MSNBC reports here. A history of craziness at this school. And yes--I wonder what professional, educated Hispanics think about this. Same way we feel when black teenagers act like nihilistic animals. Normal kids and families moving out of the school district. Why do we in our ethnic groups protect/excuse the crap? If they were black, I'd hand them over to Glenn Beck or the Klan. They should have never been born. Deepak Chopra says this is an epidemic of emotional retardation in urban communities. That's no excuse, just an explanation. However, the real retardation is of parents, activists (be they black or Latino), politicians, etc. who continuously blame whitefolks or "no jobs" for this. That's way back at the root. This is learned behavior.

What the hell? This is insane stuff.
And the people who witnessed the attack and did nothing-are just as low down and the rapist. I don't get it. But it is a damn shame that no one helped the victim. This is the result of the lack of morals period.
Animals?
Aren't human animals?
Isn't rape ( exclusively ) a human behavior?
Watch for PETA on your lawn!
In a country that exhorts singularity WHY the behavior of a few is generalized?
@msladydeborah
Lack of moral?
I guess you mean civility?
Even criminals have moral.
The truth IS denial,
The society as ONE IS to blame.
I suggest reading underground comix from Japan.
This type of brutality knows no color (numerous cases over the last twenty five years confirm this). We live in the most violent industrialized nation in the world where countless young men of all colors are taught to be violent sociopaths....Yes people, this is a gendered phenomenon and yes, we need to start raising boys to hold one another accountable. The vast majority of young men do not rape nor ever will rape someone, but MOST young men do stand by when one of their peers wiles out on other men and women. And if you take issue with my centering this discussion on men then take a minute to look at the numbers...

This is the Kitty Genovese story "redone" for the new millenium:

I am black, and I am a feminist. I think what happened at Richmond high school is horrible. However, the author of this blog does not help the situation by describing Latino and black teens as "animals." This just creates more racism and doesn't do anything to stop sexism. Call them vicious misogynists, condemn their behavior, as I do, but don't feed into more stereotypes. For somebody who says their blog is about writing and politics, the author is incredibly careless about the cultural politics and ugly racial history of calling non-white people animals. Think about what you are writing.
Ironic how sometimes we show more offense at how these subhumans and their behavior are described, than at the horrid offense they committed. These "men" are monsters and their behavior is actually an affront to animals. Unfortunately we no longer use Hammurabi Code...

I understand you, but condemn what?
Their behavior? - It will mean what?
"We" are superior, more human?
Do they care?
Aren't we all responsible for the society we create?
And i am sure a judge will do that. To condemn!
…
If they were black, I'd hand them over to Glenn Beck or the Klan.

What for? ; Ménage à trois?
What was that for, a hug-beg directed at DOGmatic conservatives?
Troubling indeed!
If Nate is the face of the middle class, then …

…
Calling them animals isn't also an excuse?
What explanations are needed for?
For DOGmatic conservatives and mindless patriots USA is the most caring country on earth, but do not behave accordingly.
Blinding yourself toward yr. neighbor in need isn't a crime, if not what is a society for?
I'm asking for clemency?
No! Name-calling can lead to any resolution?

Oh, it is easy to blame others …
It is not only a "Black" thing, "Hispanics" also do it.
Ever heard of pedophilia?
BTW Hispanics means relating to Spain …
Do you hear europeans ( Whites if you prefer ) using this discourse?
This is the most troubling and lazy post Nate wrote.
Shame indeed.
why you spread hate among our community, just don't care about any color, I judge persons only for what they do. You're a racist.
