Let's start with some of today's youth. Here is a tip that everyone should follow: If you are going to do something illegal, don't brag about it online. 18 year old Jacob Cox Brown of Ohio found out that tidbit the hard way after writing on Facebook this gem: Drivin drunk … classic ;) but to whoever's vehicle I hit I am sorry. :P. Not sorry enough as the authorities were soon contacted after which dumb ass got arrested. And while he could not be arrested for drunk driving, leaving the scene of an accident will, as several of my friends have found out in the past. One friend, who was not drunk at the time, hit a a corner going too fast and wiped out some mailboxes. He left as it was late and was woken up the next morning as police found his licence plate at the scene.
This happens ALL the time as minors post pictures of themselves online with drugs or alcohol. Not smart. What is even dumber is when you do something really horrible, like rape, as two high school players in Ohio just found out. Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond, both 16, are accused of raping a drunk and unconscious 16-year-old girl at a party on the night of Aug. 11 while other party goers tweeted and Instagrammed about the attack, including a picture showing the two defendants carrying the girl by her arms and legs. Afterward, police were notified and the town has erupted in horror that those that knew about the attack did noting and were not also charged. According to the local DA, they are looking at all the info they have but further charges are most likely not forthcoming.
The hacker group, Anonymous has gotten involved with many Guy Fawkes masks outside the rallies for the victim. Others have questioned why the coach hasn't benched more players, especially those that put up videos talking rather callously about the attack. The coach has refused to answer any questions regarding the matter. It also hasn't helped that because of the popular nature of the local sports team, a judge and prosecutor both had to step down for conflict of interest reasons. In response to the outcry, the local government released this statement:
"Nothing in Ohio’s criminal statutes makes it a crime for someone to ridicule a rape victim on a video or otherwise say horrible things about another person. Further, nothing in the law allows someone who says repugnant things on Twitter, Facebook or other Internet sites to be criminally charged for such statements. Steubenville Police investigators are caring humans who recoil and are repulsed by many of the things they observe during an investigation."
Basically, it is not against the law to be a dick, no matter how much we wish otherwise. Some have commented that this type of behavior isn't anything new at the school and the football players had an inner circle known as the "rape squad." Whether there is any truth to that is unknown but here is a link from an Anonymous source, KnightSec, that shows the videos and personal info for all involved:

Is there more to this story than they are letting on? Maybe. Sports have a way of blinding people to what is really going on as seen most recently at Penn State. What is not in question is that there are way too many dumb, evil people out there thanks to the total breakdown of the nuclear family, brought on by corporations paying us the least amount of money they can.
These are just two stories of dozens that happen every day of some teenager doing something so asinine it boggles the imagination. Our nanny state is allowing way too many morons to reproduce as Darwinism is hampered by safety regulations protecting these fools. Maybe we should get rid of seat belt laws, gun restrictions and other ways to thin the herd from the rampaging stupidity of modern culture. I don't know how many stories I can read like the above and not crawl into bed, pull the covers over my head, and never get out.
