Girl, 11, sexually assaulted by 20 boys
An 11-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by as many as 20 boys as a 16-year-old girl watched and told her what sex acts to perform, authorities say in the latest mob attack to rock Milwaukee and set off another round of civic soul-searching.

"It almost leaves me speechless. It is just senseless acts of violence. It is inhumane. It is embarrassing to the city of Milwaukee and its people. ... There should be outrage," Barbara Nuell-Moore, director of the neighborhood-improvement group Project Respect.

The 16-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy have been charged in juvenile court in the attack, which authorities said took place on Monday in a house on the city's north side. A 40-year-old man who also had sex with the child may also be charged, authorities said.

As for the others, "we're dealing with a lot of nicknames so we're trying to track down these people," said prosecutor Matthew Torbenson.

4. Societally speaking, what is needed are two things:
1) Crime fighting/crime prevention; put the criminals where they belong, in prison
2) Programs to help the poor and provide more opportunities to the poor

10. Get rid of hope-killing conservatives in public office
from the school board on up.

That's the only way to reduce this stuff.

When both parents have to work multiple jobs, the kids are left to their own devices. This is the shit that always happens, along with a lot of street crime and burglary. The kids don't want the kind of life their parents have, and who can blame them?

5. If Clinton set the example of oral sex ...
... then George Dumbya Bush is setting the example of rape, pillage, sloth, and murder.

Prosecutors charged 16-year-old girl and her 15-year-old cousin. They are reviewing charges against the girl's 40-year-old uncle and her 17-year-old cousin.

8. Those 100,000
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 09:40 PM by gaspee
Those 100,00 Cops Clinton got on the streets through federal subsidies really weren't needed, huh?

I know there was a young girl involved as well, and I'm not dismissing her involvelment, but it's really hard for me to not despise males when I see stuff like this on a daily basis. Every day we see the assualts, the murders, the violence, the rapes. So, if the RW is so into profiling, why don't they profile all males, regardless of race or age.

Then I remember the good men that I know and I don't hate them all, but for a few knee-jerk seconds after I read a story like this, I think physical castration is a pretty good deterrent from acts like these in the future.

Most men have no idea what it's like to live with the constant threat of violence and sexual assault. I think that's why there are so many men who excuse other men, even on the left. 52% of the population has to worry how they'll get home after dark, get nauseaus when they have to walk by a group of leering or heckling men, etc.

It's inconceivable to me how human beings can treat another human being this way. Inconceivable.
