When you tell people that our society glorifies sex and power, they look at you like you have another head growing out of your neck. They look this way because they like what they watch on television. They like going to the movies They love their music These things cannot be bad, can they? I do not want you to think that I am anti any of these things. I watch T.V., go to movies, and listen to music. I am also not one that thinks that these things are ultimately responsible for our actions or the actions of others. We sin because we like it, and we like it because we are sinful. But, there is something to be said about our media and violence.
When we look at the fact that our entertainment has become increasingly more violent over the last several decades, we fail to ask what the effects have been. We do not ask possibly because we do not like the answer. We, as a society, have grown more violent with the growth in pretend violence in our culture. This is not to even mention our sexual promiscuity.
Couple our propensity for sex and violence with our diminished respect for women and we have a fearful state of mind in young men. And this has manifested itself in North Carolina.
WSOCTV reports
Five teens have been charged in a violent sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl in Mint Hill, police said.
Officers said they found the victim naked in a field next to an apartment complex on Stoney Trace Drive, off Margaret Wallace Road, Thursday afternoon.
Police said they found a female wearing no clothes lying in the grass near the building and that it appeared she was the victim of a violent sexual assault.
These young boys, having spent the day drinking and partying together, decided that this girl would be their new source of entertainment. They saw her as a thing to be used and not as a human being. And they definitely did not see her as someone made in the image of God. We know this by the charges filed against the three charged as adults.
WSOCTV continued
Jhovany Roman, 17, and Felix Reyes, 16, and the two juveniles, who police said are both 15 years old, were charged with one count of first-degree rape, one count of first-degree sex offense, one count of assault by strangulation inflicting physical injury and three counts felony conspiracy.
This young lady was left as a piece of trash. She was assaulted, sexually abused, and strangled. Once the boys were finished with her, they left her as she was; naked and unconscious. It is unclear, but it seems that they had no fear of her telling the police who they were. This may be because they had left her for dead.
Breitbart reports
A member of Jhovany Roman's family said all the teens were truant from school on Thursday and were having a party in the apartment complex. A witness also said that there was video taken of the rape.
You see, to these young men, this was a game. Their sexual assault was something to relive and share with their friends. Now, this does not mean that their choice of entertainment was the source of their evil actions. No, their wicked hearts were the source. But what their choice of entertainment has done is promote and justify these desires in their minds.
When we allow our children to watch shows and movies, and listen to music that glorifies thugs, rape, and murder, then we encourage them to be thugs. When we stop telling young boys to treat girls and women different, then they begin to see them simply as objects to fulfill their needs. Not much different than a source of food.
If we do not wake up to the fact that we are raising a generation of vicious men, then we will begin to see a real rape culture develop. And no one will be left who cares to stop the madness.
The link between increased numbers of illegals and increasing crime. Trump is the only guy out there drawing that correlation in public.
These rapists were illegal ?
Fox will demand Film of the rape.
Aren’t these some of the often-praised “dreamers”? I guess these criminal aliens were dreaming of raping an American Citizen? I wonder if Yebbie considers this merely another “act of love”?
No, just soot them in the back of the head!
We are all going to have to outfit ourselves with obsidian blades. Not human.
Give them five years then deport.

How about castration the courthouse lawn with a rusty butcher knife? (my mom's remedy)
All part of Obama’s genocidal plan.

Bears repeating. Should be written into law.
We used to have that. It was called lynching. They made that illegal in the 60's, as part of the "Civil Rights" movement.
Think hard about that. This regime would love to have another tool with which to track down the resistance.
Heads on pikes, will slow the reoccurrence of this !
I prefer the baseball bat/ exacto knife/ blowtorch method. Beat with bat until swollen, remove swollen parts with exacto knife, cauterize with blowtorch.
Is everything about Trump ? Why would this even be on his radar...?
Have you been asleep since July? Trump is the one who opened his campaign by saying he would build a wall, because Mexico is funneling criminals and rapists into this country. His statement caused a huge firestorm in which Macy's discontinued his necktie merchandise (and 30,000 people then cut up their Macy's cards, and now Macy's is closing several stores), Latino groups tried, and failed, to trash his candidacy (and now the hispanic TV station that canceled Trump's Miss Universe broadcast is being sued for $500 million for breach of contract); yet his support from people fed up with the impacts of illegal immigration has only grown stronger. Trump is the undisputed leader in the discussion of the harms caused to American citizens by illegal aliens.
Please show where these rapists were illegals...
I am highly informed, even before July, I’m just not suffering from TDS...
Same where I live. That's why I burn with anger whenever anyone says that Christians should approve of illegal immigration. Does God approve of people sneaking into a country and then dealing drugs, raping, robbing, murdering, and assaulting? Yes, I know they "don't all do it." But even the "best" of them are lying, stealing, coveting, and refusing to be in subjection to the authorities over them.
By its fruits we shall know illegal immigration.
Bernie Sanders is VERY interested in this story...

Wise move. I told my kids we were “too busy” to watch TV. TV was for people who didn’t know what to do.
