My daughter who is only 12years old got raped by a Navy soldier and I am beyond furious how disrespect the navy is to my daughter giving no support for her trauma, therapy, and the family around my baby has suffered tremendously and need help financially but they do nothing to help healing in anyway, also the 22 year old soilder is still not paying for what he did to my baby and the NCIS is not doing anything to push the case faster so the family can finally close that chapter of our life, after 7 months, sex rape kit, video confession, they are dilly-dalling about one of their man, unbecoming of him but all who pertecipate this long Navy Games! So unfair, I even wrote to the governer in state of Hawaii where we live and the US President, no HELP~!

Excellent point, Dennis! She should take responsibility for placing herself in a compromising position. I’ve put this comment in other blogspots too: one should not expect to be treated like Mother Teresa on a whim after acting like a tramp for hours on end. What’s a guy to do!!! Even a good psychic will not be able to read that signal… and to Women’s libbers out there: true empowerment lies not in the ability to garner support after putting oneself in a compromising situation like __________ * did but by avoiding said situations in the first place through self respect and common sense. There !!! Make that your logo…then maybe people will buy into your crap.

*Edit- I edited the name you placed here.

From my understanding of the whole rape case, “Nicole” was allegedly drunk when the supposed rape incident happened. All I can say is that she shouldn’t be drinking in the first place because every sane person knows that drinking clouds your judgment. Second, she shouldn’t have placed herself in that situation either. Drinking yourself to the point of passing out is just plain stupid. Yes, I said it…”Nicole” or whatever her name is, is STUPID. If you drink and pass out…and then get raped in the process, it is your own fault for putting yourself in that situation. She shouldn’t have drunk that much anyways. I don’t consider her a rape victim…she is a victim of her own stupidity for getting drunk. And now she wants sympathy? Excuse me?!?!

Oh by the way…if she was drunk…how can she, without any shadow of a doubt, accurately recall the events? I think she’s just trying to find someone to blame for her own stupidity rather than take responsibility for what happened to her.

I don’t support rape but I’m also not in favor of stupidity.

Cynthia, It was a pleasure exchanging opinions with you. If the likes of you and I ruled the world…I believe it would be a better place. Good luck on your exams.

Its nice to exchange ideas and opinions without even arguing. I totally agree that women should be in control of what they do, take responsiblity in every aspect of their life. BUt then lets face it, sometimes no matter how perfect you do things, no matter how you take care of your reputation and yourself, sadly not all things can go your way.

If she was really raped, she doesn’t need to make statements to warn people, her story is already a lesson. Doesn’t matter what the liberals say or what the others say too, as long as people learn from their own mistakes and totally believe in their own principles in life, I can respect them. You cannot please everyone, which we should be thankful honestly, just imagine how many gifts you have to give if everyone likes you (lame joke).
Hmm being judgemental, once in awhile everyone is like that. The actual challenge for people is to think beyond themselves, to put yourself in their shoes and see the other side of the fence.

The sentence of 40 years, harsh? For the others its just right, well for some its harsh I guess. According to the newspaper I’ve read, smith is guilty, all the evidence point to him. I also know, in every court hearings, there is one winner and one loser. So its not really new if someone cries foul at the end of the verdict. I know of one in Canada, well he was found guilty too. He was sentenced to 10 years only( he was guilty of raping girls below 15 and chopping their bodies, I think he killed like more than 10 girls). Well what do you think of the sentence?

Well anyway, I think both their lives are ruined, you cannot help it, its a public trial after all with all the media and politicians everywhere. But one rape case shouldn’t affect the Philippine-American relationship that much.

And now, have fun everyone because I have to study again for my exams. Good day!

Cynthia, I haven’t read anywhere that she even admitted some of it was her fault. All I know is that she was so relieved when the ruling came out…she can start rebuilding her life. She could have at least said, “to all you women out there, don’t do what I did ” or something to that effect. She even made a joke about not being denied a US visa …what was that! A young man’s life was just ruined here by an incident that they were both a part of no matter who was at fault and she’s making a joke about hopefully getting a US visa??!! It would be ironic if she ends up in St. Louis when she does. But ok, I digrese and attribute that to the fact that she’s dense. Then again, she has a college degree… she couldn’t be that thick.
I know, I’m too judgmental against women…I strongly believe that sometimes we put ourselves in negative situations by decisions that we totally have control over and then complain that we’ve been victimized. Totally not what Women’s libbers want to hear.
What I know of the law is,” the burden of proof lies with the accuser. Conviction of the accused is then decided when guilt is proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. “(You can tell I watch too much court TV.)
For me, there’s just too many holes with her side of the story. She was either too drunk or lucid enough at convenient instances to support her case. I hate the fact that she was treated badly after the act. All 4 of those guys should have paid for that. But I still don’t believe it was rape. 40 years is too harsh a rule for behaving badly. But that’s just my humbe opinion, the judge in this case decided otherwise.
I’m not a FAN of Daniel Smith either, if he was my brother, I’d beat the C*** out of him for putting himself in this situation. I do support him. I think he’s being treated unfairly and he’s being used as a political pawn by factions out there that hate America.

Man everybody knows she’s stupid and I’m quite sure she has told herself that so many times. Thats why she got raped in the first place, for being too dumb to get inside that van. And yes you are right, irresponsible behavior does not end well, I mean RESPONSIBLE AND SMART behavior do not even always end well. She doesn’t know what the heck is contingency plan .. because like i said.. she’s slow.

Its not as if she’s denying that she wasn’t at fault. But she cannot take responsibility for rape either. Since she was the one raped not the other way around, if thats the truth. What do you want her to do? Not file charges because she was a tease?

So even if she was responsible for being stupid, drunk and promiscuous half the time she was with Daniel Smith, it doesn’t follow that she should be responsible for her own rape either. She’s guilty of being dense, unintelligent and even slow-witted but can never be responsible for her own rape.

Even when you move around rubbing your butt on some guy’s crotch, that doesn’t give a man the right to rape you when you say No to sex or even too drunk to say No.

Issue is not about a woman’s character, intelligence and even a woman’s sexual experience. Its about rape. It can happen.

By the way I’m not a fan of Daniel or even Nicole.

Okay now…I was just gonna read comments here and not add my 2 cents like I’ve been doing in every blogspot I can find on this issue. Okay, I support Daniel Smith, the american. Having said that, I don’t support him because he’s cute or because he’s white. I’ve lived stateside for 20 some years …his appearance is a dime a dozen out here. Nor do I support him because I’m an american now.
I examine Nicole’s argument, even putting myself in her shoes…and I have gone out with friends, gotten so innebreated I was stuporous. When I went to bars, of course I knew I’d meet men. I also know that actions speak a lot and if by chance my actions are contrary to what I want them to be because of alcohol, I make sure I have a friend to take care of me. So, yes, in good conscience…I can judge Nicole. It all started when she took her first drink…without a contingency plan. Yes. A contingency plan…every smart girl knows what I’m talking about. Irresponsible behavior does not end well and should not be rewarded. If she was raped as she alleges…it would really help her heal if she comes out and take responsibility for her part in this fiasco. It will be so much easier to look at herself in the mirror and it will take a load off her chest. But I’m sure all these political groups using her will never let that happen…poor girl.
