In reply to the discussion: Anonymous Leaks Horrifying Video of Steubenville High Schoolers Joking About Raping a Teenager ‘Dead [View all]Rob H.
(5,862 posts)I watched the video (and would NOT recommend that others watch it; I wish I hadn't) and it wasn't just "boys being stupid." They raped that young woman repeatedly and were then joking and laughing about it--someone asked the giggling shitbag in the video, "What if she was your daughter?" and he responded, "But she isn't." No empathy, no remorse, just mockery and derision of a girl they raped. He deserves to be dragged into the street and beaten with a baseball bat, imo, and I'm not normally a violent person. If I were that young woman's father I'd probably be planning all sorts of unpleasant things for that worthless, repugnant fuck.
Some of the townspeople in the NY Times article above really need to take a serious look at themselves and their attitudes, too, imo. They're blaming the girl for ruining the football players' reputations, for fuck's sake! Yeah, your local high school football team should be able to do whatever they damned well please, and how dare anyone want them to be arrested after they've raped someone?
What else are you going to tell your parents when you come home drunk like that and after a night like that? said Hubbard, who is one of the teams 19 coaches. She had to make up something. Now people are trying to blow up our football program because of it.
