WTF is wrong with kids these days

[Obi-Wan]

If you are a male senior/12grader in high school and are a "victim " of the rape game, I'd guess most likely you didn't try to stop it...prob enjoyed it

With a comment like this I'd guess you would have been one of the guys on the giving end of the rape game and probably enjoyed it.

And we just had another school shooting.

Crude joke. I shouldn't have posted that. I think some stuff is probably well blown out of proportion when it comes to the Richland deal. But when charges are filed it's something to take seriously

COLFAX, N.D. — Disturbing details of sodomy and sexual assault dating back to 2015 in the Richland 44 School District are described in an independent report that says school leaders failed to sufficiently respond to allegations of student hazing and sexual misconduct.

The district hired a Minneapolis law firm, Langevin Lentz, to investigate the matter and compile the findings in a report, which The Forum obtained Friday, April 6, through a public records request.
In the 46-page report, superintendent Tim Godfrey, high school principal Bruce Anderson and athletic director John Freeman — whose departures from the district were announced this week — claim to have not known before Jan. 17 that variations of something called the "rape game" had been occurring for years.
It was on Jan. 17 that two parents confronted Godfrey about the "rape game," one stating that their child came home with "holes in his underwear." The report also says at least two incidents of sexual misconduct were reported to Anderson and a coach but were not investigated.
Attempts to reach Godfrey, Anderson and Freeman by phone Friday were unsuccessful. Godfrey will resign and Anderson will retire at the end of the school year. Freeman is no longer with the district, and the terms of his departure have not been disclosed

The report says hazing and sexual misconduct took place in locker rooms, on field trips and during physical education class and musical rehearsals. The report also says district policies on hazing and bullying are not accessible or easily understood and that staff training on these policies is insufficient.
The law firm's review focused on events before Jan. 24, the date when news media began reporting on the misconduct investigation led by the Richland County Sheriff's Office.


The investigation resulted in five male students collectively facing 13 misdemeanor counts of hazing, 11 misdemeanor counts of sexual assault, nine felony counts of felonious restraint and one felony count of terrorizing. The boys charged were referred to juvenile court. All of the victims were male, authorities said.
In addition to law enforcement investigating the allegations, Langevin Lentz conducted 56 interviews with school board members, administrators, teachers, coaches and parents.
"Some commented that 'boys will be boys'.... And others commented that 'this kind of stuff' is common and 'happens all over the country,'" the report states. "But no one we spoke to said or suggested that physical restraint, sexual assault, or unwanted touching is acceptable."


One student athlete considered transferring schools after he reported last spring being held down by his teammates who then stuck their fingers in his butt. The student's parent shared this with an assistant coach who didn't raise the issue with the athletic director, principal or superintendent, according to the report.
Another student reported "screaming" when being "trapped, chased and caught and assaulted" by other students on multiple occasions during fall 2017 musical rehearsals.
Two parents reported that their children were restrained and poked in the butt through their clothes while staying in a hotel room during a field trip this school year. One instance involved using a toothbrush, according to the report.
A parent reported to Anderson in fall 2017 concerns about inappropriate locker room behavior involving male middle school students after physical education class. The parent said students were poking each other in the butt. Anderson spoke with the teacher and students, but the report says the school should have investigated further.
'Knock this off'
One assistant coach told the law firm that several years ago when he was a student athlete at Richland 44, another student athlete began something called "the rape game."
Descriptions of this so-called "game" vary, but involve turning off the lights, typically in a locker room, running around and trying to stick fingers up others' butts or poking them in the butt through clothes with fingers or objects.


Others described the "rape game" as sexual assault, sodomy or sexual harassment. The report says "there is not a consistent understanding of what the 'rape game' is, what behavior occurred or even what behavior has been reported." But variations of the "rape game" have been occuring at the school since the 2015-2016 school year.
On Jan. 18, the day after two parents confronted Godfrey about the "rape game," Godfrey, Anderson and Freeman met with male student athletes. Godfrey said in the meeting that such conduct could be sexual harassment and that it was unacceptable. Godfrey recalls Freeman saying, "I told you to knock this off," and Anderson said Godfrey told the boys "we've been through this before."
Freeman told the boys if the behavior continued, "offenders would be unable to play basketball for the rest of the season," the report states.
The report says it is undisputed that parents were not informed of the Jan. 18 meeting. Several parents demanded a meeting with Godfrey on Jan. 19, when there was a basketball game scheduled later that evening. Godfrey, Anderson and Freeman met with parents to talk about the "rape game." Godfrey told parents law enforcement was getting involved and that he didn't know the extent of the problem.
"Some of the parents at the meeting were very emotional and expressed anger at the alleged perpetrators and at school officials. One parent said if he found out that someone had done this to his child, he ... was willing to 'go to jail.'"
According to the report, Godfrey said there would be supervision in the locker rooms to address the situation. However, at the Jan. 19 game, junior varsity players were in the locker room unsupervised, the report states.

"A number of parents reported their deep disappointment at the failure of the superintendent, principal, athletic director and coaches to provide locker room supervision that the parents believed they have been promised," the report states.
Community impact
The law firm's report noted that the lack of supervision and security in locker rooms as well as clear communication between the district and parents "greatly affected everyone involved and significantly impacted the community."
Lack of communication was the result of several factors, including some teachers' and parents' pre-existing lack of confidence in Godfrey, students' reluctance to talk about sensitive matters and intense emotional reactions from all concerned, according to the report.
The report says district business is regularly conducted on personal electronic devices and personal social media accounts, which the law firm says is not best practice. The app GroupMe was used for communication between coaches and players and was a source of concern for many parents.
At some point after parents complained Jan. 17, Godfrey instructed Freeman to "shut down" or "delete" the app, and Freeman's attempts to do so resulted in deleting all prior posts, the report says. The lack of evidence was an issue during the independent review, but parents did provide the law firm with screenshots of some communication revealing sexual references and hazing.


An exchange on the app with sexual or hazing references was seen by at least one coach and the athletic director who allegedly "did not object or attempt to control student communication on the app," the report states.
On Friday, School Board President Lisa Amundson told The Forum the board is very concerned about the contents of the report and will continue to review and address the issues.
"Throughout this report there are indicators that suggest our entire Richland 44 community must take a collective look at the culture in our junior/senior high school," Amundson wrote in a letter. "Our children are watching and waiting for us to set the example and show them the way forward from these past few months. We do not intend to let them down."

Sit back and think about this, as in see the big picture. The liberals forced this country to mainstream mentally ill people and mass shootings is the result. Then they mainstreamed gays so that everyone would accept it and think it was perfectly normal. Then add into that piss poor parenting, parents that aren't allowed to punish their kids or actually most that don't want to and you have shit like this happening. It's time for some good old fashioned ass kicking in this country again.

A case in Blue Earth, MN where a family was forced to leave town after their son was beaten by members of the football team. From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

The beating of their son has changed how Dale and Tonya Hurley feel about their hometown of Blue Earth and the people who live there.

Months after a local high school football player was allegedly beaten savagely by four of his teammates, the city of Blue Earth is still reeling.
Public officials in the southern Minnesota town of 3,400 residents near the Iowa border don’t want to talk about what happened. Community members fear for their jobs if they take sides.
Meanwhile, in an interview last week, the father of the 16-year-old victim said that his family is leaving Blue Earth for good and moving out of state.
“My kid was a victim,” Dale Hurley said by phone as he drove to a job interview in Nebraska. “My son is a victim of an assault, I don’t care how you slice it. And here we have to move away from his home to be safe.
“I’m pissed. Really pissed.”
Many in town were stunned in November after learning that four Blue Earth Area football players were being charged with criminal felonies in the alleged assault on their teammate after the team’s final regular-season game a month earlier. The four attackers allegedly beat their victim unconscious at a house party, filmed the attack on a cellphone and showed it to him the next day, according to court records. They also showed it to other students and team members.
The victim suffered a concussion and missed several weeks of school. When he returned, his father said, some students harassed and mocked him over the incident, while some of his assailants followed him around in an attempt to intimidate him.
Tonya Hurley, the victim’s mother, took a leave of absence from her job as a paraprofessional at a local school. With their son at the center of a major scandal involving the school district, it was just too awkward to remain in town, Dale Hurley said.
Adding to the family’s difficulties — the house party where Hurley’s son was beaten took place at the home of Dale Hurley’s boss.
“It’s been impossible to work with her,” he said of his supervisor. “She and I had words. It has made work very uncomfortable.”
A relative of a boy at the party who wasn’t charged in the case followed Dale Hurley home recently and “asked me if I know what I’m doing,” Dale Hurley said. “I said ‘I do.’ And he said, ‘I don’t think you do.’
“And then he asked me if I had an attorney. Just a bulldog attempt to intimidate me.”
Community mum
In a small, tight-knit community the size of Blue Earth, those intersecting relationships are everywhere, which has made the situation even more complicated.
Four school board members declined to address the issue last week — two didn’t return repeated calls, and two others said they didn’t want to comment. A City Council member also didn’t return repeated calls.
Other community members also declined to discuss the incident, fearing for their jobs or the jobs of family members.
The parents of the alleged attackers, meanwhile, have made public pleas for leniency for their sons.
At a school board meeting earlier this month, the parents of three of the students facing charges complained that their sons were being treated too harshly by the school district in the wake of the attack. The alleged attackers were suspended from school for 10 days and barred from playing sports.
Mayor Rick Scholtes said last week that the best thing for everyone would be to leave Blue Earth alone to deal with the issues itself.
“The articles you guys are writing are making it worse,” he told a reporter. “Because as a community, we’re trying to heal and put this behind us. That’s how I feel and that’s how I think it’s affected the community.
“We just need to let it work its course and be done.”
Scholtes said Blue Earth is being unfairly scrutinized for events that have probably played out in other communities, as well.
“To me, these things happen everywhere, probably, and why are we being singled out?” he asked. “The negative publicity is hurting our community more than anything, and it drives a spike between both sides.
“For me, you have a few kids who made wrong choices, but the rest of the community is still a great place to live.”
Not for the Hurleys, who are reluctantly uprooting themselves from a place that they say always felt like home.
“This has approached a new level of low,” Dale Hurley said. “I get so angry sometimes. I’ve been quiet because I didn’t want to get fired from my job before I had another one.
“But it’s insane the mess it’s caused for us.”
