All too often when you come across an article that outrages you, reading the comments only do more harm. Also, in my cases, people find it just easier to blame the victim, which I find fucking disgusting.

Don’t you just love how victim blaming tries to find fault with everyone but the main actors in the crime? Somehow her tone and word choice makes Jones unworthy of help. I could go my whole life without ever seeing such ugly shit.
