Girl May Be Charged ForTweeting Boys Names Who Assaulted Her

Yeah, except for one simple fact -- it wasn't rape, it was sexual assault which are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

That depends on the jurisdiction. Texas, for instance, only has one term for both, sexual assault. Some other states may be the same.

PS - if it was my daughter, and I do have a daughter and a son, I'd want to crack heads as well

Some people on these threads would support you cracking their heads open even though the law says its not, "just because it's morally right".

Resorting to sly remarks now? Did you not read my latest post?

Let me reiterate (and clarify one point):

I do not support vengeance by doing illegal things*. Don't put words into my mouth.

I am curious... Do you support the actions of Martin Luther King, Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement? How about Gandhi during turmoils in India? Even Thoreau, who was imprisoned for not paying into a tax system that support the Mexican-American War because he believed it to be immoral?

The girl may not be in the right. However, I support her because she did what she believed to be right. Do I honestly believe it's right? I'm not sure. I have no opinion. I was not affected by this event, so I cannot say either way.

Lastly, how are morals less than the law? Are you talking about Our Great Country, the United States of America, exclusively, or the laws of a country in which one resides? I disagree either way, but I hope you can see the error in your logic.

*: Violent** is the word I meant to use.

On second thoughts, I mean morally reprehensible..

Changed title slightly to make it less confusing

They should have been tried as adults. That not being what happened is why there was a gag order.

These two little punks already posted pictures of the girl on Twitter. Her identity has been made public by them, and they made their actions public by taking pictures of her and sharing them with their friends.

Yes, they should have been tried as adults, but the gag order was unnecessary and it's a slap in the face for the victim.

Good for her.

I understand her frustration, but from a legal point of view, what she did was illegal. I do hope the charges get thrown out though. I'm really curious why the attackers got off so easily.

first all the kids involved were drinking underage. the the boys assualted her and committed another crime on her. these she did this. Damn.

Well by law 17 is still not an adult. It sucks for her but she is standing up for what she believes in, good for her.

I don't think you're understanding what I'm saying.. Maybe you do.. Children deserve gag order protection. For what these kids did, they don't deserve a gag order for protection. They should have been tried as adults and this would be a non-issue.
