We need a timely reporting law so that people's lives can no longer be disrupted and democracy hijacked by ancient allegations which cannot be proven or disproven due to the lapse of time, eroding memories, and generally making it impossible to ascertain factual events from fictional allegations.

We can all agree that sexual assaults are more impactful on society than property crimes, right?

So, in CA and NY/RI, you have 5 days and 24 hours, respectively, to notify law enforcement of the theft of any firearm.

Surely for something even more emergent than a missing piece of property, we can impose the same reporting requirements on a far more serious offense, to ensure that investigations are contemporaneously initiated, that evidence is preserved, and so that the system ensures equal justice in the form of sufficient due process, for both victim and accused.

Oh yeah, that will work. Women who are already devastated will have to report it immediately or it doesn't count. What a stupid idea.

It's a brilliant idea for those who want to further suppress the rights of women. They could finally ease up on their victim-shaming, and use an ill-conceived law to do their dirty work for them.

Let the parade of lame excuses for the shallow and impressionable begin:

(I do agree, however, that 48 hours is too short a time frame; one month seems both sufficient and appropriate).

Sexual freedom connotes (and demands) sexual responsibility; and a reminder that the clock never stops is a part of that.

A lot of people, male and female alike, are "confused" from the day they start to verbalize until the day they die; and our "feel good" participation-trophy "educational" system doesn't have much interest in dispelling the fog.

So its not victim shaming, nor does it suppress their rights to require citizens to timely report the theft of an item of property, but its victim shaming, and a suppression of rights (not sure I'm familiar with the "right to accuse people of prurient offenses 36 years after the fact), to require citizens to timely report a far more serious offense.

Got it. No bias, that's not political at all!

What's arbitrary about 48 hours?


Do you have a proposal for a non-arbitrary reporting period that serves the interests of justice discussed in my original post?
