A culture of arrogance created a group mindset of debauchery and disrespect, of misplaced manhood and lost morality. Drunk on their own small-town greatness, they operated unaware of common decency until they went too far, wrote too much, bragged too many times and, finally, on a cold Sunday morning, were hauled out of a small third-floor courtroom as a couple of common criminals. Their ride to the Scioto Juvenile Correctional Facility was waiting for them out back, two floors down, out in the real world.

Too bad the scumbags weren't tried as adults. Still, its nice to see that playing football doesn't get you completely off-the-hook for rape. One year for Richmond, two years for Mays, and both will be registered sex offenders for as long as they breathe air.

Adult prison would be good for them. I stilll think rapists should have to serve their time naked, with their wrists shackled to their ankles.

A sad case for everyone involved.

Wow, look at that, another fatherless Black home...
"Everyone knows I wasn't there for my son," Nathaniel Richmond said. "I feel responsible for his actions. I feel highly responsible for his actions."
The little thug is off to a great rap career.

Good, but they should have been tried as adults and the other guys who knew what they were doing should have been tried as accomplices.

The Attorney General said that a grand jury will be convened to consider indictments against other individuals. Hopefully Michael Nodianos is among them, but he hasn't said who or what the charges will be.

Ah, I hadn't heard that and yeah, Nodianos should be in there. He's disgusting.

I agree. The witnesses who testified against Richmond and Mays were granted immunity by the judge. They were the ones who took and distributed pictures and videos and were present when the rapes took place, and one of them testified that he'd walked in on guys having sex with/raping other girls (who and in what context wasn't established) on prior occasions, so it really is a travesty of justice that the book won't be thrown at them. So who, other than Nodianos, is left to charge? I think the Attorney General should go after the parents with child endangerment charges. Where were they while hordes of minors were boozing it up and a 16 year old girl was gang raped in their house?

Jerry, I never thought you to be a racist. Ray is another story.

Your response to a harsh analysis of the perpetrators of this incident is to immediately bleat that someone may be racist.

You should be ashamed of your limp wristed complete disregard for the suffering of the 16 year old victim and your hot eyed leap to wrap a cloak of warm Liberal goo around the brutality of the perpetrators. Liberals like you are precisely what causes things like this to happen to innocent children.

You're gona have to troll better than the racist card. You're to obvious.

They raped a girl and got a slap on the wrist.

IMO a rape conviction should come with a mandatory death penalty.

The girl was in a "drunken stupor". I'm not saying she had it coming but if a 16 year old girl gets drunk and passes out in the midst of drunk 16 year old boys she has to take partial responsibility for the results. The boys were drunk and stupid and so was she.

I'm sympathetic, but it would create a perverse incentive to murder the victim. You know, amongst those people who aren't too entitled to realize what they're doing is rape.

Don't be surprised if every rapist in the DP forum runs to the convicts' defense.

Difference between "drunk and stupid" and "drunk and stupid and ****ing scum".

Sixteen year old boys think with their dicks, add alcohol and a passed out girl to that and you see what happens. Good lesson for girls here.

Oh, I know you're not coming in here and saying that a girl who was raped is, in any way, responsible for other people's actions?

If she was drunk, is she responsible for being drunk? Absolutely.
If she was drunk, is she responsible for two people raping her? Absolutely ****ing not.

She isn't responsible, partially or otherwise, for other people's CHOICES.

For God's sake, it's 2013. Can we please throw this medieval bull**** out the window?

****ing disgusting. It's this kind of "oh they're just boys" mentality that perpetuates rape and its consequences in society. No, they're not just boys. Many sixteen year old boys don't rape people. If you think rape is understandable, then that's a problem.

Fortunately, women aren't held responsible for the crimes of their rapists in this country. You can certainly say that this girl was responsible for being drunk, though she believes that she was drugged, but she was not responsible for being heave-hoed into a car and gang raped by morally bankrupt savages with an entitlement complex.

were they black and muslim ?
 
Re: Steubenville High School football players found guilty of raping 16-year-old girl

That's fair--juvenile detention until age twenty one. They should have been tried as adults, but obviously someone thought that would be taking it a step too far for this type of sexual assault.

As to Juvie: I still don't understand how a 21-year-old can be held in the same facility as 12-year-olds.

I just told my wife what you wrote. She agrees with that.
