The alleged victim says three men took her into the bathroom where thy brutally raped and choked her. She says she tried hard to fight them off.
Questions:
Have you and someone else ever helped a cooperative elderly or very ill person into a bathroom to shower?
Didn’t you have to be extremely careful and move very slowly lest you accidentally injure the person or yourselves by hitting one of the hard, angular, and large objects found within a bathroom, particularly a smallish one?
In order to avoid serious injury to any of you, didn’t you carefully plan and coordinate with the person and your helper every move you all made within the bathroom?
Nonetheless, all the while you knew the smallest accidental slip or bump could result in injury, didn’t you?
Did you think about getting a third person to help?
Did you reject that idea because a third person would’ve made things too crowded and harder for everyone to maneuver safely around the shower/tub, toilet, sink, medicine cabinet and towel rack?
Have you ever been asked to help a person who would resist a shower, say an Alzheimers patient with paranoid ideation?
Did you try to help; or did you reject the idea as simply too dangerous to the person and everyone else involved?
Did you think instead of a bedroom where you could give the person a sponge bath?
That would make a lot more sense, wouldn’t it?
The papers report the house at 610 North Buchanan Blvd. has three bedrooms.

Hi John - Let's talk about sense.
Does this make sense?
The captains of a lacrosse team, hosting a party, call strippers. Within minutes of arrival two sophomores (neither of whom had yet to start a game) take a stripper into a bathroom for their own enjoyment, leaving the captains, starters, hosts - what? Watching cartoons?
Things don't work that way. Nifong should be prosecuted himself.
Anon-
Good point.
Also note that NONE of the other people at the party seemed to have noticed that the only bathroom was out of service for half an hour.
Or that a battered, upset, raped, bruised stripper staggered by them on her way out.
Yeah, it could happen.

One other question, have you ever had consensual sex in a bathroom? It requires some contortions for two people, cooperating, in all the bathrooms in all the houses or apartments we have ever lived in.
To actually have sex with a non-cooperative partner would be next to impossible in my opinion.
Anonymous, AC and Tim,
Thank you for your comments. There's not a word in them with which I don't agree.
Interesting that MSM doesn't seem to see any point in raising the matter although my local paper, The N&O, sure thought it was very important to tell readers one of the lacrosse players had been cited for having a open beer.
Thanks again.
John
