You should be able to google it with the buzzwords for something you can read.

What's fucking disgusting are the rape apologists going on about how their lives (minimum 1-2 year sentence in a youth prison I believe) are ruined, and how they won't be able to get a job being on the sex offenders register.

I always assumed the easiest way to avoid being on the sex offenders register was not to commit any bloody sex offences. But what do I know.

What is even more disgusting is that CNN news anchors were stating that the promising lives of these two young men were ruined. There was no mention of the female victim.

The page won't open for me... but I read about it earlier anyway.

I guess I'll post some links for others to see as well.

Apparently, new charges could get brought in:

Yeah, I was waiting for comments like that.

What I said on Facebook was that I don't know if the parents made them the animals they are, or if they lack empathetic neuroreceptors, but given the way the surroundings have responded I suspect it's much like TX - they're football players in a town that probably depends on the sports revenue and support, as well as having slut-shaming values.

As for their lives being ruined by "stupid mistakes," I'd like to defer to Dave Chapelle's question (though they are not this age), "How old is 14 really?"

The reason he asked it is because he said we need to have a discussion about when personal responsibility and adult-like thought come into the equation. At what age will you be expected to realize that, at the very least, rape is a Bad Fucking Idea, and hopefully will take into account that it's an awful, horrible, terrible thing to inflict upon another human being?

I suspect also that CNN will be trying to say that they are attempting to portray how far they had fallen, if complaints are made. I think the victim has had enough publicity. No media outlet should grief-whore.

Not suprised, members of football teams are either complete and utter retards or believe that they can do whatever they fuck they want due to their social status , only a few actualy could be considered to be decent people.

I have seen: neo fascism, racism, bar fights, assault on police and tax evasion.

Yet I havent seen rapeists amongst the ranks of a football team before.

Goot that there at least was a trial, even when the punishment is low.

I'm torn about this. What those boys did was vile, disgusting, and inhumane, and to post film and pictures of it… I'm upset the people filming, posting, and not stopping it, aren't up on charges. But… They are 16 and 17. Adolescents don't have good impulse control or a fully functioning cerebral cortex. Mentally, they aren't adults who can fully consider all aspects of their actions. I think they should be labeled sex offenders into adulthood, their records should not be expunged upon release, and don't disagree with the 4-5 years in detention.

Fest...at 16 and 17, did you have murderous or rapey impulses?
