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.

Yeah, I think it's that people don't want to think about it, and Anonymous have done a lot of uncovering stuff, but a lot of what they've found isn't admissable evidence, and it makes the community all the more defensive and awful about trying to protect the perpetrators and, just UGH. It makes me think of the time a high school student from my town actually got prison for rape, and how my first thought was about how many More people should've over the years.

Um, I'm not helping anything here. I guess that's why I haven't talked about it much, I feel like I'll just get mired in the "people suck" instead of moving on to the whole "we can all stop rape" better stuff.

I have to believe like you say, people aren't talking more about it because of what we've both said.

*something* has to be done. It seems like our justice system is more eager to protect those charged with a crime than the victim of the crime. And yes, I understand no one is guilty until they've been tried by peers and all that, but the monster in that video? There has to be something that can be done to him.
