Gang rape of 11 year old divides town?

What? I don't seem to understand the division, these "men" were arrested because of video evidence of being involved in some way...they should spend the rest of their life in prison, I don't care if they did it directly or not, everyone that sat there and watched deserves to be behind bars for a very long time.

Idiots. If theres video evidence that proves it, theres nothing but idiots in that town if they are against the victim.

Something just seems odd about that whole thing. Not saying it was right to do it but the thought pops in my head what if the girl was a willing participant and turned to the rape defense when the video came out and everyone was talking about it and seeing it, and she became ashamed/embarrassed and was afraid her parents would find out about it.

Don't get me wrong I am in no way condoning or defending the actions of the boys but you have to admit the real possibility of this being the case, especially in this day and time.

An 11 year old can't give consent, they're still every bit as guilty.

Very true, an 11 yr. old can not give consent. These people had to know how old she was. Especially the 27 year old asswipe. They should cut the desire for sex out of them permanently. And to make the argument that these people are making is just a pitiful injustice to the victim.

I know by law they can't give consent but to believe that an 11 yo doesn't full well know about sex and able to say yes or no to it is beyond burying your head in the sand and living in denial. Again I say I am not condoning or defending them just looking at what is within the realm of possibility realistically. What makes me think there is something more to the story is the fact that so many people actually are defending the guys like they know the girl and believe it is a possibility as well.

Having said that it was wrong no matter what and more than one of them had to have known how old she actually was and said something. All of them need to be castrated.
