    Those guys should be tried as adults, rape is an adult crime. And lets not forget the adults that supplies the alcohol to the kids at the parties, when will they be brought to justice?

    Law enforcement in Steubenville is incompetent

      Probably the Sheriff or the Coach. When it comes to football, Americans will do anything to justify illegal behavior. After all, the game is Friday night!

      Even when you are a Mayflower descendant or a DAR, or any other kind of group that denotes privilege, there is no guarantee of justice. Additionally, it doesn't matter what color you are, too many women know that particular pain. Scars of that kind mar many of us.
