Hurray! Now, lock them up! I hope they have to register as sex offenders for the rest of their miserable lives.

Geez. I thought that because the young lady involved didn’t say “NO”, she was giving tacit consent for them to do what they wanted. WRONG!!!! Maybe some demokkkrat should have “told them not to rape”. The new MTV generation. It’s not just about playing music videos anymore. Possibly they’ll now have the opportunity to experience rape themselves. They’ll have a whole new meaning for the term “wide recievers”.

This is a message to young potential criminals of every ilk; Don’t allow your buddies to make a video your crimes.

Yup! Pretty sure it’s mandatory for them to register. Their lives as they knew it are OVER! Sometimes actions have consequences.

They should lock them up in PA so Sandusky could be their new coach.

I’m sure Penn State will have recruiters waiting for them outside of the juvenile detention facility.

2 Steubenville football players ...
What does being football players have to do with it? Why not two "teens" or two "high school students?"

Headline of previous article: “As rape trial opens, prosecutor says girl was ‘too impaired to say no’”

Prosecutor, esp a female, should know better. It’s ‘too impaired to say “yes”’, although it’s not as if a 16yo girl can grant consent (legally)

The boys were 16 and 17. Most states say the underage girl becomes legally capable of consent if the other party is close to her age. (This is stupid, but it's necessary if we're going to have a society of teen fornication without a lot of criminal trials.)

Personally, I think some parents ought to be in the slamner over this too. What parent lets his/her child attend a booze party. What parent allows his/her child to have such a party. Don’t these people have curfews for their kids or at least an adult present at the festivities?

In Ohio she can.

Because it furthers the perverted libtard, feminist, socialist, anti-male, pinko narrative:

1. Football is a violent game, played by violent men.

2. All men are violent, therefore all men rape.

3. The only way to ensure peace and harmony across the planet is to destroy evil and violent male-dominated societies.

4. The scumbag socialist propogandists use stories like this to assert to the ignorant masses that every man is capable of this despicable crime.

The “girl” (about same age as the “boys”) has been declared “innocent” of any and all responsibility for her own actions. The perfect “feminist” of the future. There’s a lesson in this for teenage girls, too; but evidently it has been missed.

Most states also have a law that states min 18 or 21 to obtain alcohol. Who ever furnished it should be punished it as well.
WE as a Nation have exposed our kids to too much vice at too young an age.
