This article summarizes the arrest of another suspect of the gang rape. This gang rape took place on October 24th outside of Richmond High School in northern California. As many as ten people were involved in this gang rape while another ten people witnessed it and walked away without calling 911. Authorities say the rape was crucially two hours long and the victim was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. She was released last Wednesday and her parents and the community are working hard to make sure that an attack like this never occurs again.
This article was presented to me when i was reading Caitlin Canavati's blog about this issue. She states that she is absolutely appalled that people could simply walk away without calling 911. I agree with her 100% and think that the ten people that did walk away should be punished as well. Throughout this unit we have learned about our role as a citizen and part of that role is to stand up for the rights of others. These people did not protect this girls rights and simply let her suffer for something that no one should ever have to suffer through.
