Was it against the law or not?? It was...was the judge outside of the sentencing rules?? No, he was not...Was the sentence harsh?? Yes it was...Should we cry over it or put the story on the front page of ESPN as some sort of big deal?? No we should not...and its not a race thing...its a law thing...We had a bunch of boys up here in MA getting booted out of school and brought up on rape charges for having oral sex with an underage girl--even though she told the police she was a willing participant and brought up the idea herself--because she is under the age of consent and is not considered able to make those decisions for herself while the boys WERE of age of consent and should have known better...Too F'ing bad...rot in jail you loser...
