The Feel-Good Story of the Year

Remember that movie where a Florida woman is brutally raped, survives the attack, calls 911 and the cops, instead of focusing on capturing a rapist, arrest her for an outstanding warrant that boils down to a paperwork glitch? Wait, that’s not a movie. That’s real life.

Police took her to the hospital and began a routine rape investigation… [and] discovered she had an arrest warrant out [from when the woman was a juvenile].

[H]er attorney says it appears to be a paperwork error.

Still, the woman was put in handcuffs and taken to jail. She was not allowed bond, and the medical staff at the jail refused to give her the Morning After Pill even though it had been prescribed at the hospital [because it was against the administrator's religion].

“So, here we have a medical supervisor imposing her beliefs on a rape victim,” claimed the victim’s attorney Virlyn Moore. “As a human being, how someone could be so violated by this monster and then the system comes along and rapes her again psychologically and emotionally – it’s outrageous and unconscionable.”

I should have been shocked by this story, but then I remembered we’re talking about Florida. This is the same state in which the highway patrol will pull a guy over, rape him, and then shoot him for “being gay.” I heard state troopers are working on a time machine they can use to make Hitler molest your family pet. They say necessity is “the mother of invention,” but southern hospitality is “the father of rape-related time travel.”
