jezebel.com article about Rapes in Missoula

Not to hard to figure out who Tori and Ali are.

Nice....

Katie the muckraker reporter comes to Missoula from New York with her sidekick/bodyguard, a 20 year old switchblade wielding tough who can't accompany her into the lions den, now known as the Stockman's, because he forgot his fake ID. That's what I call security.

Oh wait, there is more. Katies contacts are the normal man on the street heroin addicts. I know they are everywhere in Missoula. Very credible.
Oh yeah, I left out the addict's ever so normal and extremely intelligent drunk girlfriend. I'm sure she doesn't use drugs though.

There might be problems in Missoula, but we don't need this so called journalist to tell us what they are. I want to know more about her and her bodyguard for sure. Don't you?

Nice publicity for Stockman's bar. "date-rape-bar" "creep bar" "roofie bar"

"impossible to leave without getting groped at least once"

Thats why I only order shots. Hard to roofie those.

It is called all those names and yet every weekend is packed. Stockman's is a "preppy" bar and most of the people she talked to were "stoners" that wouldn't quite fit in with the Stockman crowd. Might give a little biased opinion of it. I do agree with the groping part though.

I'm not quite sure what she is trying to do with this article though. Pour more salt onto an already open wound? Trying to write a sensational piece that will get her more views? Owe Gwen Florio a favor?

As she stated over and over, Missoula is pretty much just like any other college town. We just had an overzealous reporter that is trying to make a name for herself. I'm happy these allegations are being taken seriously now but am getting sick of every feminist reporter taking a crack at writing about it.

What do "stoners" look like?

If you really want to be grossed out, look underneath the bar at Stocks the next time you are there. Don't think that place has seen a mop for years either. That being said, I've had some good memories there. I liked going there better during the day. Don't know what that says about me...

I was able to obtain a photo of her bodyguard. He said he didn't need any of your "jock bullshit".

Have any of you heard this about Stocks? I never have. My college daughter just told me that she had never heard those things about Stocks.

I went to Stockman's once, at a time when I was friends with the bouncer and two bartenders. I never went back. Any other bar in Missoula is better than Stocks! Oh yeah, I was also the head cook next door at MacKenzie River.

 

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I have been in Stocks many, many times and its not that different than any other college bar. Girls get groped, hit on and insulted.


Its obvious to me that the writer of this article needs her ham wallet impeccably detailed so it shines like a diamond in a billy goats butthole.

That might get her laid.....if she ever goes back to Stocks.

Good response by the Indy: http://missoulanews.bigskypress.com/missoula/etc/Content?oid=1651629#.T7WE64nOG7s.facebook" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Last week at the Indy, there were groans as staffers read the website Jezebel's article "My weekend in America's so-called rape capital." It was the product of writer Katie J.M. Baker's recent trip to Missoula, in the wake of the Department of Justice's investigation of the way rapes have been handled here. Baker's intimation that she needed to have a companion waiting for her outside Stockman's bar "with a switchblade" because "it wasn't exactly safe to go there by myself" made us wonder which town she was talking about. No one here does that at bars. Clearly, Baker came with an agenda, coupled with the belief that she was the only feminist to step foot in town, and she ignored the kinds of complexities that could have made her story interesting.

That got us thinking about image and truth, about what we should be defending and what we shouldn't. Missoula shouldn't be protected from its flaws. Rape culture exists here just as it does everywhere. Eighty sexual assaults in three years might be on par with other, similarly sized communities, but it's still 80 sexual assaults. Insecure neanderthals with rufies in their pockets should be checked by everyone. Grizzly football should be a privilege beyond the reach of entitled douchebags who can't show up to class and who don't have the cojones to treat women like human beings.

And yet, to depict Missoula as a place overrun with dumb kids who condone rape is disingenuous and useless. A better story might have asked how a town with such a good reputation, one constantly spotlighted in outdoors and travel magazines, fell so far—and a better story would have asked what we're going to do about it.

Missoula has held "Take Back The Night" rallies for decades. Last month, UM's Women's Resource Center held a "slut walk" to raise awareness of sexual assault. And the same weekend that Baker was embedded at Stockman's, just a couple of blocks away, the Garden City Lady Arm Wrestlers were showing just how funny, strong and spirited Missoula women can be. Missoula should be shown for what it is, warts and all. That also includes acknowledging that many Missoulians have been combating ignorance since long before there was a Jezebel or even an internet.

That is a pretty good response, BW. Maybe the Indy will write the article it suggests Baker should have. As it was, there was enough botched info about Missoula that I knew was wrong that I really had to dismiss the information in the article that was news to me.

I have no idea what that means, but I can't stop laughing at the statement. :lol: :lol: :lol: :clap: :clap: :clap:

first thing i thought of after reading that response was, when did the Indy start taking shots at other lib rags?
then i realized that if the bar scene in MSLA is perceived to be dangerous, less people may read the Indy.

Self serving, funny that this bunch twitters while they have the ultimate useless nag Ochenski on the payroll. If you wan't a whiner hire Ochenski. Met him 30 years ago and it appears he hasn't had an original idea in the meantime. While I share some of his concerns,I'll go back awhile and label him as a human qualude. Note to self, do not follow his path, too depressing, All people who disagree with my convoluted logic are evil.

This guy is a gnats ass in any reasonable discussion , lets leave it at that.

 

[garizzalies]

I must be evil cuz I actually like good ole George. him and my old man go way back. His political views are extremely opposite of mine but he is a great guy and an exceptional writer.
