LOL. Back to victimology, since this isn't just about why one person feels as she/he does:
There are people who feel as though they can relate to the Holloway case. What's embedded in that is the question of which victims receive the most response based on how people can relate to them. Mainstream society is most likely to relate to victims who look like them (or fit some ideal), seemingly live like them, and people who from all accounts were perceivably "pure" prior to being victimized.
That's why saying things like "she'd be getting good grades in college" and "she was so nice" receives a certain reaction from people. Let's say she wasn't a good student and wasn't considered nice and wholesome. Is that less of a loss?

Yeah, I re-read that part of your post and see what you meant. It wasn't poorly worded. I can admit when I misinterpreted something.
