I've read my way through all the Steubenville Files I was unable to watch or listen to all 12 minutes of the video. I got through about 4.5 minutes before I had to turn it off.

For my own sanity.

Why aren't more people talking about this? Are people trying to guard their sanity like I am, because if I think about it too much I start to lose it.

What blows my mind is that they took this girl to more than one party while she was passed out cold and violated her in more than one place and not one single person at these parties called the fucking police on these assholes. Blows my mind. I feel like another conversation that has to happen with our kids is that if they see anything like this happening that they CALL THE COPS. That they do the right fucking thing. And that doesn't mean, "Don't rape the girl, too." That means call the police, call an ambulance, call 911.

I know! There had to be at least one person at each of those parties who fundamentally knew it was wrong and yet did nothing.

What kind of cowardice is that? To personally witness something that monstrous and reprehensible and do NOTHING is damn near as bad as the crime itself.

If nothing else, if they won't call 911 or the cops or whatever, call their parents, right? I mean, this is unconscionable.

I think everyone involved is less than human. There absolutely no sense of compassion or empathy at all, it's one huge joke to them as evidenced by the video.
