The second cleat has dropped, and District Attorney Fred Bright will not pursue charges in the rape case involving Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

The justice system, of America and of the NFL, is supposed to teach people lessons. If that’s the case, here is what I learned from this ordeal:

It’s not rape if the accuser was drinking.

We don’t yet know the details of the accuser’s drinking that night. Nor do we know the specifics of Roethlisberger’s drinking. We may learn some of these details at the news conference on Monday. But we do know that, generally, prosecutors are reluctant to file charges in cases such as this one when the accuser has been drinking.

So, you’re telling me that I can run around all higgledy-piggledy having my way with intoxicated women and I won’t face any consequences? (In the immortal words of Dave Chappelle) Kobe!

Drunk rape victims don’t have any rights, but their word is bond.
With both involved parties conceding intoxication, another reason the case was thrown out was because of the veracity of the accuser’s testimony. Her statement did not corroborate with her friends’ and/or Ben’s. As the district attorney, I know you’ve spent years in educational institutions, thus, many-a-night at parties. So, you know full well how nocturnal activities can be changed, forgotten, omitted and/or embellished after a night of libations, right? Right? You also know that your experience and recollection don’t always align with those at the same gatherings, right? Maybe it’s just me.

Justice may be blind, but she is as racist as Clayton Bigsby.
Gilbert Arena brandished a weapon with as many bullets as his jersey number…

…yet, he served a couple days in prison and was sent to a halfway house for a month. Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger has as many rape raps as Super Bowl rings and is free than a muthaf*cka, smellin’ like college girls’ booty holes (if that last sentence offended you, it was just adaptation of a Katt Williams joke).

The justice system is supposed to be “fair and balanced,” but I guess they are using the FoxNews definition of the term. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell still has a chance to instill his own form of justice into these shenanigans (he has a meeting with the quarterback this week), but I doubt the punishment levied will slake my anger.

Am I off base with my thinking? Am I looking at this completely wrong? What are your feelings on this crap situation?
