And if them bragging about it encourages someone else to step forward and also save someone then what exactly is the problem here?
"We caught a man drugging a womans drink and saved a woman from a horrible trauma, Please remember that we can all save a life..Speak up if you ever see anything suspicious."
vs
"LOOK AT HOW AWESOME WE ARE CAUSE GUESS WHO STOPPED A RAPE LAST NIGHT WHOO BUY LOOKIT HOW AWESOME WE ARE HERE LET US TELL YOU ALL ABOUT OUR NIGHT WITH FANCY CHEESES AND WHATEVS BECAUSE THIS IS TOTALLY ALL ABOUT US. "
one of those is a decent human being letting the public know that its okay to step up and say something if they see something, the other is milking someone elses potential tragedy for personal accolade.
Personally, I'm a fan of decency over narcissism.
Dude, I don't know what your malfunction is or just why you have to project so hard on this thing, but how about stop being a goose?
There are a lot of things it is OK to brag about. Stopping an attempted rape is one of them.
Seriously.
"GUESS WHO JUST GOT THEIR MASTERS DEGREES? THESE GALS!" would also be 100% acceptable because that's something totally worth celebrating. And this is like way more awesome then even that.
So, instead of blaming victims of rape, we now berate people who stop rape from happening?
/facepalm
I cant believe you all keep taking my position as some kind of pro-rape puritan stigma shit, instead of what I've clearly stated, repeatedly. But whatever, you won. Contrary opinion successfully shut down and isolated, I'm gone.

Im totally not doing that. I think people in our age group may have unintended bias from media and such but youre not coming off as puritanical or pro rape

A Thai man is recovering from a bloody encounter with a 3-meter (10-foot) python that slithered through the plumbing of his home and latched its jaws onto his penis as he was using a squat toilet.
Attaporn Boonmakchuay was smiling as Thai television stations interviewed him in his hospital bed about the intimate intrusion, and doctors said he would recover. But photos of his blood-splattered bathroom in Chachoengsao province, east of Bangkok, were testimony to his ordeal.
The 38-year-old told Thai TV Channel 7 that he struggled to remove the snake for 30 minutes Wednesday before he managed to free himself with help from his wife and a neighbor. After his wife tied a rope around the snake, Attaporn pried open its jaws before passing out.
Emergency workers dismantled the Asian-style squat toilet, with the python still twined through it. The snake was taken away to be released back into the wild, according to an emergency responder cited by the newspaper Thai Rath.
Doctors said Attaporn, bloodied but unbowed, will recover.
Unless you count that my fear of toilets in foreign countries has gone right up through the roof.
I don't know, being known as "Python Dick" might have its upsides.
Yup, up until she asks how you got the nickname, and you have to tell her about the time your wife and neighbor had to pry a toilet snake off your junk.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — A police officer dashed into the woods alone to search for a man who called 911 saying he ran into forest to escape two armed men.
The gunmen were never found, and the officer soon located the distress caller, but now neither of them could find their way back to the street.
And so it went for three hours in the forest in Birmingham, Alabama, where it took a police K9 unit to track them down.
In the hours after Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the entire NBA-watching universe found itself poring over various angles of Draymond Green kicking Steven Adams right in the penis. Green was at risk of being suspended for Game 4, and suddenly the punchline was vital to the outcome of the NBA playoffs.
Just as suddenly, reporters had to describe what had happened. Different outlets have different comfort levels when writing about the crotch. The New York Times, for example, threw idiomatic English out the door on first reference: “Exhibit A was that Green picked up a flagrant-1 foul — while hacked in the act of shooting — with 5 minutes 57 seconds left in the half by flailing a leg between those of Steven Adams, who wound up doubled over.” The New York Daily News, writing after the situation had resolved itself, was less weighed down by compunction: “Green will not be suspended for kicking Thunder center Steven Adams in the nuts during Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Sunday, the league indicated in a release.”
Clearly, a more thorough linguistic examination is in order. Out of practicality, when searching for the terms used by news outlets to describe the incident, I limited the search to online articles, and not broadcast or radio. I used Google’s advanced search function to look for articles in the last week about Adams or Bismack Biyombo, who was punched in the genitals by Dahntay Jones in the Eastern Conference Finals the night before Adams crumpled, and counted up who wrote what.
The sample includes articles from mainstream sports news sites such as ESPN, Yahoo, CBS Sports, Fox Sports and — for strictly liberal-media, East-Coast-bias reasons — a few of the New York tabloids. I threw in some old media standbys (The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Associated Press) as a control group, as well as general sports blogs like SB Nation and Bleacher Report for more or less the opposite effect. I also sought out the most partial participants: local newspapers for each team, plus dedicated blogs for each team — Daily Thunder (the TrueHoop Network’s blog for the Thunder), Golden State of Mind (SB Nation’s for the Warriors) and Deadspin, a Warriors fan blog based in New York City.

“Other” variations appeared 71 times, though this number is heavily skewed by a single Yahoo article that used 30 non-standard variations.

To be fair, I'd much rather be lost in the woods with a cop than lost in the woods by myself.
If nothing else, you know they're going to go all out looking for the cop.
I know that this is Georgia (the People's Republic of) and not Georgia (on my mind), but honestly I like the fact that until you get to the word "Tbilisi’s" it could have gone either way.

Everyone's favorite volunteer cop and super ride-along Robert Bates was given the maximum possible sentence by the judge who agreed with the recommendation by the un-amused jury that convicted him.
Hopefully this signals an end to tolerance for the "I totally thought I was reaching for my tazer" defense and not merely when the defendant is a wannabe cop.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
I think the problem is even for a mostly liberal group like us theres still weird stigmas on how you treat sex crimes and the people involved .
The real good news is a generation is growing up and challenging those views.
