So here is a story that kind of has an okay ending, except all the parts that will make you want to skip your afternoon munchies because everything is terrible. A homeless woman in Columbus, Ohio, was brutally raped last spring, and she decided to do something to make sure the bastard who did it didn't get to walk away from his crimes unscathed. So she just made sure, hell or high water, that she'd be there in court to face him down, even if it meant she had to walk eight miles to the courthouse to attend his court hearings. Which is exactly what she did:
Not to be cold-hearted, but couldn't she have stayed closer to the courthouse for the duration of the trial? There are plenty of overpasses in Columbus.
A water pipe froze and burst in my Columbus house this week. It's been an ordeal, but 100 times better than living outside in weather cold enough to freeze pipes.
Not sure if this is going to make you feel any better, but I was also too thinking the same thing. If she's homeless... what diff does it make where she crashes?
This is pretty astounding. The prosecutors couldn't touch base with the local women's center to get this woman a series of rides or a safe place to stay near court? Awful.
Best fucking country in the world!
USA! USA! USA!
(excuse me while I puke up lunch)
Homeless, eh? How long until Kasich purges her from the voter rolls?
Can we crowdfund her a car like that guy in Detroit?

I'd barter a couple cans of hobo beans and check under the couch cushions in order to help get her a bus pass, or an Uber account...

"Are there no overpasses?"
See? The amount of Justice you receive is not influenced by how much money you have.
Yay, America!
I'm not even going to wonder what color the victim is.
And yet another reason to defund mass transit!
Shoulda built an igloo. Bootstraps!

A little off topic, but she didn't manage to get a photo of her rapist with her free Obamaphone?

Ew, well, she was kinda smelly.

If she was white the perp would have died from complications of being arrested.
