White HS football players in Idaho charged with raping black, disabled teammate with a coat hanger

[davidn3600]

When a teammate held out his arms after football practice in their high school locker-room, the boy thought he was about to get a hug.

Instead, he got viciously raped, authorities say.

As the teammate restrained the boy, another football player allegedly thrust a coat hanger into the boy’s rectum. Then a third teammate kicked the coat hanger several times, according to a criminal complaint.

The Oct. 23, 2015 incident has rocked the tiny town of Dietrich, Idaho. This spring, after several months of investigation, the state Attorney General’s office filed sexual assault charges against all three alleged attackers. Two of the teenagers are being charged as adults and could face life in prison, under Idaho law.

Earlier this month, the case took an even darker turn when the boy’s family filed a $10 million lawsuit against Dietrich High School.

According to the lawsuit, the alleged rape wasn’t a one-off but rather the culmination of months of racist abuse by white students against the boy, who is black.

The boy “was taunted and called racist names by other members of the team which names included ‘Kool-Aid’ ‘chicken eater’ ‘watermelon’ and (the N-word),” the suit alleges.

The civil complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Idaho also claims that one of the students charged with sexual assault displayed a Confederate flag and demanded the boy recite a racist song titled “Notorious KKK.”

Apparently coaches and administrators knew about the abuse and did nothing.

1. America is over

This is beyond sick racist behavior - this is sanctioned institutional racism.

4. Maybe - probably just football uber alles

This is beyond sick racist behavior - this is sanctioned institutional racism.

If you've been following the Baylor story, there it's mostly black football players raping white women. Football seems to live in its own society with its own laws, or lack thereof.

5. I hear you

Still sick

14. Teams raping teammates is really a regular thing, the racism is added vile sauce to be

sure but it is not always a factor in these ritualized and very often school sanctioned attacks.

Both from this year. It's ongoing, it's sports culture and always has been.

2. K&R

I hope they can get decent juries to find these bastards guilty. How can anyone condone such violence against a kid? How can parents knowingly teach hatred like this?

[Lancero]

3. High schools will shove pretty much anything under the rug to keep their precious football teams.

One of the rapists put out a statement after one of his hearings last month, pretty easy to see how little remorse he has for his actions and how assured he was that this case would go under the rug.

Here's hoping he gets life.

8. Football Uber Alles. (n/t)

[Iggo]

6. Then the coaches and administrators should be charged as accessories after the fact.

They're mandatory reporters, right?

Throw the fucking book at them.

7. The youth of today are a mighty, progressive force

"Same as it ever was"

Ughhhh.

Love and healing thoughts for the young victim.

9. and the black football players

did they just stand by and watch?

[Frank Cannon]

12. Black football players? In Idaho?

Surely, you jest.

[moonbabygo]

13. I should have read everything before

I posted this. I didn't realize it was an all white, well mostly white school.

I didn't think they existed anymore how naive of me

[Frank Cannon]

15. I'm from Idaho. Most of the schools are that way.

There are very few black faces in Idaho, which is why it's so popular with the Aryan Nations and the white gentry moving in from other states. Idaho is a "master race" paradise.

16. And the relevance of that question is precisely what...?

10. Those boys sound like future Trump voters to me.

11. Life in prison is not long enough

I hope they rot.

[TrappedInUtah]

17. What in the actual hell?

How do high school students even get this demented at such a young age? Grossly deviant behavior like this is usually a learned thing. I wonder if they were molested by a priest/uncle/etc or something? In any event they're clearly defective and need to be returned to sender. People like this are broken, cannot be fixed and will never contribute any value to our society.
