    Board pissing matches aside, Anonymous takes two hours to apparently locate two of the suspects. Canadian authorities failed to ever locate a suspect.

    A perfect illustration of what is wrong with the world.

    1) Parents didn't have an accountability system in place to check their 15-YEAR-OLD from going to parties where alcohol is served. Where was she after the party? Spending the night with a friend? If she came home in this condition, shouldn't they have noticed something?

    2) Slime like these young men walk our streets and attend our schools.

    3) Facebook and twitter.

    RCMP is a joke. This is another example of their ineffectiveness as a police service.

    Don't know if anyone watches The Good Wife, but they had a ripped-from-the-headlines episode last night following along the lines of Steubenville case. Anonymous were the heroes and depicted as such.

    I have to say, their social conscience has held up pretty well so far -- to my knowledge they have really only gone after people who deserve to be gone after.

    15 year olds have been sneaking booze and into parties since booze was invented.

    Slime like these have always walked our streets

    Facebook and twitter are fairly new. Gossip is centuries old.

    Follow-up story says the three were football players, and although they weren't kicked off the team, none played in a game during the 2012 season. Also the initial charges were a misdemeanor citation for sexual assault -- I was unaware that it could even be a misdemeanor and handled so cavalierly.
