Son of AZ Senate president arrested in hazing assaults

[DesertRat]

This is awful! :mad:

The son of AZ Senate President Ken Bennett (Republican) was arrested Monday at his father's home and accused of assaulting more than a dozen boys at a Student Council camp last summer in Prescott, officials said.

Prescott police Lt. Pete Hodap said 18 junior-high boys between the ages of 14 and 16 were "held down and assaulted with a broom handle" while attending the camp in June.

After one victim came forward in December, police identified 17 others. All the boys said they were assaulted in living quarters at the camp.

"Every one of the victims was clothed," Hodap said. "There was penetration through the clothing."

4. pResident AWOL relished tourturing frat boys, too

So this kid is just following the role model of the AWOL in chief.

Anybody got the recent Doonesbury comic strip that laid out the FACTS of Bush's Merry-Spank-and Crankathons during his unheralded days as a Connecticut Preppy Cheerleader matriculated at Yale?

8. * branded his frat buddies with a coat hanger at Yale

"...In the fall of 1967, when huge numbers of college students were marching on Washington to protest the Vietnam War, Bush was quoted in the New York Times defending the branding of fraternity pledges with a hot coat hanger, saying the resulting wounds resembled 'only a cigarette burn.'" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/bush072799.htm

Sorry, don't have the Doonesbury.

12. He looked to the "leader" of the Formerly Free World

Heard the skull & bones rattling deep in the neoCON psyche, and the rest is just another ugly little scrap of history in the legacy of Republican perversion.

I'm sure these lads will receive a "reprimand" from the Dean, and a record that can be EXPUNGED later by the Ministry of Truth.
