From the article:
“All of the defendants arrested are African-American and the girl is Hispanic”
The penalty for getting into a car as a child should not be rape. Kill the bastards.
Cleveland, Texas.
PEr the article:
The hardscrabble town of Cleveland, which is 45 miles from Houston, has fewer than 8,000 residents and since the saw mill closed the biggest employers are Wal-Mart and a nearby prison. In a town this small, everyone is a neighbor, but that small town ambience is being severely strained.
Same town, the rape and political corruption both happened in Cleveland TX.
It is my view that your position is a "blame the victim" position. Regardless of whether this "CHILD" should have known better, there is absolutely no defense of MEN treating an 11 year old child in this manner. Making such a statement as ". . . has paid a heavy price . . . " is IMHO shameful.
"Every adult male that had sex with this child should go to prison, I don't care what the color is. But I do not believe black males are the only ones that had contact with this young child," said Quanell X, the leader of Houston's New Black Panther Party. "It appears to me there's only been the selective prosecution of one community, which is African American." ... In addition, Cleveland is embroiled in a political scandal where three city council members are facing a recall election following complaints of corruption. All three of those city council members are African American...
I got the rope.
To heck with the rope. Bring the log chain.
the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, aching, coughing, stuffy-head, fever, so you can rest name.
Well, crap. I didn’t realize there was a place in Texas called Cleveland.
If y’all remember back a few years ago, a kid was set on fire in splendora texas, cleveland is just down the road a piece, not to mention plumb grove also in that area. I don’t know how to explain it folks but that area just ain’t right for child rearin.I make jokes about a coworker that lives in cleveland, it is apalacia in texas.
I’m NOT blaming the victim. She needs a lot of support at this point and is lucky to be alive. As a victim of a sexual assault by a senior NCO while in the military, I know what I’m talking about. In the future she’ll be careful about who she trusts.
And I don’t respect your opinion, period, as you didn’t carefully read my post. The rapists will be up for execution if found guilty of rape. Since so many of them recorded their ‘acts’ and showed the results to acquaintances, there is bound to a lot of executions.
They believe there are up to 28 involved. 2 arrested are college basketball players. The family and the girl are receiving threats. This is a disgusting crime. Prayers for that child, may Gods love heal her.
Holder’s people.....move along, nothing to see here... move along.
Ok, which FReeper posted this on the news site?
“So now if black people commit a crime and are arrested it is suddenly racism? Are the cops supposed to arrest a token white guy for every black guy just to appease the black community? Unless there is evidence that a white guy was involved in the rape but not arrested, be quiet. That race card is getting pretty worn out when you try to make black rapists the victims.”
Well, guess what? I really don’t care if you respect my opinion. I read your post, and I understood what you were stating - that the child was at fault for not making a better choice than to enter a vehicle with adult males inside. You’re the one with the problem here, not I. You should feel ashamed for making that comment, and I am appalled that you went to that place.
Why do they believe there are up to 28 involved? Have they identified that many from videos and pictures? Or did their accomplices rat them out? Why have the other 10 not being arrested.
