Rape Culture for all the world to see.
What's worse, the gang rape or the bystanders? The gang rape, obviously but this perfectly demonstrates the mentality these privileged college students have so internalized that they think they can get away with this.
Hurm...actually looking at those mugshots...these guys are apparently members of an established Victim Class, meaning there are no Larger Truths to this story re: White Privilege or Rape Culture. This is just a local crime story.
The real crime here is the dehumanizing language used by the sheriff to describe the suspects.
Calling them "animals". Really? In this day and age? Doesn't he know that rapists have the feelz too? That sort of language almost guarantees they'll reoffend. Too judgmental.

Bay County (Fla.) Sheriff Frank McKeithen said he "will not back off" in seeking changes to tamp down spring break behavior in Panama City Beach Friday after two Troy University students were arrested in connection with a video that McKeithen said showed a "gang rape" that occurred on the beaches of Panama City Beach last month. McKeithen said the video shows a 19-year-old victim who appeared to be incapacitated on a chair behind Spinnaker Beach Club when she was assaulted by multiple men. McKeithen said the incident occurred "in the broad, open daylight," and hundreds of bystanders did not try to stop the incident or report it to authorities. "Within 10 feet from where this is happening there are hundreds, hundreds of people standing there watching, looking, seeing, hearing what is going on, and yet our culture and our society and our young people have got to the point where obviously this is acceptable somewhere, but I will tell you it is not acceptable in Bay County," McKeithen said. http://ift.tt/1yFmE5w |
