Wow, its been one hell of a week eh kids? We had the Firehawks, Icehawks, Owls, and Redwings all fold within the last week! Birds literally falling from the sky like a story out of the bible! Is this how junior hockey Armageddon begins?!
Well it might not be Armageddon for junior hockey, but it is one big freaking mess that only team owners and league administrators are to blame for. Mmmmmmmmm I wonder how much of those expansion checks remains unspent?
So yeah, anyway, lets get to todays stuff.
Thomas Carey and Brandon Smith are finally going on trial. You remember these two don’t you? You know the two who video taped one sex with a 15 yr old. Yeah, thought that might ring a bell.
Well I haven’t just forgotten about this case since we reported on it. I have been following it pretty damn close. And I can tell you the defense attorneys also need to be charged for being public scum bags.
The defense argument consists of the boys not being responsible because the victim was the aggressor. That’s right kids, blame the victim. Anyone ever wonder why so many women who have been sexually assaulted don’t come forward? Its because they are afraid they will get blamed.
How many women and girls will now not come forward because they read this news!?!
Nothing wrong with an aggressive defense kids. Nothing wrong with using the law to protect your client. There is a lot wrong with trying to blame the 15 year old victim for anything.
They admit they made the video. They admit the sex. Not much more to discuss is there.
Well it goes to trial on December 7th of 2015. A year later. Sure its been stressful for these boys to have this over their head. Sure if convicted they will be labeled for life. Isn’t the girl already labeled?
