More sad news from Walker Middle School outside Tampa. April’s lockerroom hockey stick raping of a 13-year-old boy has already resulted in four teenagers (pictured) charged with assault, as adults. Now investigators say much of the flag football team watched it happen: “Many members of a Florida middle school’s flag football team were in the locker room when a 13-year-old boy was sexually assaulted by some of his teammates with a hockey stick and broomstick, according to court documents released Tuesday. The teen told a detective that two teammates penetrated him with a stick as many as a dozen times while two others held him down. He said ‘basically the whole team’ was in the room. The boy said the sexual assaults happened over a period of several weeks but it was unclear how many times. … One witness described hearing the victim yelling at the boys to stop. Another said the victim was fighting to get away but laughed when he finally did. Another said there were guys, ‘cheering and yelling’ during two attacks. … ‘It only lasted for about 15-20 seconds then we all stopped and walked away,’ one [suspect] wrote [in a statement]. ‘After it happened I walked up and said we were just playing around and didn’t mean to hurt his feelings.'”

Wow! This will be a great opportunity for Orly Taitz or some other shithead to try out the right wing’s new “gay-panic, boys-will-be-boys” combo defense for the offenders.

The kids who were in that locker room need to be charged for their role in a criminal conspiracy.

Homophobes are usually hiding their issues regarding their own homosexual desires. The more homophobic, the more likely the person is to be a closet case. Reminds me of a U.S. President I know.

You know, the Schtopemfromfloppin your husband bought for you while he was in Heidelburg quaffing steins of Bock Beer and noshing on wursts of various sizes, so that you don’t keep accidentally stepping on your nipples.

Miss Understood
Why does everyone only get concerned when these assaults involve something sexual? When I was in school it was useless to report getting punched or getting rocks thrown at you. Those are considered pretty serious assaults IF YOU ARE AN ADULT. It was just dismissed as normal behavior. Until you’re out of school there’s not much you can do. I never felt safe until I moved away from the suburbs to New York City.
M Shane
The monsters are all being tried as adults: wait and see how they like being butt-fucked by prison inmates. Unfortunately they won’t have hocky sticks. Lets hope the whole team gets prison time to think about what violation is about.
galefan2004
@schlukitz: It has nothing to do with appearances it has to do with being a grown up. Its not being an old fuddy duddy. Its being mature. You can make fun of people without going down to their level. Well, maybe you personally can’t, but most reasonable mature adults understand where the line is.

@DuttyBarb: I have a sense of humor. You obviously don’t because you simply don’t realize that there is a difference between humorous and childish. Its a huge difference.
Also, my screen name (its not a fucking cb radio so its not a handle), is in homage to one of the first straight men to cross the barrier into playing a gay role and actually stick up for the gay community while doing it. I’ve had the screen name since 2004. I’m not going to change it anytime soon. Thank you for your opinion however.
galefan2004
@Miss Understood: It depends when and where you were in school. In the last 10 years there has been a zero tolerance policy when it comes to bullying in schools. Not only are the kids normally expelled if caught in this time and place but they almost always are facing criminal charges as well. After the victims of bullying got pissed enough to start blowing away half the fucking school the policies changed pretty quickly.
galefan2004
@M Shane: Tried as adults but they will remain in juvenile corrections until they are 21 and given that they are probably around 15 to 16 they will most likely never see adult prison because I highly doubt that they get more than 5 years. Being tried as adults is just a fancy way of the prosecutor trying to show that he/she is “tough on crime” and “moved by the situation”.
galefan2004
@galefan2004: Actually diving into it even more. It could very easily be a ploy for the prosecutor to squeak out a not guilty verdict. Being tried as an adult forces the jury to start considering if what these kids did deserves real prison time, and in most cases in a very conservative area the jury is going to have a hard time bringing themselves to convict four kids for “giving a gay guy what he wanted”. Yes, I know that is a bull shit argument, but I’ll be extremely shocked if the defense doesn’t use it at least once.

While gay people and just any child who is different gets abuse there is a big difference between getting hockey sticks and brooms shoved up your ass and getting stones thrown at you. He could have died easily.
M Shane
P.s. rape is not really regarded as a sexual act , but an act of violence.
galefan2004
@M Shane: Its actually seen as an act of power and control with a sexual component to it. Its actually prosecuted under the assault category and considered an extreme form of sexual assault. However, it still has a sexual aspect to it and is really more about seizing power from an individual than actually full on assaulting them.

@schlukitz: You have no fucking clue. Seriously, 1) I’m not that full on myself 2) I don’t lack a sense of humor 3) I just don’t like sinking to other people’s levels to ridicule them.
I like my humor just a little more refined that than. You see, the problem with humor is it should actually be funny. When its not funny its not humor.
I’m not at all full of myself. I actually am quite unimpressed with myself and I spend much more time helping others than helping myself. It must be nice to be judge jury and executioner based on the quipping I spout out here.

Ahh. So there is no actual penetration of the penis and no intercourse involved in the act of rape.
I was under the impression that rape was a forced act of sex against the victims wishes and without their consent.
I am so glad you clarified that point for me.
Refer to your dictionary or encyclopedia much, so you?

@Miss Understood: You are an idiot. Sexual assaults leave a lasting scar, unlike just getting hit or having a rock thrown at you. It’s a rock. Get over it, you cowardly piece of shit.
I guess those rocks getting thrown at you addled your brains. I got beat up in school too- rocks, getting kicked/punched etc. And I’m not fucking self absorbed enough too think that just because that happened, I should somehow think that was worse than being repeatedly raped.
Go crawl in a hole and die you self centered, ignorant excuse for a human being.

@Miss Understood: P.S. This is the only time I have ever wanted to say this but I seriously hope you get repeatedly raped. Then you can come back and talk about which one is worse.

@DeAnimator:
Obviously, Miss Understood has never walked a mile in another man’s moccasins and therefore is incapable of relating to the distress, anguish and pain of other human beings.
It seems to be a fairly common trait with a great many people.
DuttyBarb and YCHTT come to mind. Their own pain and suffering, instead of broadening their understanding and compassion, seems only to inured them to the pain and suffering of others.
Very sad.
Jaroslaw
I don’t know, I’ve read a lot of Duttybarb’s & YCHTT previous comments and they are the religious type. I think someone else used their names as a joke on this thread. Comments 3 & 6/7 are out of character for them. Which is not to say they both don’t have lots of other kinds of problems…..

You and I may not agree on some issues, but at least you have integrity; and, frankly, I see some hope in that. At least I might be reaching one of you.
As for the imposter, what else would I expect from someone so perverse? But you don’t even have the support of your own kind, which is why it is so easy to defeat you and your ilk.

I can’t believe some of you are calling for these youth to rot in jail. As if jail will help them understand what they have done. As if jail will help them become productive members of society. We live in a culture that encourages this kind of thing. Have none of you been beaten up for being effeminate in high school?… maybe not. If you think the prison industrial complex is the answer to this problem you are so so wrong.
