  • "Nobody has blamed drink or drugs for what happened? Are you reading the same comments that you've quoted? The only mention of drink that was made was it's as specially dangerous after having a few drinks with friends. Or people should save some money for a taxi home if they've been in town drinking. Nowhere does it say that she'd been drinking or taking drugs. It's actually safety advice should people go out drinking and placing themselves in an even more vunrable position it's best to get a taxi or stick to well lit streets not unlit rec land. If you think that's bad advise please tell us which parts that people should do? Maybe they should walk down unlit alley way's? It's quite unbelievable that someone is attempting to pick apart advise that the public have jointly put together on how lone females and males should keep themselves safe of a night whether they've had drinks or even drugs (though nowhere has anybody mentioned the later so it maybe you that's been taking drugs to think you've seen somebody comment about people being twisted and walking home)
    Personally i think the advice given by the previous people were very good and i also added my own. However i didn't notice any safety advice given in your comment just accusations people said they young lady HAD been drinking or HAD been taking drugs. To be honest it doesn't even matter if she had in my eyes still doesn't mean she deserved to be sexually assaulted really does it?"
