There a few more entries to my list of people who should be lined up and shot.

I volunteer for that firing squad.

Da faq?  Also this case has a hero in it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMPruQ4DXoc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMPruQ4DXoc</a>

When they called the team the "rape crew", was that an insult(like Stephen Colbert mocking republicans) or a compliment?

And now the town's trying to turn it into a case about the evils of social media.

Talk about the town missing the point, especially since it's social media that has exposed the sleazeballs in question.

Hey, don't forget Declan Sullivan.

If I had power in government, these people would be unceremoniously taken, shot, and thrown out into a refuse heap.

Nothing quite angers me like rapes like these. Nothing.

These disgusting, unapologetic worms deserve to have all their football "glory" ripped from their hands, all their school credit revoked, all their accomplishments turned to ash.

I say we throw them down an oubliette, then we can pour some gasoline down there and throw an match down.

None of your suggestions are worthy of being used to punish these monsters.

They must be placed in dark, disgusting, isolated rooms. In each of these rooms is a TV with an NES plugged into it. The game: Action 52. Oh, and the audio is muted; they must instead listen to Justin Bieber music for the rest of their lives. Plus, the rooms are padded, and they're tied to chairs, so they can't commit suicide.

I thought that's what they called themselves.

You know, simply bringing these people to a court of law and throwing them in prison if they're found guilty is also a sensible option....

Nope. Now is time for over-the-top punishments that make us sound like Freepers.

I wasn't being serious about what I said, I just wanted to top niam.

Or here's a concept for y'all: Stop acting like Nancy fucking Grace and let the courts do their goddamned jobs.

This is a behavior that fucks me off to no end. When a bunch of people decide "HEY, LET'S TRY AND CONVICT THEM -BEFORE- THE TRIAL EVEN STARTS, HERP DE DERP!1!"instead of getting the full facts out. I have one thing to say on that end: Melinda Duckett.

If they did do this, I hope that if there is a hell, they get a new layer just for themselves and for other gang rapists. If there isn't a hell, I hope they get put in general pop where one learns that hell truly is other people, and are never allowed to play football ever again. But if they aren't guilty, well, a lot of people are gonna look real stupid for doing this.

As for the town missing the point, I think they do so on purpose. I think they do so because if it did happen, you have a whole small town in denial that their parents breached their responsibility so badly in the name of football.

The football gods do not approve of this behavior at all, nor should anyone else. HOWEVER, that doesn't excuse falling into a trap of sensationalistic media coverage. We're better than that, guys and gals.

Except that the evidence points towards the fact that she was raped. Even if she wasn't technically raped she was still passed out and kidnapped. I think most of the media is upset because the town seemed to try to cover it up.

You'd be amazed at what some good ol' boy hometown high school football players can get away with.
