Besides the guy being a scumbag rapist, I wonder why someone would do that to a date that is going well? Why not try to have sex with your dates the old fashioned way? With consent?
My misanthropy continues to grow.

I was wondering about that too...but rape is less about sex than power. He didn't want to have consensual sex with her at all.

The story had the opposite effect on me. I guess I presume there are a fair number of scumbags out there, so I was all "Yay! Look at the good in humanity and the helping and the saving and the glayvin!"

Look at you--glass half-full guy! The good news is that with the waitress and bartender, the heroes outnumber the scumbags so that's a net gain for humanity.
I should be more upbeat about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The idea that people might have seen a drug being slipped into someone's drink and not done something sickens me deeply and in a different way from the crime itself. I like the smoothness of what they did in the article but my lack of hatred for the whole species is a tenuous one and could slip at any moment. They bought a few more days.

Man, I can't spell for shit today.

That's an aspect I hadn't even considered.

They did handle it extremely well. I fear my action would have been to take a baseball bat upside his head immediately.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
See this is why I a) take my drink with me b) finish my drink c) construct an elaborate sculpture on top of my glass using matches, cigarette packs, napkins & cell phones.
Though it does bring up an aspect about having to smoking outside without a patio where one can take her drink that I hadn't thought of before.

They preserved the evidence, too, which was damn smart -- I expect the police and prosecutor handled the case well, too. Kudos all around.
Even though it was for a truly unpleasant medical procedure, I'd rather not be made to not-remember it. Do you know that some medical schools only recently stopped having students practice pelvic exams on unconscious women who had not consented?
