Well, in this case it WAS cut an dry. Coaches knew about it that night and covered for them. There were photos and videos of teammates narrating the attack. The prosecutor's son was a Steubenville teammate and she tried to convince the victim's family not to press charges. Adults were covering for them at every…

There are lots of date rape songs in country music. They call them "Love Songs."

You shrieking, cowering child.

This is why you are alone.

In terms of what it actually takes to Not shut ones mouth and keep quiet about a rape, actually, yeah, I think it IS okay to refer to her as a brave, great girl. Most adult women can't do that. It takes a level of courage that a lot of us just do not possess. You worded your response Very poorly, judging by the number…

Your mother should have swallowed.

Free speech doesn't cover the distribution of child pornography.

Is this comment for real? I believe people were calling her wonderful for having the courage to speak up for herself while having to discuss what is/was surely the worst experience of her (very young) life. What does her going to a party and "knowing she'd get drunk" have to do with being drugged, raped, and mocked…

She didn't even accept alcohol. It was punch. Drugged punch. Not that it should matter. Way to blame the victim.

Would intending to get drunk make her deserving of rape?

oh shit it didn't dawn on me that she was breaking the law by drinking at 16. what a bitch. thanks for pointing that out to me. I take back complimenting a young woman for standing up to the global internet community by showing that she's not ashamed.

pretty good, especially since I'm just being tongue in cheek and most people enjoy my sense of humor. oh yeah and my comment about Jada being great and the world being bad has over 300 'recommends' so far — not that people liking my comments is a huge gauge of self-worth, just that some people seem to get that I'm…

1. Yes, it makes her very, very brave. Which is wonderful.

Er, going to a party and getting drunk does not make someone a lesser person, even if they are underage.

It's true we don't know much else about Jada or her life, but we DO know she is handling all this very bravely and seeing someone like her stand up for herself could make other victims feel less alone and more able…

Free Speech means the government cannot punish you for speaking your mind, except in very limited instances. Free Speech does not mean you won't suffer social consequences for what is said. Now show me where Robin said all these morons should be imprisoned.

#jadapose

I totally agree that we should flood it with positive messages for Jada and shut these cretins down.

You can report individual tweets, though I've never heard how responsive or good their team is. Other than that, you can try flooding the tag with support for her and push all the gross shit out of the way!

P.S. I don't know Twitter's policy, and in general I believe in free speech, but if anyone knows if there's a way to stop the "#jadapose" thing, we should try.

Should not every asswipe who shared the video be brought up on child pornography charges?
