Are held responsible. And the kids at the party that filmed and cheered. Repercussions have to be had

His motivations may be suspect, but he has definitely lit a fire under the asses of Steubenville and its rape culture.

I became hopeful. And watchful, knowing it could be only words to appease. So, I am always interested in updates. Thanks.

In this case, I think it'll work well for the cause of justice: if he really means what he says about sex crimes, then he'll prosecute vigorously. If, on the other hand, he is only looking for "law-and-order" material to help himself get re-elected as AG, then he'll prosecute vigorously.

This is 'bigger' than just this case. May it spread across our country - if you are involved in any way, shape, or form . . . then the fullest extent of the law will be used to punish you.
