I read somewhere that there are up to 25 COACHES who knew about the rape and didn’t bother reporting it.
Which begs the question (and I have no doubt what you say is true..), what High school football team needs 25 coaches!!!
Take a look at the Steubenville Football web site (run by adults) http://www.rollredroll.com/football.htm
Do you get the distinct impression that some adults in that town really need to get a life?
Well we know for a fact that there were a minimum of 6 parents that did a lousy job of raising their kids.
Seems like nobody is innocent in this case. Not one person stepped up to do what is right. Not the kids, not the adults.
The assumption that people are mere animals and that “everybody is doing it” could easily lead an unthinking person to presume that by just being in that situation this girl was looking to be had. If the guys hadn’t taken pictures and bragged, she wouldn’t even have known it happened. It would have been just the same old usual kids acting like animals while everybody laughs and thinks it’s no big deal. Including the sex ed teachers, coaches, parents, Hollywood, etc.
The fact is that if you turn off a person’s conscience you make them into a mere animal for a time, and you’re going to get animal behavior. And all those elements (sex ed teachers, coaches, parents, Hollywood, politicians, etc) have been turning off not only these kids’ consciences but the whole society’s conscience - saying this is all human beings (including our kids) are capable of so we should just make sure they can do these behaviors “safely”. Drugs and alcohol just finish the conscience-disabling.
But there is no way to “safely” engage in this garbage - either the intoxication or the sex. It always takes a toll, even if that toll is just (/s) to turn a human being into an animal, void of human compassion, dignity, and perception of what is sacred.
Abortion advocates tell us that there aren’t any victims in abortion. Just kill the defenseless and everything is all better. How does that differ from the mentality of drunk boys thinking that if a girl is passed-out-drunk and defenseless, just do what you want and everything is fine? The aborted baby doesn’t know what happened to it (”isn’t sentient”, according to the arguments) and neither did this girl (she wasn’t “sentient” at the time either), so no harm done to either, if you believe the “logic” of the abortion advocates. Like Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Sandra Fluke, etc...
What we have in this episode is a glimpse into the DEPRAVITY of all the lies our culture has accepted. There is no moral difference between Nancy Pelosi and these 2 boys, except that these boys did it for fun because the society was going to give them a pass (they thought) and Nancy Pelosi does it for power, while the society gives her a pass.
This case is a mirror for our society to see itself as it really is, in all its ugly hypocrisy and depravity. Unfortunately, I don’t think the people who have shaped this society to be this way will ever see this as their own handiwork.
