Reply #28: Not to point out the obvious here but has there been a trial?

I do not mean to make light of this poor young man's brutal assault. My heart aches for him and my prayers are with him. I, for one, feel rather justified in thinking his attackers are vile, despicable creatures who should rot in jail.

In fact, I feel that way for all victims of violence and rape (yes, nonconscentual sodomy is rape). How perfectly vile it feels when the outpouring of concern isn't directed towards the "alleged" victim but rather the "accused", yes?
