"Five years? Ten years? That's ridiculous," said LaToya Bell, 22, sitting on a porch with four others who nodded in agreement. "They (are) getting time for nothing. That girl, she knew what she was doing."
Holy fuck, she was eleven!! And this guy's the fourteenth person to get zapped for what he did to her? At least fourteen people?!
She's right though, five or ten years is ridiculous, they should get locked up for life. Raping a little girl is not a one-time aberration or a 'bad decision', that's showing that you're a goddamned monster who doesn't need to be among the rest of society.
((and no, you didn't sound callous at all. I just hadn't seen that case on the main page of Yahoo news, which I'm sure ties into a much larger problem of 'missing white girls' making the media sit up and pay attention more often))
