[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]His supporters aren't horrible people, in fact, I think they seem like really nice people.  I know more about Brock and his family and friends than I know about the victim in this situation.  Right now I am finding it unfathomable that this kid chucked so much of his life down the toilet in the span of 7 short minutes. All those early morning and after school swim practices.  All those evenings and weekends spent at meets.  Becoming one of the best and having a shot at the Olympics and straight A's at school to boot.  All that work meaningless now.  I understand the disbelief that his parents are feeling.  They are reeling.[/b]

I feel for the humiliation and hurt that this victim endured that night and afterwards -  behind that dumpster and at the hospital and during the trial.  She has been through hell.  But I do not think that Brock is 100% responsible for the humiliation and hurt that she has endured...I do feel as though he is getting 100% of the blame for it though.  [/quote]

He deserves 100% of the blame.  How many times do people have to tell you, being drunk, no matter how drunk, does not give someone else permission to mistreat you in any way.  He committed the crime.  He had his due process and he was convicted.

You know more about him because his name is the one published. And, you know more about him, because we live in a culture that will stand up for a white star athlete and try to rationalize the worst behavior for him.  Sometimes, we do have to pay for the rest of our lives for a bad decision or one bad moment.  This was one of those moments.  [/quote]

His name and his family's names are out there.  That is why I know who they are.  I know he's been convicted that really isn't a question.  But folks on this thread are accusing him of being a violent predator and I really disagree with that characterization.  Of course I do not know all the facts of this case.  But neither do any of you.  To a large degree we are all guessing, speculating as to what happened that night and who did what.  Really none of us can possibly know for absolute certainty what happened.  Brock has talked to his family in detail and they will stand by him and make sure that when he is released he will become a productive member of our society.  That is all they can do.  But I know that they will do it.
