Clueless CNN reporters are shocked at rape coverage backlash

[EagleSmack]

The uproar is the reporters were all concerned about the boys life ahead and nothing about the girls state of mind and emotional health.
This girl has received threats of violence and I think death was also mentioned.

But they were usually good kids and were really good football players! They had scholarships and stuff.

(please note the color before you think I am sympathetic to these punks.)

I think it is all a huge conspiracy where they decided to place the economy of the town before the rape of the girl and the conviction of her assailants. I can even see how they could keep twisting that in their mind until they decided it was "best" even for "her" to cover it up. It is going to get uglier.

It happens enough. I love football... love it. But I hate when people put The Program before the victims. Penn State comes to mind.

My favourite is always "But this could ruin his life!".

Well that's what you get for having a moral compass.

This happens a lot. I know, even among my circle, of two times where a teenage girl has been sexually abused at a party after drinking too much. Predators are everywhere, looking for an opportunity.

So true... back in the day there were clowns that I knew of that would go to clubs and just drink water because they were looking for the intoxicated ones and wanted to have their wits about them. Just scum bags.
