The alleged gang rape of an 11-year-old girl by at least 18 boys and young men has sparked shame and outrage in a tiny Texas town, but it has also stirred racial tensions that threaten to split the East Texas hamlet...
The rape allegedly occurred last November, and the list of suspects has been growing as arrests keep coming. It's not clear whether more arrests are in the works.
The suspects range in age from 14 to 26, include stars on the high school's basketball team as well as the son of a school board member...
"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....
Cleveland police began investigating the rape in December of last year after cell phone video showing the alleged sex attack started circulating among students at Cleveland schools, according to court documents. The video shows the girl engaged in sexual acts with several men.

“My God. What the hell is wrong with people?”
They generally have an IQ of around 85 and have been taught since their earliest years that they are special, this being reinforced by their families. They can’t think beyond the moment, especially the males.
It’s a sad thing but we are responsible.
She probably knew them and thought it was ok. She is a child, children are trusting of those they know.

You know, not too many weeks ago I tried to watch a movie on Netflix with my husband. Samuel L. Jackson played in it, but the title of it escapes me at the moment. I kept turning my head and finally left the room because of the violence in the movie. I tried to watch it, but just couldnt. Just too gory for me.
Now I find myself wishing that the character were real and here now to avenge the evil perpetrated on this child. I could darn well do it myself given the opportunity.
The scar she will have to carry for the rest of her life will run deep and her world will forever be marred by this ... this ... barbaric act. Words just fail me.
May God in His mercy fade the memory day by day until its only a blur for the little girl and grant her a special joy to override such an horrific deed.
The evil, evil, evil, eeeevil bastards. The lot of them.
And who the hell was Quanell IX???
I read it in another article. Here’s the link.
You really are naieve arn’t you.I doubt thats the way it went down. Just my two cents worth, but, we are talking about Cleveland Texas, right! This is the kind of place where you don’t go down to the local feed store and try to blend in when you are not from there.

Quanell X is a real piece of work. Quanell IX has a lot to answer for.

“The penalty for getting into a car as a child should not be rape.”
Exactly!
I understand, my point being, most people don’t understand what East Texas is all about or the people that live there.Frankly, I am not surprised this happened and am more surprised it got reported and made the news.
i think the color of the girl is relevant in the fact that tensions would be a hell of lot hotter if it was a white girl that was raped by these animals.
To the Hispanic community it does especially if she is from a devout Catholic family.
I heard the number of suspects depends a lot on the whim of the DA, and what YOU AND I would consider a perp in this case would bring the perp number much close to TWENTY-EIGHT.
28 dudes raped that girl, not 18.

OK, but if one had read the article, one would know the color/nationality of the poor victim. The racial angle is that ONLY the Brothers are being charged.
