You Want to Be Barbarians? Let Me Get Medieval On Your Ass!

Apparently we're not slouching towards Gomorrah, we're skiing our way there.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A 16-year-old disabled girl was punched and forced to engage in videotaped sexual acts with several boys in a high school auditorium as dozens of students watched, according to witnesses.

Authorities are investigating and no charges have been filed in the alleged attack last month at Mifflin High School. Four boys suspected of involvement were sent home and have not returned to class.

Also, the principal, Regina Crenshaw, was suspended and will be fired for not calling police, school officials said. And three assistant principals were suspended and will be reassigned to other schools. Crenshaw had no comment Tuesday. The girl was forced to perform oral sex on at least two boys, according to statements from school officials, obtained by The Columbus Dispatch. Part of the alleged assault was videotaped by a student who had a camera for a school project.

School officials found the girl bleeding from the mouth. An assistant principal cautioned the girl's father against calling 911 to avoid media attention, the statements said. The girl's father called police.

Her father said the girl is developmentally disabled. A special education teacher said the teen has a severe speech impediment.

If I were Daddy, those four boys would never sexually assault anyone again. WALKING would require years of rehabilitation. And the "assistant principal" who "advised" not calling the police would be in need of a full set of dentures.

This is a couple of orders of magnitude worse than some 12 year-old "chavs" on a bus in London.

They want barbarism? They ought to get it.
