It most likely was not meant in this manner.. but it came off sounding like "oh it was just 200 egyptians, don't stereotype them... this stuff happens in America all the time... glad she's okay."

The poor woman was gang raped... she's far from Okay. Alive? Yes? Okay? doubtful.

and adding this phrase: "Yeah, that's never happened in the United States, women getting attacked and raped after football celebrations, during street parades/parties, etc." was ridiculous.



Riot would have been much better off skipping this thread.

I took it to mean that she felt like randall's posts seemed to indicate that he was taking the actions of the rapists as representative of the entire Egyptian people while ignoring everything else that had happened in Cairo in recent weeks.
On that point, I basically agree with her.

As for saying she was "okay," it seems like Riot meant to say "I'm glad that at least they didn't kill her." I suppose that is a fair point too but, as usual, she didn't make the point very clear and then flew into attack mode when people (understandably) questioned her use of the word "okay."
