The charges go beyond "rape". Any current article will give you that info. Read a few and you might find out more as to what transpired.
WOW, a girl gets violated and humiliated in more ways than one, and you doubt she wouldn't learn from it? Do you doubt that the boys will learn anything as well?
Double WOW - based on your post it's clear that you can't see where the outrage is directed.
The girl got fingered which is sexual assault but I doubt she internalized any humiliation being drunk and passed out. The boys got JV, and while they'll probably only serve about 6 months to 1 year before getting out, they'll be registered sex offenders for the rest of their lives.
As for this fingering thing, it happens so much to people passed out that I'm sure the boys didn't even know it was illegal. It's certainly misleading to call it rape.
Much worse crime than Steubenville. But the criminals were poor black people on welfare. Can't criticize them.
I also think liberals have a problem with jocks. Look at the outrage over this case and the Duke case. Probably because liberals are too p*ssy to be athletes themselves. They are jealous of anyone that is. Plus, sports actually rewards people on outcomes. Not because they play the victim and/or race card.
No--that's not it. I'm a small town midwesterner, and my boys play football (and wrestle, and do track, and summer private league select baseball). It has nothing to do with football and being from a small town. It DOES have everything to do with creating a culture in ANY town where, for whatever reason, a group of kids are treated like gods who can do no wrong, and who believe they won't be accountable for their actions because the community will fall in behind them, no matter what they do. I live in Nebraska--a state that's about as football crazy as it gets--and I can tell you right now that the star athletes in my community aren't treated that way, and wouldn't be treated that way. Football is a game. When you make it more than that, there's a problem.
I thought you were ranting that the town was liberal a few minutes ago. Now it's republican? Do you even care, or are you just trying to twist which ever way the wind blows?

They also put their penises in her mouth, and masturbated and ejaculated on her chest. I think the internalized humiliation shame, and embarrassment might, just might, come from potentially being drugged, having the pictures tweeted all across the community, and the terror of knowing that she had no control over what happened to her. That and being completely revictimized by being called a liar and a wh*re, having the adults in the community try to cover it up, and from people like the fine folks on this board who are blaming her because she was at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Congratulation Knob!!!! Race is totally irrelevant to this thread, yet you managed to get it in.
BTW, thanks for confirming that small-town white Midwesterners, such as those in Stuebenville, are republicans!!!! There have been some republicans posting trying to make democrats look bad by claiming that the town was full of democrats!!!! I guess you should know seeing as how you are from Ohhh-Hiiii-Ohhhhh.
I think in your case it's more about your mental state, not your biological design.
