In reply to the discussion: Anonymous Leaks Horrifying Video of Steubenville High Schoolers Joking About Raping a Teenager ‘Dead [View all]BlancheSplanchnik
(20,219 posts)130. ok... but that doesnt nullify the difficulty in getting punishment for RAPISTS
and stopping them through the court system.
Anonymous' s record is an unrelated argument.
Bringing their actions out in the open is GREAT, because violence against women (and male BONDING over it) THRIVES in secrecy! And if they were there and didn't at least call the cops, they are COMPLICIT.
No such thing as innocent bystanders here.
