163. When's the last time you were at a big party?
Plenty can go on in a small house that most people there wouldn't have any idea about. Hell, I've done some pretty crazy things at parties myself that nobody knew about.

With over 40 people in a small house all making noise it's impossible to not know what's going on in a closed bathroom upstairs while you're down in the kitchen or something? Are you kidding?

Just how much noise can be made by a woman being strangled anyway? Seems to be a good reason to be strangled while a rape is going on, huh? Can't do much in the way of screaming or calling for help when you can't breath.

Roberts being the only woman surrounded by 40+ frat boys that are obviously hostile to her hasn't got anything better to do than strain her ears for some odd noise coming from a bathroom upstairs? Apparantly she argued with them and slapped somebody. Seems to me that if that was the case she had better things to do at the time and other things to be paying attention to rather than something that may or may not have been going on upstairs. Somebody who had too much to drink could have been up in that bathroom with the door shut retching their guts up and people elsewhere in the house wouldn't have heard a thing. Was there music playing? Maybe there was... we don't know. Lots of parties have music playing which just adds to the noise. Seems to me that dancers would require some kind of music... come to think of it, whenever I dance there's usually music playing (wow... who'd have thought?)

And who says nobody knew that something not right was going on in the bathroom anyway? Could be plenty of people that knew or suspected... just not Kim. We have no idea where Kim was at the time. She could have been downstairs or outside. Seems to be a good reason for the women to be separated, huh? So the other dancer wouldn't know what was going on with the first dancer and couldn't be an eyewitness.

Who knows why the accuser didn't tell Kim? Why should she? They don't know each other, and Kim was angry with her. Plenty of rape victims can't even tell people they know, love and trust!

Read up about rape victims and maybe you'll understand why so many of them can't bring themselves to tell ANYONE. Hell, imagine being raped yourself and then get back to us.
