ONE ******* YEAR. What the hell. You get longer for downloading illigal music. Oh its because theyre young and didnt know what they were doing. Figures. Poor babies.
 
Yeah..... I can't really comment on it yet because I'm too ******* angry.
 
I saw that earlier. It's insulting enough that the girl had to be humiliated by those ***** but then for them to have a pathetic sentence like that.
 
I literaly feel sick when I think of how in 2013 women are still seen as less important than men.
Spoilered incase of triggering/upsetting anyone <3
How rape and abuse is not taken seriously, how men ( and even some women) think that rape is ever excusable by the way a woman lives her life, dresses etc.

ETA: Just read that the girls mother said she forgives the boy who raped her daughter. He cried and said to her mother 'im sorry' her mother replied 'i know and I forgive you'

Umm. what the actual ****.
 
Sometimes forgiveness may be the only way to let go of the angst she has for her child, and put her energies into helping the girl. The court system is going to do what it does, sadly. Juveniles? Please.

ONE ****ING YEAR. What the hell. You get longer for downloading illigal music. Oh its because theyre young and didnt know what they were doing. Figures. Poor babies.

I'm seeing media coverage elsewhere that is focussing on the poor boys who've had their lives ruined by this. Holy hell.

If it hadn't been for the group Anonymous making the videos and emails public, no one would have ever been charged with anything. The town was doing its best to just sweep the whole thing under the rug. I thought I read where a few people came forward and said this wasn't the first time this has happened, there have been other girls over the years who kept quiet out of fear.

What girl would feel safe coming forward when the DA's son is on the football team.

Just for clarification:

Lipps sentenced Mays to a minimum of two years in a juvenile correctional facility. Richmond received a minimum of one year. Juvenile authorities could decide to keep both in custody until they turn 21.
They must undergo treatment and will have to register as sex offenders, Lipps ruled.

I do agree that the sentences were light. The judge, however, was limited to sentencing them to a juvenile facility and could not hold them past their 21st birthday.
 
The one guy got an additional year because (as far as I can tell) he was also guilty under child porn laws, since he took photos and the victim was underage.
 
Another reminder why I'm glad I no longer have a TV - almost all of what passes for news on TV these days is just awful in so many ways.
