That's the address of an article about T. Christian Miller speaking at the University of Virginia in April of this year.
I am not a professional journalist. However, I know that systems fail the less wealthy and less powerful people in a conflict all the time.
I was evicted from my last apartment because I verbally confronted the landlord about whether there were hidden cameras all over the apartment. The landlord sent the police to my apartment and got me committed to a mental hospital. Then the landlord sent me an eviction letter, saying that there were no cameras in the apartment and that it was a violation of my lease for me to have asked if there were. In court, I was called crazy, and I got evicted, even though there were hidden cameras all over the apartment and the conglomerate victim-blamed me for them throughout the year that I lived there.
The conglomerate knew that everything that was said about me in court was a lie; throughout three court hearings, the conglomerate did nothing to stop the eviction which its abuse of me had caused.
I was evicted, and I spent another two consecutive years being homeless, unable to get another apartment because nobody wants to rent to someone who just got evicted. Not only did the conglomerate have no remorse about causing me to be victimized by voyeurism everywhere that it happened to me, it has never stopped encouraging people to commit that crime against me.
Abusers often make their crimes against their targets worse by taking them to court, and they often win. The wrong people win in court all the time.
