What gives anyone the notion that raping someone is ok? That you can go against someone’s consent and take a piece of them that they’ll never get back? There are a million questions I can ask in reference to the stupidity and selfishness of the world, but there isn’t enough time in the day. Luckily, there are people out there who still believe in right from wrong and lending a helping hand to those in need.
This example leads to Florida Gator LB Christian Garcia. TMZ got the scoop on the heroic effort of this kid.
The football player is Christian Garcia — who was working security at the 101 Cantina in Gainesville on Thursday night when he saw something suspicious by the dumpsters.
Garcia told FirstCoastNews … at first, he thought he saw two people having sex … but quickly realized the woman was passed out … so he decided to take action.
“The girl was basically unconscious, so I knew there was no way she could be giving consent.”
Garcia grabbed the guy and told him to stop — but the man allegedly responded by throwing punches at the 6’1″, 233-pound junior.
The suspect escaped — but cops launched an investigation and eventually arrested 34-year-old Christopher Shaw. Officials believe he may have raped other women as well.
As for Garcia, he said he never had any 2nd thoughts about going after the alleged attacker.
“I hold strong moral values and I don’t think anyone should be taken advantage of in that kind of way.”
Applauding people for doing the right thing shouldn’t be celebrated, but when you put yourself in harm’s way, I think we can add an exception. Kudos to this kid!
