As a teenage guy with three sisters, two of which are younger (13 and 16, older one is 23)…It really does scare me. Plus, it really does kick me in the pride department. I know teenage boys are too caught up in talking big and a little too on the horn dog and porn loving side…but this is just, I don’t even know how to describe it. I can’t believe teenagers are becoming criminals whether it be stealing or violent like murdering (that 15 year old girl who murdered the 9 year old recently) and raping another. I don’t think parents understand what their sons and daughters do these days. I can’t exactly say that it’s parents’ faults of their sons (or daughters) committing violent crimes…even if they are strict or loving parents…but I think the parents of the bystanders—who laughed and video taped this—and the young rapists didn’t teach them to respect women or even teach them that when they witness a crime, they MUST call 911 or they could also be arrested for participation (and child pornography). I’m just disgusted, utterly disgusted and ashamed of my gender. I’ve heard ignorant people on other websites blaming the poor girl just because she said yes to drinking. First off, no one knows if she did drink or is she did, was drunk. Second, it is NEVER the victims’ fault, even if they happen to be caught up in the moment with their boyfriend or husband and end up saying no. I had a very long lecture by my father when I entered 9th grade about the importance of knowing NOT to drink and if I did, never ever take advantage of a girl when she is drunk. It’s a big no no, even if she says yes. It’s still rape because when you’re drunk, you’re not in the correct state of mind. I can’t help but worry about my youngest sister now that she will be in 9th next year…there will be pressure to have sex and party. I’m already overprotective as it is, I interrogate already. But I just can’t believe a young man would participate in this. They just signed their soul to the devil when they decided to trick a girl… I also cannot believe security (4 cops) did not kick the 10-15 guys off school grounds or put the dance on lockdown once they found the girl. Also, does anyone know where the hell the father was?! She walked out and waited for her dad, but where was he during the 2 ½ hours? I hope to God these people serve life in jail and the bystanders get years and years in jail.
