Checked my email today. A friend sent me a link to join a group called: "Students against the rape of Megan Williams and media that ignores her"
This is the full article from the group:

"It amazes me that articles of negativity against "black Americans" can always make the headline news, but situations like this just go un-noticed. OJ Simpson is back in jail again and we have heard about that since the 1st day it began and will hear about it from now until this time next year, instead of treating OJ Simpson's case like any other similar crime, but how much have you heard about this? It's sad to think this is 2007 and so many things still have not changed!



This happened in West Virginia, USA very recently and on Wednesday, 9/12th 2007, Megan Williams was still being treated for this in the hospital.




She was Tortured and Raped for a whole week, by Six White individuals, Three males and Three Females Between the ages of 20 and 49.




CNN normally does not reveal sexual assault victims' names. But Williams, who is hospitalized, and her mother, Carmen Williams, wanted her identity revealed.
Police said Bobby Brewster raped Williams, forced her to lick blood and drink from a toilet, and told his mother to kill Williams if she tried to escape.
Authorities previously said Williams was also forced to eat rat and dog feces.
According to criminal complaints filed in the county, Williams was assaulted, stabbed in the left leg, choked with cords and beaten for at least a week. When she was found, big parts of her hair had also been torn off of her scalp.
Williams says that Alisha Burton 22 cut her ankle with a knife while saying, "That's what we do to Niggers around here," police records show

"I don't understand a human being doing another human being the way they did my daughter," Carmen Williams told The Associated Press on Tuesday from her daughter's hospital room. "I didn't know there were people like that out here."
Deputies received a tip and Saturday visited a home owned by Frankie Brewster in Big Creek, West Virginia.
As the deputies spoke with a woman on the front porch, "a female inside the residence limped toward the door with her arms held out, saying 'Help me,' " according to a news release from the sheriff's department.
"It's something you'd expect to see in a horror movie, not in Logan County," Abraham said. "She was subjected to unendurable torture down there."

The six are charged with kidnapping, sexual assault, malicious wounding and battery. If convicted of kidnapping, a suspect could face a sentence of up to life in prison. The penalty for first-degree sexual assault is 15 to 35 years.
Abraham said he is seeking the maximum sentence on the kidnapping charges. In addition to the Brewsters, the suspects are Danny J. Combs, 20, of Harts, West Virginia; and George A. Messer, 27, Karen Burton, 46, and her daughter, Alisha Burton, 23, all of Chapmanville, West Virginia.
"They all have previous records and have been arrested numerous times," Sheriff W.E. Hunter said Tuesday. "They are familiar to law enforcement."
Frankie Brewster was charged with first-degree murder in 1994, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter in the death of an 84-year-old woman. She was released in 2000 after serving five years in prison, according to court records cited by the AP.
All of the six individuals that are involved in this case are accused of 108 different cases of crimes all combined.
All six were being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, and all requested court-appointed attorneys, the AP reported.
Investigators are still looking for two other people suspected of driving Williams to the home, according to the AP.
Carmen Williams had not reported her daughter missing, saying Megan Williams often disappeared for weeks at a time.
Carmen Williams said she is "horrified" by her daughter's injuries.
"She wakes up crying, and the first thing she hollers is 'Mommy,' " she said. "

Wow. What assholes. Nice place we live in, eh?

Vicariously I... live while the whole world dies... much better you than I...

[Ironcat]

I agree this is a horrible thing but there's no conspiracy to ignore it. I've known abut this since it came out...
It has been all over Fox news, Court TV, and even a local TV station here in South Florida.

[xenosagarox]

Vicariously I....

Lol what? I'm horrible with english vocab. Anyways, yeah, this world is messed up. But, little things like these groups might hopefully change it. If not, beatings always work! Look at the past, kids were beat when they did wrong and there was no crime. Con: Kids grew up a little messed up.

Thats the problem with facebook groups. They never research things.

[xRyokenx]

Vicarious means to learn from watching others. That's an excerpt from a Tool song that I find way too accurate.

[Airbozo]

Yes this story was not hidden from view (plastered all over the media from day one and still is on major news sites as an update), nor is there any conspiracy to hide it.

Face it, in today's society the OJ story will trump other stories like this. News organizations are out to make money and OJ's face is a better money maker in some people minds.

[Luke122]

I turned on CNN the other day, and do you know what I saw? A 30 min piece on "Tommy Lee buys a house". WTF? Who CARES?!

I swear to God, CNN is just another tabloid now.. sensationalism garbage, reporting on junk to get ratings, not to actually inform people. BOYCOTT CNN!!!

[AJ@PR]

I hadn't read this... maybe I'm a pussy... but this kind of thing makes me sad.
Really sad.

Yes... and ironically enough, it's the same 'media' card the Facebook group is playing:

"Students against the rape of Megan Williams and media that ignores her"

I say to boycott TV and just buy DVDs of what you want to watch, there's no ads and you can view it whatever and not worry about censorship, there we go.

But yeah, I hate the news, my life has enough drama without me needing to lose what little faith I have left in the human race by watching it (the news) or soap operas. Srsly. Dem soap operas dun' naed sum soap.

[AJ@PR]

This might sound wierd to some, but I'm very, very critical of what I let into my brain.

I watch under 4 hours of TV per week... without a doubt.
I watch little movies (both on DVD, or going to the theater).
I play my Halo a fair bit.


News today are just toxic.

Books, audio books/programs, productive internet, physical stuff.


Now, dusting this guys off::: :santa:

[xRyokenx]

I don't watch TV except on rare occasions, I mainly:

Surf this hurr place.
Chat with friends.
Play an occasional game.
Read webcomics.
Listen to music.
Watch random videos.
Slack on schoolwork.
Slack on schoolwork.
Slack on schoolwork.
Go insane.
Think.
Slack on schoolwork.
Wonder why in hell I'm not dead yet.
Slack on schoolwork.
Be surprised I'm not insane from all the pressure I have building up in my mind about various things.
...
Slack on schoolwork... and that should be about it.

I seriously should start exercising, but I'm having a mental WWIII right now and I'm having lots of trouble doing anything productive. Talk about recession, ugh.

[AJ@PR]

Be surprised I'm not insane from all the pressure I have building up in my mind about various things.

With all due respect our dear Ry,

Insane from what???

36% of what you posted is "Slack on schoolwork".

[xRyokenx]

I know... it's just annoying me. A lot of my few friends are kind of going through hell and that's bothering me. I have a lot of crazy ass mental things going on, I think a lot and just seem to worry about some things too much, I can't think of any examples right now though... but I have too much to do, I have to maintain good grades in college, find a job, get the hell out of my parents house, and all sorts of other responsibilites that I'm not really ready for but my mind won't let my stop progressing. Hopefully this explains something... I suck at explaining things... especially emotions and all that good schtuff.

GOALS!!!
I love goals.

Goals are dreams with a deadline.

Good grades... go for it.
Job... GO FOR IT! $$$ = :)
Your own crib... go for it.

Not ready for what?!
Ry, c'mon buddy!!!
Why are you downgrading yourself like that?
You're not ready???
HELL DUDE!
You should think you're ALWAYS ready for EVERYTHING!
Doesn't mean you will be, but it's the attitude!

Everyday, take a step towards the achievement of your goals.

Case in Point: Moving out of your parent's house.

Ok, so:
Tomorrow, you can sit down, and give it 10 full minutes to determining WHEN you want this to happen.
Next day, you can give it 10 minutes to determine EXACTLY what type of crib do you want (small apt? Studio? 3bedroom?)
Next day, you can give it 10 minutes to make a Draft v1.0 of your budget.
Next day, you can give it 10 minutes to do an initial internet search for them.

and so on and so forth.

You're brilliant buddy... don't downplay yourself EVER.
Because, NOBODY will tell you "Hey you! Rise to great heights! You're great! Don't be down!

In fact, if people see you down (generalization of our 6billion Earthly friends), they'll try to keep you down.

As to emotions and schtuff... it's good you got that... women are emotional, not logical.
So hey!!! Positive side... you already have a leg up with dealing with women.
And that makes bananas happy.

THIS banana you pervs! :banana:

[xenosagarox]

Only TV I watch is G4 but only for special events like TGS and E3. I'd say this facebook group is more like a supportive thingy for that poor girl.

[xRyokenx]

Hahaha. The mental "slap in the face" I kind of needed. Thanks AJ.

But yeah, as to moving out, I already can tell I'd be a bit more responsible and enjoy everything better. One, I like listening to music and all that nobody else in my family likes. Two, I'd like to have friends over and not have to remodel the house beforehand. Three, my room is a pit because my parent's house has some bad "feng shue (sp?)" or something going on. Four, I'd kinda like to not have to be dressed up for leaving the house all the time. Five, I could come up with a few more, but I'm not going to strain myself for more reasons at the moment.

Me? I push myself down as I have some hormonal problems and have been slacking on one of my supplements, one's a shot, the other's a gel you have to kind of... rub on like a lotion and it's annoying and that's not something I like to do at 3am when I'm getting ready for bed (bit of insomnia lately). I'm used to being downgraded by others and have been doing it to myself for too long, time for a change, eh?

I'll look for a job soon, I have no income atm. I'm mooching off my mom for gas money and for food and stuff (she doesn't mind, or so she says...).

With women, yeah, I probably have a leg up there, but my mind kind of shuts off and doesn't give me any advice or tell me what to do so I just kind of... shut up whenever trying to talk to anyone, at least in person, text is way different. At the moment, I figure when I find "the right person" or at least someone that I connect with, we'll see what happens and pray for the best... if I prayed or got along with religions that is. I hate being told what to do and this is right and that is wrong and all, ****ing people always trying to make me fit into the little square hole they call acceptance, I'm more of a sphere or something, not a square. 3D, not 2D you idiots. lol

I should hold up a spear next time someone tries to push me down and laugh when they have no use of their hands for a while. Muahahaha. So yeah, time to bend these thought processes towards a more productive means.

Hmm... 30mins until writing starts, we have a paper to turn in and I'm the only one here... people are usually in here. Wimps. :F

/encyclopedia sized

[xenosagarox]

Hahaha. The mental "slap in the face" I kind of needed. Thanks AJ.



Mental slap? Thats too voilent! How about a mental hug?? Thats much better right?

[xRyokenx]

Nah, more like BAM! Stop being dumb. :F

[liquid_fire]

]BOYCOTT CNN!!!

I've been boycotting cnn for at least 3 years now. You can watch the "news" for an hour on there, and know every headline for the day, and not a single detail about what happened. They sensationalize everything, reporting on people's emotions and crap instead of what factually happened.

I get my news from fox news, CNBC, and various news sites (like the onion (www.onion.com), lol, jk) and when there's a hole in a story that interests me, I google / wiki stuff. Not to say fox and CNBC are 'good' news sources, but CNN just plain SUXORS!!:neutral:

[xenosagarox]

I don't ever read the news. Period. Unless its about cute little critters being turned into mutant soilders which was released as a plan to dominate earth but something went wrong and we're now being ruled by hamsters.

[Bucko]

First you say:


Checked my email today. A friend sent me a link to join a group called: "Students against the rape of Megan Williams and media that ignores her"

Then you say:


I don't ever read the news. Period.

So you've posted this up not having any clue whether or not the media is ignoring her or not, seeing as you don't look at any news anyway.

[xenosagarox]

lol maybe I lied just a little bit. I read the newpapers from time to time. But I gotta ask you. How normal is it for a 16 year old to admit he gets 3 different types of newspapers just to read it for fun? Lol I LOVE to read. And on top of that, I believe mostly everything I read. It makes it more fun that way then not believing.:p

BUT I'm not a idiot so I know what is fact from fiction.

[xenosagarox]

Lol would this thread be considered dead? anyways, I found some interesting news materials. Since we were talking about how messed up the world is and stuff before we let this thread die, I believe you all should watch this vid: http://www.whoneedstelevision.com/?video_id=15506&pg=4. (http://www.whoneedstelevision.com/?video_id=15506&pg=4) Its the vid where the UF student gets tasered for no reason at the one Kennedy speech. Just goes to show how messed up the world gets. I guess freedom of speech no longer exists eh?

[xenosagarox]

yes but why did he have to resist arrest in the first place? on top of that, did you hear him yell "I'll leave just don't taze me" or something along those lines? I think I did, but I think I'm hearing things

[xenosagarox]

a cop grabs you and you pull away your resisting

Yo that made me think. What if a pedo cop grabs a little kid and trys to justify himself by saying this little child looks like a midget theif or something and wants to take him in for questioning? I rememeber my entire American Studies class had an 40 minute debate on the legitamcy of cops. Are they really here to protect us or are they just abusing their "powers"? You know, after watching this video, it made me think that I should stay shy and quiet all the time cuz if I don't I'll become tazered to death and slapped with charges like "Resisting Arrest, Battery of a lawenforcemnt Officer, Disturbing public peace," etc etc.
