The news

Teens held over homecoming dance gang rape - Crime & courts- msnbc.com

This is a sad story, but it's completely sensationalist. I think they completely underplayed alcohol's role.

Absolutely disgusting. No one helps anyone anymore. A simple phone call could have saved this girl from enduring that for as long as she did. I hope they are tried as adults.

Re: The news

Digital ‘ants’ take on computer worms - Security- msnbc.com

I thought this was pretty cool, but I don't understand the point in rewarding or punishing the ants based on their productivity. I suppose if a certain problem hasn't been detected in a long time they would do away with that specific detector until a more common threat appears and warrants additional investigation.

Re: The news

from what I can tell, it's a sort of digital evolution model; as in 'that didn't work, you die', or 'hey you're working pretty well, here are some COPIES BRO'..

But then, mainstream media + anything remotely technical/scientific = HILARIOUSLY inaccurate analogies and explanations.

Re: The news

4 charged in alleged gang rape of California girl | General News | Comcast.net

They still don't give a clear explanation on what part alcohol had to play, but it's good to see they have at least a few of the people who are responsible for this.

If that was my daughter.. Lord have mercy on the kids who did it. It'd be a bad idea if they let me into the courtroom.

Phone calls take too long.. instant reaction like beating the snot out of those punks THEN calling the police.

No, you phone the police. You vs. over ten rapists, who do you think is going to win? At the very least, you phone the police first and make sure they're on their way before you get yourself KO'd.

Ok ITG, but back here in reality you call the police first.

The police are, in most instances, your friends. Maybe you're not friends with them, but they're your friends. No matter what you do, they'll most likely be called at some point, so why not give them a ring before you throw your name into the 'Will I wake up tomorrow in the hospital?' hat?

Re: The news

/em calls 911, describes assailents, tells police of intent to intervene, leaves phone on and in pocket.
/em finds an object most commonly referred to as an "equalizer" (ie fallen limb, pipe, bike-lock/chain, anything with heft, etc)
/em brains as many of those inhuman fkers as he can before he goes down swinging or the police get there.

This story doesn't just make me angry .. it absolutely ENRAGES ME!!!

It's cases like these that make me believe in keeping the death penalty as an option. Weed these ...things... from our bloodlines. They are not human enough imHo. Natural Selection musta been on vacation when these ... things... were spawned and given the privelege of life for so many years.

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the girl and her family... their lives will be forever darkened by this event.

Re: The news

There's no such thing as natural selection anymore, at least not as far as humans are concerned. Too stupid to live might be the only exception.

I think a lot can be done to prevent criminals like these from every existing in the first place, but I'm sure it infringes upon several rights or something.
