Another Gang Rape of Teenager in Calif. Community

Same Old Song -- Different Day

Saturday, January 16, 2010

RICHMOND, Calif. — Police in a city still coping with the recent gang rape of a teenager are reporting that another girl has been sexually assaulted by a group.

Richmond police Sgt. Bisa French said four males in a black Buick approached a 15-year-old girl around 5 p.m. Friday.

One suspect with a gun forced her into the car after she ignored them.

French said they drove around for several hours before stopping at an unknown location, where two of them raped her.

A police officer found her around midnight miles from the kidnapping spot.

French said police have few leads on the suspects, who were in their late teens to early 20s.

Earlier Friday, Richmond police announced a search for a seventh suspect in the October gang rape of a 16-year-old girl outside a homecoming dance.

Nothing here is gonna change until the remaining civilized people in CA society resume the function of the Vigilance Committees. It's far too late for the Neighborhood Watches to do any good.

Fiscal liberalism has tarnished California gold


By George F. Will -- Sunday, January 10, 2010

Dalton Trumbo (1905-76) was a hero to the American left, partly because of his 1939 antiwar novel "Johnny Got His Gun." Trumbo's title modified the lyric "Johnny, get your gun" from the World War I song "Over There." Trumbo's "Johnny" is horribly maimed in that war. Now we need a novel titled "Berkeley Got Its Liberalism." Pending that, we have Tad Friend's report, in the Jan. 4 New Yorker, on maimed Berkeley.
