She probably was wearing something that was just yelling "Rape me!".

Wha? How does this happen right near Pike Place in daylight on a Saturday? Wouldn't there be crowds in the immediate vicinity?

Until the mayor and city council get their heads out of their asses and start focusing on real issues rather than plastic bags and lightbulbs, this shit is going to continue.

Friends say the victim is doing better physically, but, it still very emotionally fragile from the attack. The victim was only able to provide a vague description of her attacker to police. Officers say he is an African American man.

Of course they do. Not I. I am most certain this foul one is of the White Devil decent. Why not think otherwise? I will not let this sort of thing pass in silence. I will state it so that at least it's out there. And what it if it's true? How can you prove it's not the White Devil? I'm fucked up because I don't wholly accept the blatantly racist picture painted by Seattle cops? Fuck that.

You know she was asking for it.

Are they sure he was black and not some random pit bull?

Hey look, I'm the last person to not take rape accusations seriously, but the story is pretty thin and sounds a bit off. Very few rapes last for hours. Unconsciousness doesn't usually last for hours, and if it did she wouldn't be doing well physically. If the story is unclear and she wasn't unconscious for hours, then she would most likely have a better description of her attacker. I'll hold off being too scared to walk through downtown alleys for now, until more detail emerge on this.

@ Cato the Younger, Younger -

Your first comment was perhaps supposed to be "humor;" (or at least the usual snark we would expect) repeating just makes you look like an ass.

Try to come up with something useful to say.

@9, But you did not post anything useful...

I find aspects of this story implausible as well. I would like to know hwhere exactly she was. If she was within a few yards of hundreds of people why did she not ask for help when she came to? How does someone who has been unconcious from a beating for hours get herself back to north Seattle alone? Why go home instead of a hospital?Did she drive, take a bus or taxi? How could someone that injured drive? If she was really raped I feel very sorry for her but something is very fishy here.

the alley between 1st & 2nd north of stewart?

Yeah, where exactly was this? I don't know every alley and doorway over there, but it's hard for me to imagine a place near Pike Place market where this could go on for hours without someone noticing, especially on a Saturday afternoon.

I'm so fucking sick of the police in Seattle doing nothing but handing out parking tickets, making sure that people don't drink near their children (in bars or beer gardens) and helping out in the war in drugs. How is this mayor still in office when absolutely nothing seems to be going right here?

Of course officers say the suspect is African American, the bunch of racists. Did they even see the crime being perpetrated? Were there any witnesses?

If there were witnesses at all, to the mugging or the rape, why didn't anyone say or do somnething during the THREE FUCKING HOURS that the suspect used her as a sex toy?

Something isn't adding up. At best, the cops are full of shit. But if they actually have a witnessed read on a suspect, then a lot of citizens failed this woman.

I was just going to say... as crude as it is to say... that suspect must have some serious staying power if he can lay the wood to an unconscious woman for three hours.
