Artful Dodger: Nope. I'd swear about this on a stack of Bibles. Many others who saw this would also be able to truthfully swear to such. I remember you thought all LDS were really, really hell bound. Or was that just you using religion?

"that rapes occured in the Occupy Wall Street camps."

Rapes happen in Texas. By your logic.. it is fair to say the rapists were Texans... Nothing about them being men, or unstable, drunk, on drugs, abused.

.. Just that they were Texans.

"And the leadership of the Occupy camps tried to cover up the crimes by "handling them internally.""

Some people after being attacked don't want the police involved. This is a fact.

"that they had to have a woman's only section (as well as a gay and lesbian sections) for the safety of others."

So they choose to protect the women, and the gay and lesbians from gay and lesbian haters... you are complaining about this?

"Only liberal thinkers like you would try to soft pedal the rapes."

I'm not. To say so is just petty fogging. You made a false statement based on one certain fraction of an equation, there were rapists and abusers and anti gay folk who 'blended' in and raped/attacked people at the OWS camps.

Just as their have been cases of rapes, sodomy, incest and abuse in Christian Churches by Christians... but that they were Christians is insignificant except to maybe explain how they may have gotten away with such activities. Especially as many within the Christian church covered up such matters and dealt with them internally..

.. some targeted groups even slept in separate areas to others as a matter of safety!!
