One of the witnesses of last month's gang rape of a 15-year-old girl at her homecoming dance said that while he could have stopped the attack that he watched for 20 minutes he didn't feel accountable for what happened.
I feel like I could have done something, but I don't feel like I have any responsibility for anything that happened," the unidentified 16-year-old witness told ABC's San Francisco affiliate KGO-TV.
Two witnesses told the television station they didn't call police during the more than two-hour-long assault on the girl because they didn't want to be called a snitches.
For the first time since the Oct. 24 gang rape, details are emerging about the vicious attack on the defenseless teen. Witnesses have now said that the victim was repeatedly kicked in the head as a group of boys took turns raping her during the more than two-hour attack, even using a foreign object to penetrate her.
The witness said that he didn't have a cell phone to call for help and was scared to tell anyone what was happening. Even his parents didn't know he saw the rape occur, he said. "She was pretty quiet. I thought she was like dead for a minute, but then I saw her moving around and I was like, 'Oh,'" the witness told KGO. "I really wanted to help her, but I don't know, I just didn't."
Police have arrested and charged six men, ranging in age from 15 to 21, in the Oct. 24 gang rape during Richmond High School's homecoming dance.
Police said that a total of 10 males were suspected of taking part in the gang rape. Twenty others, according to authorities, stood by and watched, some even snapping photographs on their cell phones, while the teen girl was assaulted.

Isn’t multiculturism wonderful?
From Ms Banks’ 11-7-09 article:
“In the Richmond gang rape case, I was surprised that so many readers made race the subtext. And they took me to task for not mentioning the race of the victim or her attackers.
“The discomfort you folks feel in acknowledging racial attacks on whites prevents you from writing the facts,” one reader’s e-mail said.
I admit to feeling “discomfort” as I tried to get a grip on the racial dimensions of the assault. The victim was white; her attackers were described to me by students as mostly Latino, with one black and one white.
But I didn’t mention race in my column because I don’t believe that explains the attack. None of the teenagers mentioned race until I pressed them on it; several even thought the victim was Latina.”
Logical consequense
Like dead? Does this idiot mean that he thought she was close to being dead but was actually still alive? God, I hate the way people talk nowadays.
I suspect they were less concerned about being *called* snitches, than about being *treated as* snitches. There’s a 15 year old boy lying in a Florida hospital bed in critical condition, from the burns he received at the hands of a bunch of juvenile punks who decided to teach a “snitch” a lesson. The leader of the pack had been arrested for stealing a bike and released again almost immediately.
Until we reestablish law and order on the streets, and make it routine to mete out serious punishment for first offenses of “minor” crimes, I don’t really blame kids who decide it’s better not to be a “snitch”.
Anyone who stands around and observes such an act and does nothing...I blame. There is no rationalization for that. Until that is understood, animals will be animals
Hang these sub-human scumbags now. The road to recovering our culture is going to be long and hard, and it starts with snapping necks.
Darwin says we are just animals.
