I believe it would haves. If not the actual rapists, then some of those witnesses. Especially the ones who tried to stop it. Teenagers in a drunken stupor will do really stupid things, and some of them may have a vague feeling that what they see happening is wrong. If they were taught not to rape they would have been much more sure of the wrongness of what they saw.

all that is left is High School Football.

Not excusing the behavior by any stretch of the imagination, just adding to the story.

Jocks in these small town are heroes.

Can the same tactics for NRA officers, hedge fund managers who own stock, gun dealers, gun manufacturing corporate heads bring an end to gun proliferation?

sooner or later.

I wouldn't expect anything.

How many times have DUers complained about entities setting themselves up as judge, jury and executioner?

Isn't that what Anonymous is doing?

Someone, somewhere got wind that a crime occurred and now vigilante wannabes want to pretend they know all the facts and it doesn't matter who gets hurt in the meantime so long as they get their moment of glory.

Anonymous has been wrong before. They have 'outed' the wrong people as pedophiles. How can this possibly turn out differently?

At least Anon backs up what they say with links.

Thing is, Cruikshank didn't sit down and have a go with his pencil box.
But thanks for the concern.

BTW, next time there's a retrospective for Republicans on these new-fangled video furbelows, you may avail yourself of the educational opportunity yourself.

She hated it. I went to visit her and thought it was a very pretty town. But she sure was glad to move from there.

good thing in Steubenville is Naples Italian Restaurant. Been there since 1932 family owned,if you ate there you would know why. I live bout 15 miles from Steubenville.

I was born in Steubenville. I always go to Naples when I go back home. Another thing I love is the local pizza. Head up to Toronto to Gem City pizza, it's a new place but has the old square style pizza and it's awesome! Of course the best cooking back home is at my mom's but I won't send you there, lol.

On edit: yep, the ville has sure gone downhill since its heyday. Sad.

the Elm Grove WV Di Carlo's Pizza. Have you ever had their pizza? Out of all the Ohio Valley's Dicarlo's Pizza, Elm Grove is my favorite.

Maybe next time I'm home.....

that actually committed the rape. Those that stand by and watch and do nothing are just as guilty.

It's a shame we need Anonymous to balance the scales of justice.

Anonymous has been wrong before. What security is there to ensure that only the guilty are named?

Have we learned nothing from the media naming the wrong person as the shooter at Sandy Hook elementary school?

To me justice would be to see that all involved are arrested and prosecuted via the law. And in this case it is obvious that some of the participants are being given special treatment. Some times special actions are needed when those in charge of enforcing the law become corrupt.

Attacking Anonymous distracts from the crime of rape.

Do you think Robin Hood was a villain?

And with Anonymous' action on this. It may be the only justice this poor girl receives.

wait wut

ya mean us peons don't have to just grab our ankles while the media is on bended knee ?

woot

article I have seen. The local media has done very little coverage on the case. High school
athletes have gotten away with stuff like that for ever around here, it is always covered up.
I saw an incident myself several years ago, a drunk high school football player wrecked a stolen car, never saw or heard a word in the media about the wreck, a stolen car or any drunk driving charge, nothing.
