I agree with "just me". All of the news and gossip have made this worse for her. With it being on the news, people who don't even know her, or our community, are judging what kind of school we are and what type of student body we have here. It shouldn't have to be on the news or in the papers. It concerns us and raises questions about our safety, therefore it is up to us to make better decisions and work with the school on making improvements. That's why as a campus we need to move on so it isn't a constant reminder for her. It's not because we're not concerned. We're not heartless. We as students need to be more careful and take precautions. The seminar we had hopefully opened the eyes to some of those who maybe weren't as safe as they could be. With the renovations on campus things are getting better, but no matter what the school does, there will always be someone who isn't completely happy with the way things are.
You seem to be suffering from "head-up-the-a$$-syndrome ." How vile that you have to little regard for the health and well-being of a fellow student that you'd just want to move on, "for her own good," of course. I'm sure if it were you who were brutalized (or one of your friends, or maybe your sister), you'd not be happy to have things just "move on." Why is it that these 2 athletes are still roaming the halls, while the victim had to leave school or face them on a daily basis? Where is her justice? And how will you feel when these boys are found guilty, and you look back at your comments that are so blase and uncaring? Will it be important to you then?

I am very active in several organizations on campus including student government. I was asked a question and I answered it. I'm tired of trying to explain what I said to people who don't know anything about our campus. And to the ones who say they are parents of students or are former students, I'm sorry if you may not agree with the things another student and I said. No one knows what happens on this campus except for the people who live here. And if we said things are going to be ok and that we will learn from this situation as a community, then that's what we'll do. It's how this campus works. As for the personal insults and snide remarks you all have made... Maybe you should take a step back and realize that maybe this did happen to me. Maybe I have been a victim. Instead of bashing people for their opinions, stop and think about what might have happened to give them those opinions. If you want to say that I'm "not human" and "have no heart" then maybe you should think about yourself and see that you are doing exactly you accuse me of. A lack of desire to understand others is exactly why our world is like it is. Open your eyes and try to understand where people like "Mr. Cates" and I are coming from and maybe you'll see a different picture.

I think perhaps you should go back and re-read your posts and really think about what you've said. If you really are a survivor (as that's what you would be if it had happened to you and you lived to tell about it), then you seem to be in serious denial about the effects on a young woman's life. Please try and think about how she must feel to read such flipant comments from someone...put yourself in her shoes and really think about what you've said. Or better yet, go to the Knoxville forums and read up on the rape and torture Channon Christian endured. Then come back here and talk about "innocent until proven guilty" and letting things "blow over."

And now throw in what happened to you.Look,wanting to help is one thing.But to relish in your painful past is another.Before you start on me...I've seen babies blown to bits,women who's skulls split in half,grown men disembowled,and other things I wished not to speak of.Im glad you want to see justice for Channon and Chris(I want that too)But you are on borderline of insanity.Everytime someone disgrees with you,you put their names in it.Sorry,Im tired and I got to pull 3 shifts of 12 hours or more dealing with the sick and their families.Always before lashing out with others,put yourself in their shoes or others that are involved in a situation.

LOL...glad I didn't see this 'til you'd apologized for the other posts on the BH site. I don't relish in any painful past. I've had a few things that have happened in my past that weren't pleasant (who hasn't?), but I've chosen to move on with my life and put that behind me. I fall victim to no one. I put the two b*stards away that hurt me, when no one thought I could or would. I don't see myself as a victim in any capacity, but I do want to help others get past similar situations. As you know, that's not possible without letting them know I can to related to what they've been through. Otherwise, in their eyes I'm just another person who "doesn't have a clue about their pain," and people that have that thought process aren't about to let you try and help them.

"Immediately following this violent, senseless and cowardly act on this campus, she alerted LMU/DeBUSK professors." Immediately to most of us means..ASAP or within a short amount of time. To me it does not mean 12 or 13 hours later.
When she got back from rape kit, at that time she choose to stay in her room and sleep in her own bed.
"I wonder how many mothers or fathers could remain calm as their daughter?s gang-rapist was allowed to walk past them?" He NEVER walked past them, he went out the back as they came in the front.
I have heard rumors about a video that was taken during the 'alleged' rape. No mention of that.
These are to name only a few things.
I know those that she mentioned as uncaring and you would think that she would understand that more than likely they were told not to talk, not to reach out. Has she called them?
Why did the DA say they could go back to school and class?
BY having the web site is she not impeding work still being done? You would think that her husband..."My husband was a lawyer for 27 years." would understand and not condone the website.
Did the rape happen? That is not for me to pass judgement UNTIL all the correct facts have come out.

Your post makes no sense whatsoever. What, exactly, is it that you're trying to say??

I was giving you examples of some of the things from the website that were not true those are in "". For exaple: "Immediately following this violent, senseless and cowardly act on this campus, she alerted LMU/DeBUSK professors." Is not true. She WAITED 12 or 13 hours AFTER. "I wonder how many mothers or fathers could remain calm as their daughter?s gang-rapist was allowed to walk past them?" NOT True. He NEVER walked past them, he went out the back as they came in the front.

First of all, why don't you learn to spell? Secondly, it's not a racist issue at all to want to see the men who abused your daughter brought to justice. It doesn't matter if they're black, white, red, or purple. They need to be dealt with swiftly and surely.

LMU students need to stop blaming DCOM for all their ills. DCOM may be the only reason LMU still exists at all.

You must be smoking that from which your name is taken, or you are a DCOMer. What does DCOM have to do with anything in this thread? But since you brought it up, DCOM is sucking up every bit of the energy and resources at LMU. And students are not the only ones who are well aware of this. By the way, hope you really like sham medical "treatment" and its practitioners, because there's a very nasty link between the head of DCOM and the Scientologists. Check out some of the other posts on DCOM and Stowers.

"Jungle fever?" "white trailer park trash?" Both of these sound like racist terms to me. I wasn't there in this young woman's room when this happened. Were you? I think not, unless you are one of the alleged rapists. So back atcha on the "moron" label.

You obviously have issues that you need to deal with, which are completely unrelated to DCOM. This post was very rude and unjustified. Unless you have personal experience with the head of DCOM, you shouldn't be slandering other people's name. Why don't you take a look at this article. As much as you obviously hate the existence of a medical school in this area, it is bringing money into the local economy which would have gone elsewhere had DCOM not developed.

Helloooo moron can year hear me? They don't need to be dealt with because they didn't rape anyone. Have you heard the saying "you can't rape the willing?" Somebody had what they call the jungle fever. Can you say white trailer park trash? And where is momma now that she has been called out? Hiding behind her daughter's "STAINED" skirt?
Where do you get this crap? You've just proven you're either one of the perps, or their loved ones. Either way, you should seek help before it's too late. Jungle fever...LOL...what an ignorant figment of your imagination.

>>What does DCOM have to do with anything in this thread? <<

Had you read the entire thread, as I did, a lot of it is the same tired crap (like the crap you are propagating) about how the university is being drained by Pete and DCOM and DO's are quacks, blah blah blah. Well, BS.

What's it to you anyway? You obviously never got past the second grade.

Here's some "BS" for you. If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck....

What is Scientology?
Based on the Works of L. Ron Hubbard
FUTURE PREDICTION OF SCIENTOLOGY

I have seen firsthand the work the Church has done to forward social betterment through its support of ABLE International and the Narconon drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs.

In my eight years as Medical Director for Narconon’s treatment center in Oklahoma, I have witnessed the strong dedication and commitment from ABLE and Narconon in addressing substance abuse, one of society’s most damaging and widespread problems.

This in itself will make its mark as more and more people overcome addiction through the application of L. Ron Hubbard’s discoveries in the treatment of chemical dependency.

Dr. Ray E. Stowers, DO
Board Certified in Addiction Medicine

I have an update on this incident. You notice there hasn't been much mentioned lately. That's because the mother and daughter have been proven to be liars. It has been reported that the young lady consented to this sexual act. I hope the two young men persue a lawsuit against this obvious racist mother.

I don't know if they are or not, but if I was the family I would go after the establishment who served my underage child beer. As we all know, alcohol tends to cloud judgement.
