The subject matter is rape. When reporting things pertaining to it, nicknames aren’t appropriate.
It’s a grave matter, and only formal names should be used.
That’s my take on it. It’s okay for you to disagree.
It is a heightened matter as it involves the program.
I’m not being politically correct, these kids at class A div 1 are under a scope. That scope belongs to the leadership of every school.
“It’s a grave matter, and only formal names should be used...”
Gotta agree with you. The title struck me wrong too. And, you can believe these rapists were not “informally” charged with rape...they were formally charged. In addition, I’ll bet the defense attorney addresses the judge as “Your Honor”...not “yo, dude”.
Some nitpicking and general ruminations (a bit off the beaten path, maybe, but) :
(1) How did the surveillance camera see what was taking place inside a dorm room? The authorities were looking for something else, and just “accidentally” discovered an alleged rape?
(Given the recent concerns about a Big Brother state,
that explanation sounds chilling.”Yeah, we weren’t looking for YOU; so we didn’t have a warrant; but we just happened to notice something suspicious while we were lawfully looking for something else...”)
(2) Whenever I read that the media has a policy not to name rape victims, I have to ask why it names the accused before they are convicted. I’m assuming these guys
are guilty; but too many names get wrecked by media frenzy (think Duke lacrosse).
