CONTENT WARNING: Sexual Assault
In case you missed it: A Minnesota court just ruled that if a sexual assault victim got drunk voluntarily at the time of their assault, it won’t fit the designation for a rape charge.

Read that again.
This is the case involved in the ruling:
“A person who is sexually assaulted while intoxicated does not fit the designation for a more serious charge if he or she consumed the alcohol or drugs voluntarily, the Minnesota Supreme Court said in a ruling released Wednesday.” - CBS.
Where is the logic here? You don’t have a green light to assault someone just because they got drunk themselves. In what world is this logical?
