In reply to the discussion: Four CT Football Players Charged In Rape Of 13-Year-Olds [View all]radicalliberal
(907 posts)I wasn't saying that rape by a single individual was less wrong than gang rape. I was mocking the rapists. I was saying they weren't brave enough to act alone, they could only act as a group. I was also trying to comment on their utter lack of conscience. I was very angry when I first read about this incident. People don't always think clearly when they get angry. That was true of me.
I have a friend who as a 17-year-old suffered a nervous breakdown and was incarcerated in a mental institution where he was raped by one of the other inmates, a strong man in his forties. My friend still has nightmares about it today at the age of 61. A single individual traumatized him for life.
So, again, I apologize for my first comments. Thanks for calling me out.
