IT LOOKS LIKE AN IDAHO TEEN FOOTBALL PLAYER IS GOING TO WALK
FREE AFTER ALL OF THE EVIDENCE POINTED TO THE FACT THAT HE
SODOMIZED AN ATHLETE ALONG WITH TWO OTHER FRIENDS AND WHAT
SEEMED LIKE A RACIALLY MOTIVATED ATTACK.
THIS IS THE PERSON, JOHN HOWARD.
HE IS A TRANSFER TO AN IDAHO SCHOOL.
HE PLED GUILTY FRIDAY TO ONE FELONY COUNT OF INJURY TO A
CHILD AND HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE ATTACK.
IT OCCURRED IN OCTOBER 23, 2015
WHEN HE AND TWO OTHER STUDENTS PRETENDED TO OFFER THE VICTIM
A HUG, THEN HELD HIM DOWN AND SODOMIZED HIM WITH A COAT HANGER.
KTVP REPORTS A THIRD ATTACKER THEN KICKED THE COAT HANGAR
SEVERAL TIMES, FORCING IT FARTHER INTO THE VICTIM'S
BODY AND CAUSING RECTAL INJURIES THAT REQUIRED TREATMENT AT
A HOSPITAL.
IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO JUST WALK AWAY.
HERE IS THE QUOTE FROM DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL CASEY HEMMER.
HE DID CALL THIS BEHAVIOR EGREGIOUS BUT HE SAID QUOTE WE
DON'T BELIEVE IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR MR.
HOWARD TO SUFFER
THE CONSEQUENCES OF A SEX OFFENDER.
HE INSTEAD, THE PROSECUTION RECOMMENDED 300 HOURS OF COMMUNITY
SERVICE AND HE IS ALLOWED TO MAINTAIN HIS INNOCENCE.
THERE IS STILL A $10 MILLION CIVIL SUIT PENDING BUT THAT IS
FOCUSED MORE AGAINST THE SCHOOL WHO ACCORDING TO THIS, THE
CIVIL SUIT, MR.
HOWARD IS A RELATIVE OF PROMINENT
INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY AND, AT LEAST IN PART DUE
TO HIS ATHLETIC ABILITY AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS, THE
DEFENDANTS IGNORED OVER DELIBERATELY INDIFFERENT TO THE
BEHAVIOR OF MR.
HOWARD WHICH INCLUDED AGGRESSION, TAUNTING
AND BULLYING THE PLAINTIFF AND OTHER STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT.
THE VICTIM WAS A MENTALLY DISABLED BLACK TEEN.
I'M SURE THERE IS A LOT OF OUTRAGE ABOUT THIS STORY ON
FOX NEWS.
I'M SURE THEY ARE COVERING IT ALL DAY TODAY AND THAT THEY
ARE BLAMING AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR THE ACTIONS OF
THIS ONE PERSON.
THERE'S AN OBVIOUS REASON WHY WE ARE DOING THIS STORY.
I THINK IT IS VERY TRANSPARENT.
SOMETHING HIDEOUS HAPPENED
YESTERDAY IN CHICAGO WHERE FOUR BLACK YOUNG ADULTS ESSENTIALLY
KIDNAPPED AND TORTURED A MENTAL DISABLED WHITE GUY.
JUSTICE WAS SWIFT.
THEY WERE ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY.
THEY ARE, I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND, THEY WILL FACE PRISON TIME.
THAT IS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN.
IT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED
IN THIS CASE AS WELL REGARDLESS OF THIS PERSON'S RACE OR
THEIR ETHNICICITY AND ECONOMIC STATUS, HE SHOULD BE IN PRISON
BECAUSE HE SODOMIZED SOMEONE.
HE TORTURED SOMEONE.
HE EXPLOITED SOMEONE WHO IS MENTALLY DISABLED AND NO
ONE CARES.
WE ARE NOT REPORTING THIS TO MAKE A POLITICAL POINT
ALTHOUGH THERE IS ONE TO TAKE AWAY.
WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A VERY CLEAR
DOUBLE STANDARD IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM AND NOT JUST THAT, A
CLEAR DOUBLE STANDARD IN PUBLIC OPINION AND FOR ANYONE WHO
IS NOT AS OUTRAGED BY THIS STORY, THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH YOU BECAUSE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE VICTIM'S
SKIN COLOR IS, NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE TREATED
LIKE THIS, NO ONE ANYWHERE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THIS.
WHAT TROUBLES ME, ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT TROUBLES ME
ABOUT THIS CASE IS THE INSTINCT FROM THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO SAY I DON'T THINK THIS REALLY QUALIFIES AS A SEX CRIME.
WHAT IS IT THEN?
TELL THE VICTIM THAT.
THERE ARE A LOT OF CHILDREN THAT FIGHT AND A LOT OF
CHILDREN GET INTO FISTFIGHTS BUT THIS IS REALLY MESSED UP.
THIS IS EXTREMELY PERVERSELY MESSED UP.
I WANTED TO BEAT PEOPLE UP, BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN LIKE YOU
KNOW WHAT I WANT TO DO?
THIS.
THIS IS CRAZY.
WHAT WE ARE SEEING IS A PREVALENCE OF EXCUSES ON THE
SIDE OF THE DEFENDANT.
LET'S TAKE THIS AWAY.
LET'S SAY IT IS NOT RACIALLY MOTIVATED OR SEXUALLY
MOTIVATED, WHAT ARE WE LEFT WITH?
WE'RE LEFT WITH A VERY DANGEROUS SOCIOPATH WHO HAS REALLY
EXPRESSED NO REMORSE FOR HIS ACTIONS AND WOULD LIKE TO
MAINTAIN HIS INNOCENCE.
THAT'S PART OF THE PLEA DEAL IS THAT HE CAN SAY THAT HE IS
INNOCENT BUT ALSO CONTEND THAT HE PROBABLY WOULD BE FOUND
GUILTY IF HE WERE TO GO ON TRIAL.
THE AGREEMENT THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO COME TO IS
INCREDIBLY TROUBLESOME.
THE ATTORNEY ON THE SIDE OF THE PLAINTIFF HAS BEEN REPRESENTED
SEXUAL ASSAULT FOR 40 YEARS AND HE SAID HE ABSOLUTELY PROTESTS
THIS DECISION ON THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AND HE
SHOULD AND HE IS BAFFLED BY HOW THIS WAS ABLE TO MOVE
FORWARD AND I JUST THINK THAT WHEN PEOPLE WHO ARE SAYING
HE IS NOT A SEX OFFENDER.
HE DOESN'T DESERVE THAT.
TAKE THAT OUT OF IT.
HE IS STILL A CRUEL PERSON.
HE TORTURED A MENTALLY DISABLED PERSON.
IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE LABELS OUT OF IT AND JUST FOCUS ON
THE PHYSICAL CRIME THAT TOOK PLACE, HE PUT A COATHANGER
IN A MENTALLY DISABLED PERSONS BODY AND CAUSED RECTAL
INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THAT.
IF YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON SEX CRIMES OR RACE OR ANYTHING,
FOCUS ON THE HIDEOUSNESS OF WHAT OCCURRED PHYSICALLY.
YOU THINK THAT PERSON SHOULD WALK FREE?
BY THE WAY, THE REASON WHY I WANT JUSTICE IN THIS CASE
IS NOT ONLY FOR THE VICTIM, BUT TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF
BEHAVIOR FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE.
YOU LET PEOPLE GET AWAY FROM DOING THIS KIND OF STUFF, IT
EMBOLDENS THEM DIE IF THEY ARE TOLD I COME FROM A CERTAIN
TYPE OF FAMILY, I HAVE A CERTAIN TIME OF CONNECTIONS, I CAN GET
AWAY WITH THESE TYPES OF THINGS, YOU THINK YOU WANT TO IT AGAIN?
COME ON.
I AGREE WITH YOUR RULE OF LAW INTERPRETATIONS WHO FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE TO SPOUT IT.
THAT WOULD BE IT.
THERE IS A LAW, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
I ALSO THINK THAT ANY ACTIONS OR CRIMES THAT TAKE PLACE AGAINST
MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED HATE CRIMES.
I THINK THEY DEFINITELY BELONG IN THAT CATEGORY AND I KNOW THAT
THERE IS AN OBLIGATION FOR ME TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THE RACIAL
COMPONENT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT PRESSURE ALL THE TIME AND THAT
IS WAY YOU TELL, NAMES AND TELL ME WANT TO SODOMIZED ME WITH A
HANGER BUT I JUST THINK THAT FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON MY
FACEBOOK PAGE WHO I THINKS SUCCESSFULLY DELETED THAT WERE
OUTRAGED WITH THE WHOLE BLACK RACE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
YESTERDAY WHO TODAY DECIDED TO POST ABOUT ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER SOURCE AND
ANGER AND TALK ABOUT OTHER THINGS BECAUSE THIS BLACK LIFE
DIDN'T MATTER TO YOU, LIKE I ALWAYS SAY AS A MOTHER BLACK
CHILDREN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
TO SEND YOUR MENTALLY DISTURBED CHILD TO SCHOOL AND FOR HIM
TO BE ATTACKED, THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED ARE VERY OPEN ABOUT WHAT IT IS.
WHEN SOMEONE VIOLATES YOUR BODY, WHEN SOMEONE TAKES CHARGE
OF YOUR BODY, WHETHER IT IS ANALLY OR WHATEVER IT IS,
IT IS A SEXUAL ASSAULT.
LIKE YOU SAID, YOU WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT SAYING I AM
GOING TO DRIVE A HANGER UP A SOMEBODY'S BUTT.
THAT IS SICK AND TWISTED AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY SO
MANY PEOPLE ARE OUTRAGED AND LACK EMPATHY WHEN IT
HAPPENS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION BECAUSE WE ARE VOICELESS.
WE ARE NOT SEEN OR HEARD AND WE ARE NOT RESPECTED IN OUR
BODIES ME NOTHING.
IF THAT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU, THEN YOU ARE PART OF THE
PROBLEM.
ALL OF THIS IS SICK.
JUST AS MANY PEOPLE CABLE MY FACEBOOK PAGE TO USE THIS
AS EXAMPLE TO JUSTIFY WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY AND I
DELETED THEM TO BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS THAT WE LACK EMPATHY.
ALL OF IT IS WRONG.
IF YOU THINK IT'S COOL TO MESS WITH SOMEBODY WHO IS MENTALLY
DISTURBED THEN YOU ARE JUST AS SICK AND THAT IS OUR PROBLEM.
WE LACK EMPATHY.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ME.
DON'T TWEET ME WITH THE GARBAGE BECAUSE I AM ON FIRE LIKE
THIS ONE TODAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS ON FIRE.
YOU ARE ON FIRE, WE HAVE MANY WITNESSES.
ALSO IT'S POSSIBLE THAT JOHN HOWARD, TO DO SOMETHING LIKE
THIS, I WENT TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AT THAT KID'S HOUSE.
I WANT TO SEE IF THAT KID IS BEEN THE VICTIM OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT.
PLAYING THE NUMBERS, IT IS VERY POSSIBLE AND IF SO, IS A
CONSISTENT APPROACH THAT EVERYONE HAS GOING INTO
THESE THINGS.
LET'S FIND OUT ALL THE FACTS.
LET'S NOT JUST SAY 300 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.
LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT INTO FURTHER ILLUMINATE THE HATE
CRIME ASPECT OF IT ACCORDING TO KATE CB NEWS, THE REAL LINGER
ALSO POSTED A CONFEDERATE FILE ON THE VICTIM'S COMPUTER
AND MADE HIM LEARN A RACIST SONG.
