Then again, I think any rapist should have to do that.
 
oh, how i hope Monica Peter, aunt of Marcelles Peter shows up here to claim dear nephew was just "walking by". nature wiped its ass that night and Peter was one of the shit stains left behind. i want to go to Richmond with a pair of needlenose pliers and a soldering iron. i'll give him rape with a foreign object.
 
I would have been calling 911 and getting some pictures of these fucking monsters and I couldn't honestly say I wouldn't be looking for the closest weapon and going in myself.

You just know someone there took pics - please find and examine all their cell phones.

They said bystanders and perps took pictures while it was happening. This is just so FUCKING sick. How could it be that these people could watch this and not have any compassion for this girl?

I dont understand. I really dont.

Who is Monica Peter?
 
"If they give him a life sentence, I guarantee the city of Richmond will be sued. I will sue the pants off them," said Monica Peter, aunt of Marcelles Peter. "Trust me when I say he was just walking by."

Yeah, he was just walking by, tripped, and his dick fell in her. FUCK YOU Monica Peter for defending this waste of sperm!
 
I have looked, while guzzling wine, and this is the only one that's up. The 21 year old adult has not been formally charged yet. They are blurring the other monster fuck's faces for now.

I brought this story up last night at home, and my roommate said she saw it on the news... and that a lot of kids they spoke to were saying the girl deserved it.

The pervasive apathy uncovered by this story is incredibly unsettling.
 
She was an honor student. As a former honor student I can say we never expect to be found sexually attractive.

Unbelievable. I would have an issue with a kid saying something like that to me. What kind of children are we raising where they don't know the difference between right and wrong? I still put this on the parents. ALL of them, except for the victim. Damn. All the bad news got to me today...
 
Reading depraved things like this, makes me kind of relieved I don't have daughter; I'm raising two boys. My aim is to raise two young men that would do every thing in their power to stop the brutality if they came upon it. Many people witnessed this attack and did nothing, tho some took pictures.... I got to tell you, this shit scares and depresses me more than any horror movie I could watch.

I don't know, backlash. I'm guessing kids have always had the capacity for such cruelness. It's just more accessable and open these days. 50 years ago had this happened, they wouldn't have held a damn school assembly about it and it wouldn't have been national news. The girl would have been kept out of school or transferred, and instead of saying it, the kids would have simply been thinking it. I mean, a girl who willingly saunters off to a secluded courtyard to drink heavily with some young men she barely knows when she knows her dad is on his way?

People have ALWAYS been quick to blame the victim for something like rape. Especially catty kids.
 
I imagine she was impressed they were paying her any attention at all. Thankfully-- I always had a possessive boy around and at my shoulder.
 
This is a nightmare for parents of girls. My 15 old son & my 13 year old daughter go to the same school. She is in the 8th grade, and he in the 10th. The middle school kids, and the high schoolers, are kept apart by two separate campuses. This terrifies me because older boys tend to manipulate the younger ones. Just recently, an 8th grader was caught giving a 19 year old senior oral sex!! I was so outraged by the fact that this happens in school now more so than when I was a kid. Girls are viewed as sex objects...some girls see themselves in that light, which is so very sad to me. I know it's in no way the same thing here, but it all seems so depressing...kids aren't being kids anymore...sad
 
yeah.... this pretty much explains why I don't go to Richmond. I am over a decade older than that girl, and would NEVER feel safe walking alone at night there.
 
Even if you had a boy with you it would have been irrelevant skeptic; even if he were possessive 10+ kids would just kick the shit out of him. And I was a pretty hot honours student, we weren't all ugly. :wink:

On another note, it will be interesting to see how the bystander effect plays out in this case.

Damn, this fucker just reeks of pure evil. Look at those eyes. They look dead.
 
Richmond gang rape seen as nearly inevitable
Last weekend's gang rape at Richmond High School was almost bound to happen. All it needed was a spark - the elements were already there.

The courtyard where the attack erupted was the most infamous spot on campus, an out-of-the-way, poorly lit venue for gang initiations and dopers lighting up joints.

The 15-year-old victim was a vulnerable girl who attended church and wanted to be a police scout, but also worried counselors by trying too hard to please the school's bad boys.

As for the suspects: They were a mix of the bad boys, the wannabe bad boys, and the hardened, grown-up bad boys who had aged out of school.

All it took for things to lurch out of control, investigators, students and community leaders say, was opportunity - and that came when the girl left the school dance Saturday night, walked by a group of bad boys boozing hard in the unlit courtyard, and accepted their invitation to hang out.

Fueled by street-macho bravado and inspired by sexual initiations required to get into some local gangs, they began the attack, investigators say.
[...]

Take the poverty-driven frustration of inner-city Richmond, a youth street culture that glorifies thugs and applauds degradation of women, and the desensitization of young men through violent video games, music and language, and you have a template for trouble.
[...]

(Charles Johnson, one of Richmond High's security specialists), teachers and students at least partially blame the attack on the lack of lighting, sturdy fencing or security cameras on the courtyard, which abuts a rough neighborhood on the northern end of the campus on 23rd Street. Signs for the Norteño and Crips gangs are scrawled in huge letters on a wall near the driveway leading into the courtyard.

On Saturday, district officials confirmed plans to install higher fences around the entire school before next summer, and to firm up security in general - but the challenges will still be steep. Johnson also blames the attack and much of the school's troubles on nonstudent "outsiders" - as several of the attack suspects are - who regularly trespass on campus, and they are much less respectful of authority than the students themselves.

But as much as anything, the attack stems from the way the roughest young men treat women, Johnson and the others say. And this is a problem that extends far beyond the East Bay campus' borders.

"This attack was about street culture, and the need to change that mind-set," said Jay Leonhardy, a nationally recognized community organizer who heads Richmond's Youth Works, which steers at-risk kids into work and education programs. "It's not something you change overnight, and it is not unique to Richmond, Oakland, Portland or Los Angeles. It's everywhere.

"As awful as this attack was," Leonhardy said, "just maybe it can represent a teachable moment. If people pay attention."
[...]

On the night of the attack, the victim left the homecoming dance at about 9:30 p.m., before it ended, and walked to the back of campus to call her father to pick her up, detectives say.

That's when someone invited her into the notorious courtyard.

The group of about a dozen boys and young men was already well into 2 gallons of vodka. After they liquored up the girl with brandy, they proposed sex, according to several accounts by friends of those who were there but asked not to be named for fear of retaliation.

The girl said no. Some of the men placed her on one of the two red cement benches set alongside the main brick building of the school and said they were going to have sex anyway, according to the accounts.

"They had her down on the bench and the bitch tried to kick 'Tweak' (one of the men) in the nuts," said one young man, who said he had a first-hand account of the attack from Smith but was afraid of being named. "He went off on her, started hitting her, and then it was on. They pulled a train (a gang initiation-style rape, one after the other) on her."

What ensued was 2 1/2 hours of beatings and raping, at times with a foreign object. The scene attracted onlookers, some calling others over by cell phone, and eventually there were as many as 10 men or boys sexually assaulting the girl while another 20 looked on, laughing and snapping pictures. Teachers and students were searching last week for at least one video that many said was filmed of the attack.

The rape finally stopped, around midnight, after students at a house down the block heard of what was going on and called police. The girl was found, semiconscious, beneath a picnic table.

"Her face was purple and blue and she wasn't moving when they finished and ran," said Eraclio Lopez, 23, who lives nearby and ran over when the police cars rolled up. "I guess those kids thought what they did was tight, was cool. But it was terrible."

The girl was released from a hospital Wednesday, but her recovery has only begun, police Lt. Mark Gagan said.

"This was a barbaric crime, and I find it hard to wrap my head around the fact that so many watched and didn't report it," Gagan said. "That poor girl will have a lot of healing to do."

This was not the first time the churchgoing sophomore had hung out with the wrong crowd, said one educator who asked not to be named for fear of offending school district sensitivities. That has caused anguish for not just her but the advisers who helped her over the past couple of years,

"She really is a smart girl, but it's not always easy to fit in," the educator said. "I think she can be a little naive, and she's been harassed by guys in the past who took advantage of her when she tried a little too hard."

English teacher Jessica Price, who knows the victim and most of the arrested suspects, said the girl has helped in conflict-mediation groups. She told Price she wanted to join the Police Explorers, a Boy Scouts group that lets boys and girls learn law enforcement with local police.

"She's an emotional, deeply caring girl, the type who would care so much if this happened to another girl," Price said.

The girl and her family have not spoken publicly, but her parents issued a statement read at a community meeting Saturday, urging everyone moved by the attack to "please channel your anger into positive action."

That such a girl could be so brutalized speaks more to a pack mentality, stoked by booze and street machismo, than it does to the general character of Richmond High's youths, Price said.

"Those boys who did what they did weren't picturing that girl as a human," she said. "I think you see these kinds of boys at a lot of high schools - so desensitized it was like they saw her as a toy. Boys like that - there aren't many like them, but they can be so hard. All they needed was something to set them off."

She told a school district safety panel last week that some girls trying to find out who had watched the rape were being threatened in the hallways - and that, too, she blames on a desensitized mentality.
[...]

Even the neighborhood ex-cons who lounge against their cars all afternoon at the back end of campus are outraged. For all the sensitivity training going on, this is still a rough city - and there is rough justice.

"If we'd gone over there earlier, before it was over, those mother- would have been shot. For real," said 24-year-old Chuckie Pelayo, leader of a pack that hangs out at the corner of Hayes Street and Emeric Avenue, one block from the rape scene. "We've all been to prison, and we know the code of how you're supposed to behave. These younger guys, they don't know the code.

"Some of us know a few guys who were there, and we're out looking for them," Pelayo added, the others nodding. "They better hope the cops find them first, because when we find them the same thing that happened to that girl is gonna happen to them."

Can I please be allowed to slap this fucker just for making this statement??

Damn, man!

I agree this is a huge problem, what children are growing up around them, influencing them speaks volumes on their way of thinking, reasoning and behavior. I'd like to know what the hell their parents say on this, how they have raised these boys will say a lot too. I'd be utterly ashamed to be a parent of one of these boys.

Desensitized or not, they knew what they were doing was wrong, vicious in nature still they proceeded to attack her like vile animals.

I hope the book is thrown them. An example needs to be made that this kind behavior will not be tolerated, is by no means acceptable. It's repugnant how they treated her, worse than a "toy", more like a maimed animal who couldn't fight back or run. I hope this young girl recovers and heals with lots of support, but there is no doubt she will never be the same again.

This story is absolutely blood chilling. The peer reaction to the story is even more disturbing. The fact that nobody helped her just sickens me. My daughter is 15, and this kind of story makes me want to hold her tight and keep her close forever.
