We interrupt this packed foreign policy news day to shock you with a case of criminal inhumanity…
What kind of teens are people raising these days? What kind of young men would not only participate in gang raping a young girl, but also leave her to die after they were done?
Investigators say as many as 20 people were involved in or stood and watched the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl outside a California high school homecoming dance Saturday night.
[...] As many as 10 people were involved in the assault in a dimly lighted back alley at the school, while another 10 people watched without calling 911 to report it, police said.
A 1999 California law makes it illegal not to report a witnessed crime against a child, but the law applies only to children 14 and under.
…The victim was found unconscious under a bench shortly before midnight Saturday, after police received a call from someone in the area who had overheard people at the assault scene “reminiscing about the incident,” Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan said. …
The ANIMALS who committed this crime should be not only tried as adults, but charged with every assault crime on the books, and if reports are correct, it should include conspiracy to commit murder for leaving the girl to die under a bench. The people who watched should get serious jail time as well.
There is no punishment great enough.
It’s also a reminder: Mob mentality can be contagious and dangerous for anyone near it.
If I was governor of California I’d make a public statement about it. Gov. Schwarzenegger should shine a light on it. And every single young man found to have been involved, including the bystanders who stood and watched, should have his face plastered across the airwaves and the web. It should follow him the rest of his miserable life.
