Yup, not to mention hard prison time spent housed with “the Sisters” (see Shawshank Redemption).
Any idea what the victim’s disability is? Football player with a disability is kind of a big matzoh ball left hanging out there.

Your finger pointing at Texas is childish.
DC? Yes, a bastion of decency in America. Certainly nothing going wrong there eh?
And what, 650,000 people? You would think, a safe place to throw stones from. Not.
The city I live in near Dallas has more people than DC and nowhere near the crime.
Your hypothetical question is lame.
Howard, who was sent to Idaho by his parents, is the 18-year-old KKK rapist, not the victim.

I didn’t finger point at Texas, but I can.
DC isn’t a perfect place to live and lord knows I want the Cowboys to stomp the Redskins 24-7.
However a soon to be adult with hateful segregationist baggage decided to ring lead two other miscreants in what is now being charged as sexual assault. That person was from Texas and that person went back to Texas to finish high school.
Now if I’m lying or misrepresenting a state who has a rather interesting legislative present, please let me know how so.
Right now though I’m at loss at what you are offended by the most: that the sexual assault incident took place in Idaho or that the person who led the crime transferred from a Texas HS.
Or is it the idea that the ringleader was allowed to go back to Texas?
Again Texas folk seem so smart than this poor DC soul. So please sir or mamm, educate me.
I lived in Texas for three years (early-1980s, San Antonio), going to middle school there. The Texas schools I went to were rife with racism, even though my particular area was not the most backwards part of the state. The older high school kids on my (tidy suburban) street were extremely open with their racism, and also saw bullying any kids who were different from them as their God-given right and duty.
I have a problem with Texas because it is, in part, where I am “from”.

I see - it wasn’t his fault; it’s his culture that’s to blame. He couldn’t help himself. Curse you, culture!

Similar happened in TN over the winter. Another indication that a certain element of the public sees that these type of actions are becoming acceptable.

Yes you did finger point at Texas. Let’s get that straight.
would it surprise you then that the lead suspect had transferred from a Texas HS?
And that in response to another thoughtful post that you liked, “Idaho–Texas of the North”. (full post)
And what is this? “Again Texas folk seem so smart than this poor DC soul. So please sir or mamm, educate me.”
Are you attempting to disparage my intelligence or education on the grounds that I am from Texas and you are from DC? I’ll just let that pearl of wisdom speak for itself.
Again. Childish.

get it right please, thanks
That’s funny. 
Thanks. I misread that.
ok
I’m going to use these two minutes, because clearly I was in the wrong…
Again what are you offended by? Me saying that the young man (and future sex offender) is from Texas or you accusing me of hating on the supposedly greatest state in the union?
well i didn’t know you were from Texas. I apologize profusely for that. I thought you were from some highly moral and very much superior bastion of reason and whatever positive intent.That you are from that lodestar of whatever stirs the nation’s conscience, frankly says a lot about you than it does me.
However I was wrong for insulting Texas and you proved that I’m just a lowly ruffian who should know my place.
Please again accept my apology.
please?
Fight Club wasn’t a DIY manual.
that’s debatable…it might have been printed by a Dallas publisher.
You’re embarrassing yourself inversion.
I’ll stop picking on you.
I’m confused about the “disabled” part of the headline. Unless I missed it, there is no mention of the victim being disabled in the article (and it is very unclear, if that were the case, how he could be on a football team). Do they mean that he was being restrained as he was raped?
and thank you kind sir or madam
if there is one thing that is rather true about folks from Texas is that wherever they are, they seem to find it very necessary to impose their state’s greatness in regards to most relevant subjects.
Thank you for accepting my apology though and as an olive branch, i’m sorry that I rooted for Santa Anna.
That was wrong of me.

I found another article that referenced the victim having “mental disabilities.”
It could be that he was a full-fledged player on the team or it could be a situation where he was on the team but not to play. The high school I went to had a kid who couldn’t play in games but he was on the team for practices (I’m not sure in what capacity) and camaraderie.
Occasionally there are feel-good, borderline-inspiration-porny stories about players with disabilities scoring or going in for plays on high school sports teams at the end of a game or a season.
