Cormican, the two bar workers who not only caught a guy slipping drugs into his date's drink--twice!--but were smart enough to swap out the first drink before the intended victim had touched it, follow her when she stepped out for a smoke to warn her, and keep the two drinks for the police to examine, thereby not only saving a woman from date rape but also ensuring that the failed rapist would be convicted.
Which he was this week.
This is how people can prevent rape; not by leaving the short skirts in the closet, but by intervening when something looks funny. It doesn't have to be drugs in a drink. It can just be a woman who's drunk at a party, a guy who's pushing drinks on a girl, or a situation where someone looks uncomfortable while someone else horns in on their personal space or doesn't take no for an answer. And you don't have to make a federal case out of it, either--just intervene with some excuse or other, and then check with the person in private, or call her a cab.
As Cormican (above right) says,
It's just the kind of place where everybody looks out for everybody. . . . I mean, people look out for me. I hope..... I applaud these young women its great for once to see female bonding and looking out for their sister goddess instead of the usual cat fighting and jealousy. I jest felt so good reading this I felt it needed posting.
Just recently (a couple of weeks ago) I read in the papers that there is no evidence that 'date rape drugs' have actually ever been used in this country (the U.K.). Apparently it's all down to excessive alcohol consumption.
So listen to this ladies, they all made it up, right? And deep down you know it's ALL YOUR FAULT for getting so wasted.
