Response to the Rape Cases

Based on the four cases, all the victims are relatively young and under 21. The youngest one is even 13. And the victims are also low economic background however,the accusers can apply to all different kinds of economic background. I was really shocked for the richmond high school rape case: 1st because I am from North Cal and it reminds me the Oakland's situation. 2. It happened at school and I am wondering how come there were nobody stop it. 3. Videotaping with cellphones make it even worse.

I am wondering, only one of them above 21, how come they drunk? If they drunk, how did they get into school? There must be somebody patroing campus.

As for the media, it definitely should blame the school and their parents. Both of the two big control device did not give enough attention to those children.

This is the lastest news for Richmond Highschool Homedance gang rape. The media also focuses on the community to blame. I hope it will help improve the safety of the community later on.
