Regarding the Steubenville "Rape Crew"... **POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING**
I've been catching up on the whole Steubenville stuff that's been publicized these past few days, and it's really disgusting. This is the result of football culture and rape culture coming together to form these sociopathic young men that are being defended by all these adults who should know better, while the actual victim is reportedly being ostracized by her so-called friends and even receiving death threats.
For those of you who don't know what's going on, Everything You Need to Know About Steubenville High's Football 'Rape Crew' has a basic overview. LocalLeaks' The Steubenville Files has a more comprehensive description of what's happened so far. LINKS CONTAIN TRIGGERING MATERIAL!
I can't even understand the scumbags who are defending these assholes who apparently are known around school as the "Rape Crew" (seriously???). Thankfully this is getting more attention now, because everything about it has been bungled by local law enforcement; hopefully this girl will be able to get the justice she deserves, and those sociopaths will also get what they deserve. It doesn't look like they'll get it through jail time (but let's be honest, when to rapists ever get what they deserve through jail time in this country?), but now their identities are known and this will follow them wherever they go in the future.
I don't care, I want their lives to be ruined, I want them to never get into a college and never get a job - I hope this is a specter that follows them for the rest of their lives, until the day they all die.
WhiteHouse.gov petition to get this case pushed out of juvenile court where it is now, and for these assholes to be tried as adults: here.
