Boo Hoo for You

Steubenville, Ohio, sounds like your garden-variety nightmare.  Any town that's so far up the asses of its local sports is nowhere I want to be.

I love sports but don't support the whole look-the-other-way premise upon which athlete worship exists.  Screw you.  If my sight-reading music skills don't get me out of a term paper deadline, then your ability to put a ball over a line shouldn't either. 

Are You Fucking Kidding Me doesn't quite cover my feelings regarding the outpouring of waah for Richmond and Mays.
Two boys, struck down in the prime of their youth ... Are you fucking kidding me?

Here's the thing.  You raped.  You are rapists.  Ergo, not only should the state slap you the fuck down so hard, but you should be walking the streets with a scarlet letter equivalent for your entire lives.  That's how it works, man.  Don't like it?  Try not shoving your fingers up an unconscious girl's vag, you fucking scumbags.

You are marked.  Every day, you deserve to get out of bed and have your first thought be, Shit, my life is a disaster because I'm a rapist.  You shouldn't ever be allowed to forget it.  I know that must be confusing considering the legion of self-hating women and girls including Rihanna who see fit to forgive violence against women, but you need to earn your way out of it.  Hang your head in shame and go knock on the door of a woman's shelter or crisis center.  Give up your free time and pay down your debt.  That's the only way you should ever get any relief, in my humble opinion.  You bought your own hype and now you're going to suffer for it, as you deserve to.

Personally, I hope you're too weak to take it and either eat a bullet or hang yourselves.  The world could use fewer of your kind and I have zero problem with you both becoming the dead ends of a rape morality tale.

Adults who live in Steubenville and facilitate this kind of shit?  Holy christ, grow up.  Really?  High school football is all you have to live for?  That is pathetic on a level that would be beyond mockery if you weren't directly responsible for the rapey climate of your town.

Teenage girls who testified that the rape victim is a liar?  Oh, girls.  So much you don't understand.  And that makes sense considering where you're growing up.  But one day, maybe you'll leave that bubble and realize that you don't back the men who abuse women, especially when you've seen the photos of the act in question.  You don't turn on victims because your high school reputation might take a hit.  Even though you feel like it's right to hate such a dumb girl for such dumb behavior, you don't give a pass to men who take advantage of women in a weakened state.  Unfortunately, you probably won't learn that lesson unless it happens to you.  So, good luck in college and maybe your puritanical attitude problem will keep you safe.

It won't.  But maybe you'll learn some compassion and understanding and that rape is never defensible.  Never.  Under any circumstances.

And moron talking in that 20-minute video?  Man, I almost feel bad for your parents.  If you were my kid, I'd hold your head underwater until you stopped kicking and take my chances with a jury trial.  Alcoholic Trip McNeely stereotype 5... 4...
