3 high school basketball players charged with rape, assault of fellow player


GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) — Three high school basketball players in Tennessee have been charged with raping and assaulting a teammate in an apparent hazing incident, officials said.

Gatlinburg Police said in a statement that the players were charged Monday in the incident, which occurred last week at a rental cabin.

The statement said staff at LeConte Medical Center called officers Dec. 23 after a young man who had been assaulted was brought there by his basketball coach.

The victim was sent to University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, where he underwent surgery due to his extensive injuries, the statement said.

Police say the boy was in Gatlinburg for a tournament with teammates from Ooltewah High School in Hamilton County.

1. Your typical con children at work.

Their parents are registered Republicans but espouse teaparty talking points.

I could go on, and I bet you I am correct.

Surely the victim was accused of being Gay, I assume?

Wait, wut - there is an abrupt thread direction change:

6. Your post

Is pretty disgusting. Not sure why you think we need to inject politics into a sexual assault issue.

Why not, we inject politics into every other facet of human existence.

12. Never waste an opportunity to use a tragedy to your political advantage, even

if you have no facts to back it up. Sometimes that's even better since no one else will have enough info to call bullshit on you either.

hughee99 is living dangerously today...

Meanwhile - facts start to make their appearance:

7. FYI most of the team is AA

I'm on a phone so I can't link but there's a team picture on the school website if you care to look.

I don't know many AA teapartiers but it happens I guess. Much more likely however that politics of the kids or their parents had nothing whatsoever to do with this. But by all means, please do go on.

This is a rare day where I completely agree with a DUmmie and would add that several somebodies need to go to adult jail for this crime.

Of all the despicable Hippo shit on the Island of Misfit Infants, you're the top of the pile, Faggot.

 

Well, isn't this nice:

13. A pool stick, according to a commenter:

The family member said, “He was not given a proper exam and collapsed the following day. Once he collapsed, he was taken by ambulance to the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. He had to undergo emergency surgery, as his colon and bladder were ruptured. He is still in the hospital recovering at this time.”

The family member said it was initially unclear as to how he sustained such injuries. However, she said “it was later found that he was beaten and sodomized by fellow teammates.” She said they used a wooden pool stick to sodomize him.

She said he “is expected to recover within 2-3 months. However, he is having nightmares. He has stated that he thought that he was going to die as a result of the assault. In addition, once he is finally discharged he has to wear a catheter and colostomy bag for at least two weeks or longer.”


 

Recovery is going to take a hell of a lot longer than 2-3 months, to be sure. I hope he can find peace one day.

Uh, yeah.  A LOT longer.  Of course, one of the inmates has to make sure that we know what the real crime is:

4. Don't read the comments..... Holy cow!

Some actually think they should be charged as adults. I agree  Do you people even know how to write ..... uh wait....


Some say their names and pictures should be released. I imagine they will be eventually.



I can't write some of the comments....racist (basketball comments which are foul),    homophobic (horrible and extremely ignorant), and other nastiness. A couple of nasty shots at the president! Ugh!

Ummmm...... remember:  "If I had a son"?  Just add something something something a pool cue.

Am I the only one who gets the vibe that Randy's son does bi-racial gay cuckold porn to support his heroin habit and Randy is flailing to assign moral virtue to it?
