I'm a little more than upset with the shortness of these men's sentences.
"I do know one thing for sure," he told the judge, "these young men
that were in that house that night don't have an ounce of
responsibility or give a damn about anything but their Greek system.
... If they really gave a damn just one could have made a difference,
if they would have just stopped it, but they didn't, not one of them."
I would argue that they didn't care about any kind of greek system or law or anything except their own foolish pride. They didn't even really care about their own organization or each other.
On a separate, kind of eerie note, the AIDS quilt visited Chico State recently and I went to visit it. One of the deceased men's quilt pieces belonged to Michael Carrington (same name as Matthews father) and I thought it interesting that this piece was here at Chico State in the midst of this trial.
