If you have the stomach for it, I can recommend the Wednesday episode of This Week in Blackness Radio (#twib) for commentary on the horrifying Steubenville rape case. Major trigger warning, because they discuss it – and play a part of one of the videos. They make the point that the case is horrifying (and not rare) – but the teenagers talking about it (on tape) are disconnected in a horrifying way: They knew what happend, probably knew the girl, but did not talk about her as a person. Which is especially horrifying. The discussion starts about 31 min. in.
I wrote horrifying a lot. Probably because I am too horrified to write anything else on this.
Thoughts?
