Rape of a basketball player, accusations of abuse and bullying tear apart a Tenn. high school

First they heard the screams.

Karl Williams, the assistant coach for the Ooltewah High School basketball team, hurried downstairs to the rooms where the 14 teenage players were staying for the duration of their four day tournament in Gatlinburg, Tenn.

There he found a 15-year-old freshman player covered in blood, urine and feces, Hamilton County District Attorney General Neal Pinkston told ESPN. Two sophomore players were holding the boy down, while a third teammate, a senior, shoved a pool cue up his rectum. The freshman was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery to repair his bladder and colon, which had been ruptured by the cue. The three alleged assailants were arrested and charged with aggravated rape.

But coaches never reported the Dec. 21 incident to local authorities or child services, according to investigators.

And meanwhile, the basketball team continued to play.

I’d say that it wasn’t “black homo rape” but more of “prison-culture driven” initiation.

Google: “sagging”

Still, the use of such terms is a backhanded acquiescence to the Lavender Mafia.

Actually no.
Use of such language takes a flamethrower to the lavender mafia, and follows that up with a crate of thermite grenades. For centuries the notion was advanced successfully that sodomy against a boy was a less serious matter than rape of a young girl. People aren't buying that anymore.

Homosexuals may have one tolerance in public, but their violence doesn't get glossed over like it once did. And this linguistic shift is evidence of that.

What is not being said is that Ooltewah is white, very white. These “kids” were more than likely bused in from Chattanooga. No, your are not allowed your white flight to raise a family safely. You could not pay me to put a child in a public school.

If you ever need evidence that Pharisees aren't extinct, just click on a public school thread.

Yes, we’ve all heard you say about 3 times that you don’t think it’s rape to get held down and have something shoved up your butt.

You are kinda focusing on the wrong thing here.

So, you agree with the Lavender Mafia that rectal intrusion by device is simply sexual and not assault?

POTUS-2 John Adams, who tried several “buggery” cases in the colonies, would be extremely disappointed in you.

I have observed that. I guess my favorite part is the absolute hypocrisy from so called Christians. Make no mistake, I am only slagging off faux Christians.The two I have tangled w/ were not the sharpest knives in the drawer, so that took some of the fun out of any back & forth. Like this one here. Screaming their hate from their froth filled mouth.

Faster Pussycat, kill kill...........

Hello? If you were on a business trip and something happened to an office computer and it was damaged, wouldn’t you call your boss?

School staff away with children would be required to report any injuries to the children in their care to the school immediately. In this case, it sounds like not even the principal was alerted.

Your statistics are lacking depth.

http://cachouston.org/child-sexual-abuse-facts/

“Family structure is the most important risk factor in child sexual abuse. Children who live with two married biological parents are at low risk for abuse.”

That’s the one that matters.

I agree with your point.

From the same article you posted here are the points that back up my point that children are more likely to be abused at home not school.

•Most sexual abuse of children occurs in a residence, typically that of the victim or perpetrator. 84% of sexual victimization of children under age 12 occurs in a residence. Even older children are most likely to be assaulted in a residence. 71% of sexual assaults on children age 12-17 occur in a residence (Snyder, 2000).
•Sexual assaults on children are most likely to occur at 8 a.m., noon and 3-4 p.m. For older children, ages 12-17, there is also a peak in assaults in the late evening hours (Snyder, 2000).
•1 in 7 incidents of sexual assault perpetrated by juveniles occur on school days in the after-school hours between 3 and 7 p.m., with a peak from 3 – 4 pm (Snyder, 2000).

The rest of us believe that this is rape.
That it earns the penalty Rape earns.

You are the one on this thread who is all upset that people will not settle for a lessor descriptor.

It ain’t rape, it’s sodomy.
The latter being a physical assault, the former implying a “natural, sexual” act albeit violent.

You offer the same argument of Billy Jeff:
As long as Monica “put it in her mouth”, it wasn’t sexual relations.
Right?

Peace and OUT.

Sodomy by both standard usage and legal jurisprudence is not by definition undesired, it simply implies rectal penetration.

Contrary to your incorrect understanding force is not implied.

Rape, however does imply force.

For centuries homosexual rapists were punished merely for performing an unnatural act and sidestepped the use of force.

No more.

Apparently, there are 2 guesses available; front-row and back-row.

Victim is 15, so I'm guessing the front-row boy.

"But coaches never reported the Dec. 21 incident to local authorities".

They were away at a tournament in Gatlinburg, Tenn. It was reported to Gatlinburg police, who arrested the assailants.

That’s a photo from last year’s team. The victim was a freshman. He isn’t in the photo.

The back row candidate doesn’t look like a freshman to me.
