Sun Media reported today,
"Sexual assaults on a teen at Toronto's James Cardinal McGuigan Catholic high school were captured on the school's state-of-the-art security video system, police alleged yesterday."
The question I want answered to this is why if these assaults were caught on camera why was nothing done prior to now? Why did the school itself not act on this? Do they not review their own tapes until a complaint is filed? The media, the school nor the police have as of yet answered these questions as far as I have seen.
The other thing that is now comming to light is the "racist" card. Note that it was 16 black youths that were charged with crimes against a single white girl. Had this been the reverse I'm sure racism would have been the major headline. Racist remarks were not brought up by the the victim or the media, almost as if it were being avoided. Ironicly, now the parents of the accused are claiming the police of being racist.
"Some Toronto police officers fought back yesterday after charges of racism were levelled against the force by parents following the arrests of 16 suspects last week. The cops insisted they didn't improperly handle the suspects, as has been claimed, and their allegations against the accused are well-documented.
I personally don't believe any of this has anything to do with race or racism. It was a group of kids who found an easy victim, and as time passed it continued to escalate from typical bullying to sexual assault.
Candace over at Waking Up On Planet X, has an excellent post on this subject with a ongoing thread. She just may be psychic, as she posted this one on Friday, prior to all of this comming to public light. I do believe she was bang on. Check it out.

Thanks for picking this up. It needs to be discussed, because Edmonton is just a heartbeat away from Toronto with respect to this kind of atrocity.
IF, and it's a very big IF, it's bull$hit then she (the victim) should be called on the carpet. But videotapes don't generally lie, do they?
Thanks again for the support.
