You're leaping to one fuck of a conclusion about me there.

I wanted to find out why our anonymous friend felt so strongly that he felt the police and justice system's attitude was "their allegations MUST be believed without question" rather than the more accurate "their allegations MUST be properly investigated". Many people who have been sexually assaulted don't go to the police because they don't think they'll be listened to, and no-one is going to get their day in court without a police investigation and a CPS referral. Our friend is justifiably angry about the miscarriage of justice suffered by his friend, but has reached extreme conclusions when he says truly ridiculous things like 'a rape complainant is now a "victim"' (hence most of the downvotes he garnered, I would guess).
