Well, its seems pretty clear by you colorful thread title and the posted article that you think this dumbass moron was dealt a serious injustice and prevented from going to college because of the fact that he is black.

....or maybe you think gangbanging a 15 year old on video is acceptable behavior.

so he should get 10 years because some 15 year old girl was a willing participant in group sex?

I'll agree that 10 years may be a little overboard, but yeah, he should have gone to jail, absolutely. She's 15, I really don't care if she was a willing participant. Just because she is willing doesn't make it right. The fact that they were on camera boozing it up and chiefing the herb didn't help much either I would imagine (of course neither did the fact that it was a full on gangbang).

To believe he should go to jail means you believe that anyone who sleeps with any 15-year-old should go to jail, which would take out a pretty huge chunk of the teen population. Throughout human history 15-year-olds have always had sex and they always will; exceptional contexts of our current society have made it suddenly immoral. I personally advocate abstinence, so I would appeal to 15-year-olds themselves to make that decision, not for the criminal justice system to waste its resources locking up their classmate partners.

if that's the case, then the jails would be full. this happens way more than you'd think. the verdict and the punishment are incredibly overboard for the "crime"

All the time, but most parents don't press charges against their kids boyfriends/girlfriends. There was a reason why he was arrested. The girl he had sex with claimed she was raped.

and the tape showed she was servicing people like a gas station.

willingly.

On tape, the cops saw a 15-year-old girl, a 10th-grader, performing oral sex on a partygoer and, after finishing with him, turning and performing the act on Genarlow. She was the instigator, according to her mother's testimony.

this is stupid...there is no justice in america, i'm not too sure about the rest of the world either. (i don't know b/c I haven't been, but I'd be willing to bet not)

justice is a concept like perfection.....it is unatainable

the young man did nothing wrong

and if the original title of thread offended you, then good...you probably deserve it

The point that these people in this thread are making is that this happens quite often, and also to white males who have sex with white females, so it isn't a race issue.

Their point is valid however, like was already stated, race compounds many issues and this tends to be one of them. That's evidenced by the comments I've read on other boards and in-person regarding this topic. Race may not (read: may not) have been a factor in the fact that he was arrested and so forth, seeing as though things like this happen all the time, but it would be interesting to see if it may (read: may) have been an extralegal and undocumented factor in the sentencing. That can't really be proven but I'd be interested to see the sentencing criteria either way.
