We are back to the ‘bad old days’ when the victim ‘had it coming’ according to the fine citizens of Cleveland Texas. The gang rape of an 11-yr-old girl by 18 suspects who range in age from high school students to a 27-year-old
have brought out the ugly side of the citizens
who are "embarrassed and appalled" by her accusations, and concerned for the reputations of the rapists!
Two of the seven high school students who are alleged to have raped the girl are basketball stars, one is the 21-yr old son of a school board member. Another 21 yr-old is already facing charges of sexual assault, and a 19-yr old has a pending manslaughter charge. The senior member at 27, has already served time for selling cocaine and assaulting a family member.
Who wouldn’t believe this crew over the 11-yr-old girl, even though there is ample evidence on cell phones, as onlookers took photos and videos while awaiting their turns. Incidentally, the girl is in foster care, and has moved several times as a result of threatening phone calls. Here are more details of the actual event.

the girl is Hispanic, naughty and consenting, and now there are groups of armed
