I read every word. She will need to answer one question to the fbi. “You were an adult during these parties and saw drugs go into the punch?” I guarantee they will ask her that. Otherwise, this is way enough to keep Kavanagh off the court.

if you knew what was going on, why did you continue to go to these parties and why didn't you report this to the local authorities?

I am glad she came forward. She seems credible big time. Some right wingers will say, “she’s in her young 20’s hanging with 15 year olds.” I guarantee that will be their ridiculous out for kavenaugh. It won’t work. Nothing wrong with hanging with people younger in age then you are. Doesn’t happen often but it does.

An adult going to teenage HS parties, says she witnessed girls being drugged and being gang banged on several different occasions.

Not only did she not report anything, she kept going back again and again to these parties. Doesn't excuse anything Kavanaugh might have done, but damn. Wonder is she was the one supplying the liquor?

It amazes me how low the GOP has sunk. I think they had higher morals before the whole "moral majority" thing. The past 10 years have shown us the true intent of the GOP, without any of the false premise of piety. We see that they will sell their souls for money, hate women as second class, and anyone who is not old, white and still in the closet must be despised.

In the mid 1970s where a concoction called Purple Passion was served. They took a new garbage can, put in a garbage can liner and filled it with liquor. Everybody brought some kind of alcohol to pour into the can. It was a vile mixture I am pretty sure since it had various wines, rum, scotch, bourbon....basically if it was alcohol it went in. Drugs may have been included.

This mixture was consumed in large quantities and some people did get blind drunk. If you’ve Ever seen someone in that condition, you won’t forget it. It is upsetting and dangerous and many people who consume that much alcohol will begin to projectile vomit — which may be a good thing that prevents them from getting alcohol poisoning.

This happened at a highly regarded college in Mississippi. It was not a “party school.” You can imagine the kind of foolish and dangerous (possibly criminal) things that might occur in the presence of that much alcohol. Underage drinking was the least of their worries.

So the story of gang rapes or train rapes is not as far fetched as it might sound under circumstances like those described to me by my niece. Luckily for her, nothing like that ever happened to her, but she came with a date. Plus, she was not a big drinker either.
