Slightly adjusted.

Accepted.

Don't forget this one: "boys will be boys"

What's with the homoerotic implications of hazing practices as well? I've always found that baffling. Mostly because the cultures that promote hazing tend to be intensely homophobic.

Even that doesn't work. He's 19.


I see what you're trying to get at but homoerotic is not the word I would use for literal brutal sexual assault.

 

[Vladimir Putin]

He's got all the makings of a future cop. He should skip police academy and go straight to the pros.

So fucking sadly true...

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Nah, they are that delusional:

Indeed, they'll just spout black on white crime "stats"

 

[theignoramus]

Maybe someone with better knowledge can explain that, but I was thinking that given the nature of a criminal case, the burden of proof is probably higher. There may not be any witnesses to a lot of this stuff, or at least none willing to come forward.

It would probably help in the civil suit though... I think?

They interviewed 30 witnesses and there's a hospital report confirming the kid's internal injuries.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Nah, they are that delusional:

Yep. I know all about it.

The Right has learned how to appropriate discrimination against people of color, especially black folks, and weaponize it against people on the other side.

I believe that they know what their privilege is, and pretend that they don't, as acknowledging helps to weaken it and validate concerns that we're not all playing on an equal playing field.

 

[TheStruggler]

now what do you think happened if you reverse the skin colour of the victim and person who plead guilty......

 

[Reeks]

How does it not being labelled a sex crime make sense?

He shoved a hanger into his rectum. That shit didn't just magically find its way there and he sure as shit had sexual thoughts prior to just doing it.

Right? It's literally rape and extremely violent rape at that. Sexual motivation of the perpetrator has nothing to do with whether or not rape occurred - I think that's confusing people.

✓ The south
✓ Black victim
✓ White perpetrator
✓ No jail time

Sounds about right

don't forget mentally disabled. Like talk about white privilege. Holy fuck. Like if you're any shade darker than pasty white and you just look at someone in a way they think is threatening it would be a huge issue.

This is just crazy. Fuck the DA here too, giving this shithole a lesser charge to admit to.

he maintains his innocence while acknowledging prosecutors would likely be able to win a conviction at trial.

And that is the worst part of this. This piece of shit thinks hes innocent.

 

[Cartman86]

The being cruel to a mentally disabled person in high school part makes this even more unsurprising to me. That was rampant when I was in school.

 

[Venture]

I'm imagining a future boss of his finding out he did this...

and then I realized some sort of nepotism will likely be involved anyway.

Absolutely disgusting. And judging by his apparent history, it is very unlikely that he will be repentant about this. The best that can happen is this crime sticking with him wherever he goes, causing potential employees to look into the case and find it listed online in full details. Will that bring justice? Of course not.

Cases like these need to be taken seriously to the fullest possible extent or else these deplorable actions will spread, perhaps even outside the locker room. This is a case in particular where Howard needs to be made an example of, or else the court is condoning both a hate crime and a rape.

It sounds like he won't even end up with a criminal record out of this.

But Howard will avoid prison or jail time and could ultimately have his conviction dismissed if he successfully completes probation without violations or committing new crimes.

Not sure though. Does having a conviction dismissed mean your criminal record is cleared?

Employers just google your name these days and his name and picture will be all over the news archives. But I dont think it would matter, this guy probably has a family name that will keep him insulated from all that.

 

[Koomaster]

Is the excuse that he 'accidentally' 'kicked' a coat hanger up someone's ass? Like fuck off.

True enough. On both points unfortunately.

 

[Reeks]

Yep. Another person assaulted the young man by inserting the hanger into the victim's rectum and then this fucker "accidentally kicked it in while trying to kick the victim." So there were two rapists.

 

[Jenov]

“Everyone is more concerned with these young sociopaths than the victim of their violence.”

Yup. An unfortunate recurring theme.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Ready for an update?

Not racist and not a rape. 300 hours of community service. And people on the east coast have no idea what they're talking about.

Fucking garbage. Fuck these people.

300 hours of community service.

Disgusting.

Hope the victims family sues his into poverty.

 

[Mechanized]

Well this is sickening. Fucker doesn't deserve to live, let alone get off on fucking community service.

 

[sinkfla87]

300 hours of community service.

Disgusting.

Hope the victims family sues his into poverty.

And I'm sure he won't even have to do all 300 of it. Seriously, I hope they lawyer up and destroy this piece of shit.

 

[Glix]

I love that we tell kids to stand up to bullying and to report it to adults and society understands now and the kids will be protected...

When its still the same shit as always.

 

[BlueTsunami]

"Stoker said. “Another individual who was involved said [the victim] was called ‘fried chicken’ because [he] said it was his favorite food ... I don’t think it’s a racial slur.”

Wish there was a way to hold blatantly racist judges accountable

 

[samoscratch]

Fuming right now....
I know that sadly this is not a new occurrence but just completely horrifying...

 

[Maximus.]

This is fucked up.

 

[Jombie]

I'm sure a black kid would also get community service. Come on, guys.

 

[Rorschach]

For all the people who sent the letters, told me I should die, you wasted your time

Damn, so he took it out on the case.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I'm sure a black kid would also get community service. Come on, guys.

Community service in the afterlife I'm sure.

 

[Breads]

White people get away with crazy shit in the US. Absolutely disgusting to see another hate crime or rape getting wrist slapped.

 

[Raguel]

God damn it there is no justice in this world.

 

[Ratrat]

Even if you ignore race, it should be a hatecrime since he was disabled. Also how the fuck is that not rape?

 

[Derp2Herp]

What the fuck? Somewhat similar situation in California and that dude got 180 days of jail and 3 years felony probation...and only because he agreed to testify against a teacher. Hell the attack wasn't even successful.

 

[mr_nexus]

Disgusting. I guess it's just another case of (white)boys being (white)boys.
