Warning: Triggering, graphic talk of rape part 3/3

(Anonymous) 2011-03-30 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[last part lj comment limits are too small]

At the end of the summer, when Kevin heard me talking to a girl who worked in catering about what had happened, he came over and told me that I should know he really cares because in 4 years his daughter will be 14, and he is a feminist, that I should admit that he did everything he could to help me, and that if I am still feeling bad about it I should go see a psychiatrist when I get home.

If I were to truly explain to you how that made me feel, you would be left bleeding heavily in a bath of salt. That pain is something MY father has felt, my mother has felt when she still wakes me up from my nightmares weekly. It is a burden that will never ever be lifted from my beloved boyfriend, and my best friends in my band who have born the fallout.

I blame Kevin Lyman because unlike the person who drugged and raped me, he knows the difference between right and wrong, And unlike that person, Kevin was in a position of power. I definantly blame the rapist for his crime, but more than him I blame Kevin and Volcom and Epitaph, and everyone else who put money, and business over human decency. I blame everyone in a position of power who looked the other way and let the criminal get away with it.

Kevin Lyman claiming his concern for me on the life of his daughter has burned me since the words came out of his mouth. And if anyone asks me why I waged war on the entire United States of America over this issue, I will tell you right now. It is for her. Because her father was too weak.

Wow. I have no relationship to any of the bands or scenes in question, but wow.

Also she sounds like a really impressive person. I hope she's recovering okay.

Thanks for posting this. This makes me sick, I'm glad I haven't been to Warped since 2000. But what does this have to do with MCR? They're mentioned once in the beginning but they didn't take part in the rape and she didn't mention them at all afterwards.

Warped Tour, Volcom, Epitath

Yup

never buying shit from them again.

Man this whole article is so heartbreaking and enraging. I cannot believe the magnitude of Bullshit people will do and say to cover their asses and looks the other way when something like this happens.

Is there a source for this info other than the locked-down girlpunk site? My googlefu is failing me, and my various flists will rip me a new one if the only substantiation I have for this is an anon posting in an LJ comm.

Don't get me wrong: this reads as very authentic to me. I believe it. I just would like something I can point to when skeptical folks want more evidence than "this sounds depressingly realistic to me."
