A black man commits a sexual assault? No can't be. They say it does not happen!

What woman in her right mind would be walking in a wooded area in that neighborhood alone at night? Not that she deserved what happened to her...but let's use some common sense. I hope the victim was not hurt. She'll have plenty of mental anguish to deal with.

Gee, a black rapist? What a shocker. Mont. Village is becoming increasingly more violent....It's little D.C & P.G. I lived there back when it was safe but now I wouldn't walk down the street in broad daylight much less at night or in a wooded area.

Even Lakeforest Mall is now called "Ghetto Mall", and that's sad. All the entrances are always packed with thugs and gangbangers just hanging around. Mall security is a joke too. They are scared of the thugs.

I hope they catch this animal and fast. Ladies if you do have to walk near a wooded area day or night put some distance between you and the woods by walking in the street near the curb facing on coming traffic!! If something like this were to happen there is a good chance someone will see it. What a terrible thing to have to go through. I wish her well!!

Black Rapist, no suprise. Probably trying to get his before he goes on his crack rock binge and the illegals take over the rape arena.

Racist comments on these message boards? Gee surprise?

Rapists come in all colors, and socioeconomic groups.

And no, she didn't "deserve" to be raped, just as a provocatively dressed woman doesn't. Decent people need to continue to to take back the night.

Coincidentally, this is the same general area in which a homeless man stole a motorcycle in the Ridgeline Drive area of Montgomery Village and dumped the cycle at Morningview Drive in the area of Emory Grove and guys stealing cars and motorcycles are becoming more of a problem according to police and I have cautioned our neighbors to keep motorcycles inside at night to prevent theft. Our family have had to move away from some areas for our personal safety because of the theft problems.

In deed. Sexual assults seem to ever increasing against woman and children in Washington DC Metropolitian area and permits to carry concealed weapons should be investigated by all.

Nobody deserves to be an victim, but there are ways to prevent yourself from becoming a victim and dressing provocatively isn't one of them.

Same goes for someone like Matthew Shepherd. Don't go home with strangers.

So if a woman wears a mini-skirt or shorts, she deserves to be raped? That's an appalling statment. It is summer time and hot as hell. If a woman wants to wear shorts and a tank top she should be able to walk down the street and not have to wonder if she is going to be raped for dressing "provocatively". I've got news for you doowop, women get raped while wearing sweatsuits while they are out jogging.

I think you have a reading comprehension problem.

I said that no one deserves to be a victim...but, those that do dress provocatively or put themselves in risky situations (ie. walking alone at night) increase their chances of being accosted and harassed.

It's not about who deserves what...it's about reality.

Do you think if Matthew Shepherd didn't go to that bar and didn't go home with strangers that he would be alive today?

Chances are more likely that he would be.
