Can't think of a town more deserving of an apocalypse of some sort

While righties are decrying the lack of protesting over the quartet of dumbshits in Chicago, even though said dumbshits were hunted down enthusiastically and are being charged appropriately, they ignore THIS hate crime.

"A white Idaho high school football player who was charged with sexually assaulting a black, mentally disabled teammate in October 2015, pleaded guilty Friday to a lesser felony charge, and the sex crime charges have been dropped.

John R.K. Howard, 19, of Keller, Tex., pleaded guilty to a felony count of injury to a child and will be sentenced to two to three years of probation and up to 300 hours of community service, according to the Twin Falls Times-News. A judge will decide the final sentence in February.

The Alford plea Howard submitted allows him to maintain his innocence while acknowledging that prosecutors probably would have won a conviction against him if the case had gone to trial.

In May, the Idaho attorney general’s office filed sexual assault charges against Howard and two of his teammates at Dietrich High School, alleging that they held the victim down, shoved a coat hanger into his rectum and then kicked the hanger several times. The two other students have been charged in juvenile court."

What the story fails to mention is that the "people" of this town drove out the victim and his family with threats for daring to inconvenience a football season.

Clearly if this town were wiped the fuck out down to the last in a disaster or attack of some sort, nobody of value would be lost.

Look at Penn State, what they did was 100x worse, and the students stood up and supported child rape to this day.
