5 charged in gang rape of girl, 7 ... police say victim was sold by stepsister

[TheNilesEdge]

Rowan Towers at 620 West State Street, in Trenton, N.J., is shown on Wednesday, March 31, 2010. The building was the site of a party where police say a 15-year-old sold her 7-year-old sister to have sex with as many as seven men and boys. Police say the child later put on her clothes and two strangers walked the crying girl home. She was treated at a hospital. Police say the teenager, who stayed behind, also took money to have sex with others at a party in the Trenton apartment on Sunday. The older girl is charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes. Her name was not released because of her age ...

maybe she's, like, a really mature looking and acting 7 year old? You know, one of those rare girls who start puberty at 5 or something.

Yep that's all I got. What the fuck sort of depraved neighbourhood can have a party where not one person there tries to put a stop to this? Perhaps they took the girls to a different room but seriously, even if you don't try and physically stop anyone a person can still leave and call someone else like the cops.

You should start reading different types of news. You know, the ones that relate all the extreme instances of normal behaviour.

[YHWH]

Hence them psychopaths being closeted.

And I am not basing my deduction on any news, I just drank enough to blurt out anything.

[LongSilence]

So... you're worried you're actually a psycho yourself then? Fair enough. Probably not but you could be.

[YHWH]

No I am not. Wtf dude.

[TheNilesEdge]

Stoooop derailing fer fock sakes. :mellow:

[teleforce]

this is gross, this is interesting, what else?

[TheNilesEdge]

Yes. Do you think the victim was an INTP?

[avolkiteshvara]

I'm replaying episodes of The Wire in my head.

[LongSilence]

Yes. Do you think the victim was an INTP?

Haha.

Wait, what? No? Maybe? Not enough information? She followed her sister to a party because she was worried about her- is that particularly INTPish? That she didn't seemingly scream bloody murder when a bunch of grown-up / teenage guys started feeling her up- is that?

I'm kinda curious to find out more about the statements of the strangers that walked her home. What did they know about what was going on? What did they say?

[Oso Mocoso]

I'm replaying episodes of The Wire in my head.

Living close to the incident, I can tell you this is precisely what Connecticutians imagine life to be like in New Jersey.

[starla]

I'm sure someone did something to the older sister to fuck her up in the head. 15 year old girls don't just go around pimping themselves and 7 year olds at parties.

Yep. That's pretty certain. Unless she is seriously weird and needs the money really, really bad to buy a pair of earrings or pay for her grandmother's kidney transplant surgery.

[avolkiteshvara]

You can tell it is the ghetto. Boys disparity of ages: 20,19, 17, 14, 13 all hanging out together?


I've seen alot of young teenage girls talk about ho-ing on International Avenue here in Oakland. After they've stopped, their major complaint was that it wasn't moral, like Jesus wouldn't like it. They didn't really see how fucked up they were or the people around them were. It is telling.

[Resonance]

An estimated 23 million people worldwide are being held against their will. 79/21% female/male, 23% children.

Roughly 79% are sex slaves. 18% are in forced labour.

The human trafficking industry has an approximate worldwide revenue of $42.5billion per year.

What happened to this little girl is a tragedy.

[LongSilence]

Just checking. That doesn't include people in prisons, right?

[Resonance]

I thought the same thing. I couldn't locate a definite answer one way or the other in the 30 seconds I allocated to reading the article. I somehow doubt it, though. That would be stupid :p

[stuck]

Pretty crazy.

The event seems like mass delusion. The guys who raped the kid have to know anecdotally what prison is like, and how rapists, especially pedophile rapists, are treated in prison. WTF happened to make them think it was somehow ok?

[joft]

oh please, bitch probably begged for it. am i right?

am i right?

*looks around for fellow desensitized internet cool people*

[Alfredo]

And my respect for humanity takes another hit. Not even Joft's badass new avatar lessens that sick feeling in my tummy.

I would really like to know what those guys were thinking, to really pick their brains apart.

Let us use reason and logic to understand the situation from an objective viewpoint

Let's not think too hard about this, lest we get even more depressed and sickened by it. *looks around for fellow internet feelers* :cry:

What are your premises? That the perpetrators are reasoning human beings socialized within a first world country with norms that prohibit sexual activity towards children? That they have some sort of psychopathy? That there was substance abuse which impaired judgment?

I'm happy you got a moral conscience and I'mma let you finish feeling, but I think Glen Beck had the best moral outrage of all time! OF ALL TIME!!!

anything I could possibly lose to Glen Beck at is a skill I'm proud not to have.

Let's find a way to make everyone feel bad for being curious and trying to make sense of the world by talking to other people.

It easiest if you cut out unnecessary clauses.

Still ambiguous. Are we making them feel bad for talking to other people? Or making them feel bad by talking to other people?

I am also sickened that there would be 5 random people at any party willing to rape a 7 year old. Wow. We will have to kill so many people come Revolution time.

These people don't even deserve rehabilitation if it were possible. Just put them down. They're animals.

She said she was eighteen, your honour!

No, your honour, I did not mistake "and a half" for "teen".

[Spy_with the Eye_of]

This is why we need vigilantes like Rorschach from Watchmen. The new story would be "The 5 charged in the gang rape of a 7 year old girl were found viciously castrated"

News stories like that might make certain people fear the consequences of their actions more than having bragging rights for spending time behind bars.

[MadamI'madaM]

I question the complicity of the teenager in the rape of the 7 year old.

"Sale" could be alleged or at least coerced.

But not necessarily.

Rorschach was pretty cool actually. Probably my favourite character from Watchmen*

I find your advocacy of state-sanctioned murder as the solution to this problem troubling. Yep, humanity is barbaric ... because only an abstraction like the state should have the power over life and death! Hmm, that might need work. And guys? I think Trotsky might tell you that by embracing the necessity of retributive violence, you're just buying into the capitalist paradigm. That's fine by me, mind you, as long as you buy your quotas of Che t-shirts. Production went over in sector 16, so we need you to pick up the surplus.

zomg, is that a real baby bear?!!

That is crazy cute.

Reopen Alcatraz, put 'em all there if we have to keep 'em alive. They can bugger each other to death.

They should be forced to act in a live-action scooby doo remake while starving to death.

[doob]

I dunno too many questions unanswered. If this actually happened as reported, bring 'em (the rapist) to me and I drag 'em from the bumper of my car. Too many times what police said and media reported turned out completely untrue. I don't know what happened but I don't think it was reported correctly. Guilty 'til proven innocent.

Revolutionary justice is supposed to be delivered by people's courts, silly bear. Unless it's the civil war, then you just shoot them, because it's a war.

And yes I do believe in the death penalty under socialism, because some people don't deserve to live in society, and someone has to be the judge of them (society).

I'd agree with you if society did a better job of picking the real criminal out of a lineup.

The only really good thing we have going for us is DNA evidence. I suspect at some time in the future it will be very difficult to commit any kind of violent crime unless you are so anal about cleaning up after yourself.

I better find a better place to get rid of the bodies.
