Bay Shore High School's Class of 2006 homecoming king admitted in a Suffolk courtroom Friday to taking part in what prosecutors called one of the more horrifying crimes in recent history -- the beating, rape and robbery at gunpoint of a young couple on their first date.
Recalling talking with his co-defendants after driving away from the brutal crime, Douglas Payton, 18, said, "We started to laugh about it."
Payton pleaded guilty Friday to first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and first-degree robbery for the Dec. 3 attack in Bay Shore. Newsday is not naming the couple because they were victims of sex crimes.

My outrage grows... Reading the article again, though it makes me want to barf, I see that Payton was out on bail?!! They're lucky he didn't committ another horrific crime. Why was he allowed on the streets??
(No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo! )
I'd leave that up to the victim and her family.
Anyone believe this is their first crime?
I am to damn old to fight. Therefore I carry a 1911 45ACP.

The war on white people goes on.
Notice what he doesn't say. He doesn't say, "We all felt bad about what we had done." It's just, "what happened."
"Awareness Week"? What, "awareness" of potential robbery and rape targets?
"I would be waiting there to administer real justice"
Now I DO understand the origin of your wrath but think about it:
You go off on recently released convict.YOU get put in jail and possibly do more time than HE has done.
Plus perp sues you and ends up getting your house as"damages".
Not very logical,says Mr. Spock.
The person who committed this crime is a sociopath. He did not become a sociopath on the commission of this particularly heinous crime. He has been a sociopath for quite a well. The subtext to this story goes beyond the criminal. Were those who celebrated him by electing him Prom King blind to his character or were they validating his known anti-social tendencies with a public pronouncement? In his circles I am sure the disbelief is similar to the criminal's, it is not they do not believe that he did crime, they have trouble believing he got caught.
Fair enough. If you were her father, what justice do you propose?
"The war on white people goes on"
No,the war on ALL decent law abiding citizens goes on.Most victims of black criminals are black ALSO.
Please don't sound like you are trying to emulate the boys on Stormfront.That should be beneath you.
Yep, just like during the Clinton era, where there were no such things as war, terrorism, pollution, poverty, umemployment, hurricanes and crime.
God, my best friend's on a shooting spree
Stop it, Debbie, you're embarrassing me
How could you do what you just did
Are you having a really bad period
It never changes. Different day, same animals. Oh, I'm sorry, am I being racist?
And why would they need duct tape for it? I'm nervous just thinikng about the possibilities.
No,you are not being racist as long as don't limit your"animals"comment to only one ethnic group.
