“Some people deserve to be peed on #whoareyou ”
It is a distasteful statement when made in the context that it was. It is even more distasteful to think that it was posted to brag.
When I found this particular tweet during my research about the allegations of rape at Steubenville High School, I sat in front of my screen in disbelief. I tried to let the words sink in. I was repulsed because I knew the context in which this statement was made and then I became very angry. Angry that another human being would find even a morsel of pleasure regarding such a sadistic act. There is not a lot to say about this particular tweet. I will let the words of its author speak for themselves.

There seem to be more cases of sexual assault: http://www.cleveland.com/metro/index.ssf/2012/09/sexual_assault_awareness_campa.html
You’re doing great work here, bravo! My website gets a lot of viewers, let me know if I can help bring justice.
Feel free to use any resources from here if you want to do a piece on it. And thank you. I wrote about the case to vent my outrage at everyone involved who did nothing to help this young lady. I am astonished at just how big this has gotten.
Stubenville seems like a perfect place to take a pee.
I evidently have been living under a rock and just heard about this case. I too am from a small town in Ohio, I would like to say that I do not believe so much emphasis (not sure thats the word) should be placed on the fact that these “boys” were football players. They are CRIMINALS that had a pact mentality. Yes, small towns do hold football on high, seems like they always have. But, I believe any group of kids that are bonded and believe they are untouchable is at risk for criminal behavior. I just don’t necessarily think such a negative light should be placed on being involved in a sport, as it does, for the most part, keep a lot of kids who would other wise be in a lot of trouble, out of it. There is not a lot to do in small towns if you don’t have sports.
I think that the blame should be placed on the individuals. Or even the lack of accountability that is given to kids these days.
Having said that, for petes sake please oh please someone hold every single person involved in this poor girls trauma be held accountable plus some!!!
I’m stunned, much more by the reaction of witnesses than the fact itself. What kind of values are being taught to these kids?
