Mystery r*pes in Mennonite colony solved (mostly)

Quote:
F or a while, the residents of Manitoba Colony thought demons were r*ping the town’s women. There was no other explanation. No way of explaining how a woman could wake up with blood and semen stains smeared across her sheets and no memory of the previous night. No way of explaining how another went to sleep clothed, only to wake up naked and covered by dirty fingerprints all over her body. No way to understand how another could dream of a man forcing himself onto her in a field—and then wake up the next morning with grass in her hair.

-----

Then, one night in June 2009, two men were caught trying to enter a neighbor’s home. The two ratted out a few friends and, falling like a house of cards, a group of nine Manitoba men, ages 19 to 43, eventually confessed that they had been r*ping Colony families since 2005. To incapacitate their victims and any possible witnesses, the men used a spray created by a veterinarian from a neighboring Mennonite community that he had adapted from a chemical used to anesthetize cows. According to their initial confessions (which they later recanted), the r*pists admitted to—sometimes in groups, sometimes alone—hiding outside bedroom windows at night, spraying the substance through the screens to drug entire families, and then crawling inside.
This might be old news, but the article was just published on Vice a month ago. Anyway, how the hell did I not hear about this before? Talk about fucking grotesque. Read the whole thing; it's intense.

Yeah, I remember posting about this a while ago. Fucking shocking.
At first I thought it was a hoax because it was so extreme - but it checked out with reputable sources.

Christ, after reading an article about it and how the Mennonites are, all I can think is:



This article about it is a hard read:

Ugh. This kind of stuff makes me feel physically ill. That people would go to those lengths to do that kind of thing to women.
It just... I can't even.
Speaking as a survivor, it shouldn't surprise me that people are capable of this kind of shit. But it does. And it seems that those types of men are sinking to all new lows to achieve that kind of power over women, and their supporters are so quick to blame the victim.
Pardon me while I go throw up.

They did not only go after women. Men were attacked as well, but only a few spoke up about it and I'm willing to be that they were not the only ones.

And children. A three year old was among the victims.

(^Thankfully it was a 'lesser' assault in physical terms, but still...)


Couldn't they even have a goddamn neighbourhood watch? The response to this is so half assed, and the ones that kept going after the arrests are probably doing it because they know they can.

They got away with it because that's just the world we live in. Even if you do tell someone, no one fucking believes you, and instead lay blame on you, the victim, and make it out to be your fault somehow. Such is patriarchy and blatant misogyny.

Sorry for the rant. This is a subject which really grinds my gears....
