Blog Stage 3

In this Article it talks about Americans rushing to judgement when it comes to sexual harassment claims. This opinion comes after State Rep. Dan Johnson killed himself after being accused of sexual assault. Overall, I feel that this article is intended for people who are very ignorant towards this topic. The writer Kathleen Parker is an opinion writer who has probably never met a victim who has gone through sexual assault. I feel that every accusation should be taken seriously, because this is the sole reason for this movement. Victims are afraid to speak up for this same reason they feel that people will judge them and not believe them. As for the suicide of Dan Johnson, I feel that this is completely irrelevant to the victims integrity. Rep. Johnson choice to take that direction and it was his way of handling it, it does not take any truth away from his accusers story. Clearly both sides should be taken into consideration, but at the same time the way this is all being handled is definitely not a rush to judgement.
