Comments on: Letters – Sept. 26 http://homertribune.com/2012/09/letters-sept-26/ Homer, Alaska Fri, 17 May 2013 22:25:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Carrie http://homertribune.com/2012/09/letters-sept-26/comment-page-1/#comment-96052 Carrie Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:12:15 +0000 http://homertribune.com/?p=23182#comment-96052 I have never commented on a news article before... but I just recently heard about this myself and have been completely disgusted. Everyone that was at that party should be held accountable. It doesn't matter if you weren't involved in what happened. The fact that it was even allowed to happen... the blame is on all of them that were there. What is wrong with these kids that no one tried to stop what was happening? All of you people that were at this party and did nothing about this... you should be disgusted with yourselves, and I sure hope this comes to light and the ones who did it and where there can be held responsible.

I am Outraged!!! The incident was immediately under investigation from the HS and the HPD. Once the proper channels are navigated justice (or consequences) will be served to the responsible individual(s). The party was not inclusive to only athletes since a very diverse group of young people attended that were not limited to the football team, Homer High, Flex, or even school aged individuals. To announce the "football team" collectively as responsible is unfair and irresponsible. This is a serious and disturbing situation. My heart and mind is with the child that was assaulted and their family. I can't imagine what they are experiencing. It is a painful and confusing situation for all the kids including the ones that did not contribute to this heinous act but are being judged and treated as so. RE: Who is paying attention?

My heart aches his family and this community. I am sickened that this event has been swept under the rug- definitely not "boys being boys" event. How can we protect this community? When will it end?

Voices from the community should cry out against such egregious behavior." I demand this paper cover this story! So now the community is protecting rapists because they are on the football team?!! Where is the school? Last time the basketball team was caught drinking, even the friends who were called to pick them up were held accountable. Where is KBBI on this? This is unacceptable. Our children are not safe here? Our children can expect no justice in this community? “Recently, a drunken Homer high school party involving the football team resulted in the gang rape of a student, and yet this incident has not been brought to responsible news coverage nor, apparently, have there been serious consequences for the offenders.
