Two thirteen year old girls were raped by 17 year old men. Obviously the men were not punished, as usual. As various esteemed members of society carefully lay out, they did nothing wrong, since paedophilia is merely a man's due and not a crime. The punishment for being the mother of a raped child (or perhaps for reporting it? I'm not sure) included being fired from her job, run out of town, probable arson, public humiliation, ect. The child, likewise, is guilty of being raped and has been severely punished.
“Just because we don’t like the way teenagers act doesn’t necessarily make it a crime.”
“F--- yea. That’s what you get for bein a skank : ),”
“I guess they’re just going to have to get over it.”
“If her name begins with A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, she wants the D.”
Edit to add: The person who said "Our boys deserve an apology, and they haven’t gotten it yet" should die very, very, very slowly.
So, what do we do? Barricade the roads and napalm the place? Or perhaps just string up everyone in a position of authority by their thumbs? Obviously the mayor, entire judiciary, sheriff and so on cannot remain in power for another minute.
