You complain about how people that don't know here are saying this and that yet you didn't know her but claim that she is "normal, incredibly nice girl". How do you know this? She could have been whooping Joran's ass for whatever reason and he pushed back. NO ONE KNOWS; and frankly I'm tired of hearing about it. To put it harshly I don't care. It doesn't affect me at all. I just hope others learn from this story.

Now...when did being Greek mean that you can't have an opinion on issues?
Yep and even typing "normal, incredibly nice girl" has so many connotations that take us back to my very first post on victimology. What's "normal" and whose opinion of "incredibly nice" matters when it comes to garnering attention and sympathy for some victims over others.
