BREAKING: 2 Steubenville Football Players Found Guilty of Rape

[Jamastiene]

85. A big thank you to Anonymous and Occupy for bringing the eyes from the outside

onto this case to make the locals there bother to do something about at least 2 of their star athletes raping a girl. And yes, we can now drop the allegedly part. They have been convicted of rape now. They are rapists...really, not allegedly.

I have no doubt in my mind that town would not have done anything to those boys if the eyes of the world were not on them. I live in a small town and I know what it is like to be the victim of someone that the local authorities like. They will immediately claim you are mentally ill if you dare try to turn someone they like in for a crime. I know my hometown is one shitty place to be a victim of a crime. I learned the hard way to fight back on my own and never expect any help whatsoever from the police or any others in a position of authority. We have to take care of each other here and do ALL OF the footwork or the police will never help us*. Usually, even after we do all the work, they still won't help. It is worthless to even ask them for help.

That kind of stuff goes on in a lot of small towns. Those who claim otherwise either have never experienced small town life or maybe once lived in a nicer small town than many of us do.

*not including jocks, religious leaders, school principals, and rich people. The local police here are ONLY here for them. The rest of us are "mentally ill" if we dare turn them in for their crimes.
