First, the article is wrong that the victim left the dance before calling her dad for a ride. She called her father and then went outside for him to pick her. While the brutal assualt was occuring, the father was looking for his daughter inside the building.
Secondly, start talking about and blaming the real root of the problem; the home environment and lack of parenting that led to how these young men developed totally void of a moral and social conscience

Agreed that the home environment generally sucks in "da hood"! The girls/women get impregnated starting when they are barely into puberty and "my baby's daddy" immediately bails out, searching for another bitch or hoe to knock up and desert. Kids are raised on welfare bucks while mama smokes crack, gets looped on booze and gives $10 blow jobs on San Pablo avenue. No it's not that bad in EVERY family and some women do the best they can in raising their kids. Some daddies also face up to their responsibility but sadly they are the exception and not the rule. In general family life in "da hood" sucks big time!
Then you have the OUTSIDE OF THE HOME ENVIRONMENT! Start with that cultural rot called "gangsta rap" which glorifies punks, thugs and gangs just as it condones every uncivil and criminal act up to and including rape and murder. Women are considered "bitches" and "hoes" whose main purpose in life is to sexually satisfy the thugs at all times and to be beat up or raped if they fail to do just that. Great message for impressionable young people eh? Then you have those violent video games, many of them nothing more than crime and murder simulators. I could go on and on....even if you are trying to be a good parent you are totally fucked before you start!

My be she was just dragged off and forced to drink. That is a probability.

Nah from all the evidence it doesn't appear that's what happened. She chose to drink just as many teens do. Regardless of that and whether she drank too much of not, even if she passed out...it doesn't mean she or any girl or woman deserved to be raped by a pack of animals. Witnesses have already confirmed that's exactly what happened.

Are you sure she chose to drink? Where did that info come from? My understanding was that she was just waiting for her ride. Outside the building.
