Collecting a DNA sample from every man in town
posted by Matt on 11:53 AM January 21st, 2005
Inequality Anonymous User writes "In one town, police are seeking a DNA sample from every man. The purpose is to hopefully solve a 2002 murder of a woman writer. (Semen was found on the murder victim.) Providing the samples is voluntary, but information is being recorded about those who do not cooperate. The article says that wide sweeps for DNA have not been effective with respect to solving previous crimes. The ACLU has criticized the "DNA dragnet" as well."

How would you feel if while sitting in a restaurant with 4 of your female coworkers, a policeman invades your privacy and asks you, for all the world to hear, "How about doing your part to help solve a murder - of a woman. All I need is a little DNA sample. No big deal." If you stand up and say "Go F yourself with a parking meter", you'll end up on the suspect list and probably become a pariah at your place of work and God knows where else. How chicken shite can this be? VERY. I wonder if all of the policeMEN will be giving voluntary samples? If any of you are fans of the CSI television genre, perhaps you remember a case where a murder was comitted and sperm was found only later it was discovered that the sperm had been unknowingly collected from a innocent man and then placed on the crime victim in order to incriminate the wrong guy. Yeah, maybe I'm going out on a limb but such a deviant scheme could be hatched by either a man or woman. OK, OK, I'm coming in from the Twilight Zone.

There are plenty of falsely accused, convicted, and sentenced guys setting in jail right who don't have the benefit of DNA evidence in their favor to free them so given the vindictive, vengeful nature of "some" women it isn't a stretch at all to see how "some" women "will" use DNA to slam dunk an ex-husband or ex-lover through the hoop of the justice system with a false accusation of rape.

All she has to do is falsely accuse, then the guy will be left with, "Sure we had sex, but it was consenual."

I'm sure there are other scenerios that vengeful, manipulative, exploitive women can dream up to "screw the guy," then sue him for damages in civil court and get her "big payday."

If Hollywood weren't such a bigoted, man-hating institution we'd see a lot more TV shows and movies about the realities of false accusations that have allegedly ruined the lives of a whole lot of men.

All you have to do is take a look at the glaring number of false accusation cases (by females against males) that aren't prosecuted to see the depth of the problem.

Whenever I hear about something like this, that totally tramples on the basic rights of men, I always ask the questions: "What would happen if women were subjected to the same treatment? Would they ever be?"
I doubt anything of the kind would ever be done to women, and I can only image the berserk state the feminist organizations and their male protectors/lackeys would be in if it happened. Yet they have no problem doing this to men. Something's not right here. (I have a talent for understatement, I know)

..because it did, here. A mother had killed her newborn child and they collected DNA samples from several thousand women. One of them sued..and won. Among other reasons was this one: it only targeted women.
On the other hand, several other of these mass tests have been carried out, but probably just no one cared enough to sue.

Providing the samples is voluntary...

Sure! It is voluntary for the time being!

There are thousands of men languishing in prisons now who claim a DNA test will help free them and prove their innocence. The states however refuse to arbitrarily provide DNA testing stating as one reason the enormous cost of DNA testing to the taxpayer.

But Massachusetts is willing to pay for the testing of 100's of men's DNA just because a woman was murdered. Do they honestly think the killer, if it were indeed a man, would voluntarily give a DNA sample? Duh! Also, their chances of catching the killer using voluntary DNA samples would probably be just about the same if they used a psychic to track him or her down.

One thing can be deduced from this is that misandry causes dumbasses in law enforcement as elsewhere!
