Raquan Green, 17, and two 15-year-old boys were arrested on Thursday in connection to the incident, as well as six other robberies — two others involving abductions — in the area, Cola Daily reported.



Interesting comment I thought the board might like from a recent article


Knowing how to drive stick shift saves student from alleged kidnappers

quote:

A South Carolina college student narrowly escaped kidnappers who threatened to shoot and rape her — all because her abductors did not know how to drive a stick shift, it was revealed Tuesday


quote:

Then, three young men suddenly approached and pushed her to the ground — one pointing a gun and threatening to pull the trigger if Dinsmore kept screaming, according to the report.

The men, wearing all dark clothing, forced Dinsmore back into her car, where they realized that it had a stick shift they didn’t know how to operate, the paper reported.

One of the robbers took off upon the discovery, but the other two — one who was armed — forced Dinsmore into the driver’s seat.

Having control of the vehicle would ultimately save her.

The men first demanded that she take them to a nearby ATM. She obliged, pulling up to an ATM at a nearby gas station where she unbuckled her seat belt and withdrew $300 — the maximum allowed, the paper reported.

She never re-fastened her seat belt, hoping her kidnapper’s wouldn’t take notice of the beeping safety alarm.

“I was thinking somehow I have to get out of this,” she told the paper. “Can I crash the car? No, because it might knock me out and not them. Can I pull over or something? I have to get away from them.”

One of the men told Dinsmore they were heading to a relative’s house, where she would have sex with one of his friends, The State reported.

At one point, the captors told her to take a right. But the brave victim drove straight through the intersection, ignoring the men as they demanded she pull over.

Then she threw the car in neutral and jumped out at about 35 miles per hour, according to the report.

I just want to point out that hate crimes are an absurd notion altogether. If you kill/rape/assault someone, I'm pretty sure you hate that person.

15 years old committing kidnapping with intent to rape.

Sadly they will be back out in short order and probably pick up right where they left off.

This could have been prevented if white people didn't cut funding to their flag football tournament

Did she have a rebel flag decal or statue on her car?

If she did, I understand how seeing a rebel flag or statue could make you wanna kidnap and rape girls.

Just checking privilege. Nothing to see here.

Damn white people shouldn't just go and be targets like that. They do it on purpose to try and derail these kids' lives and exert their white supremacy.

It's one of the stupidest phrases that's been concocted.

And they'll rationalize it with some such poppycock as "the system is set up against us anyways."

Not necessarily. Sometimes you just love someone so much that you have to rape and kill them so that you can wear their skin and feel the true connection that the universe wants for the two of you forever.

I can understand the argument that poverty can lead people to desperate actions, but rape and murder is not something that simply being poor induces. Cultural attitudes are responsible for that level of immorality.

And then certain groups go on TV and march in the streets completely ignoring this fact and blaming cops and institutional racism for a problem that is much bigger and simpler than that.

Every murder by definition includes manslaughter but both crimes exist; there are tons of examples where one crime contains all of the elements of a lesser crime but a higher threshold regarding intent.

I get what you are saying, but you being "pretty sure" that there was (your personal definition of) hatred involved in a crime is very different than meeting the legal standards for proving a hate crime.

Hate crimes add an additional element that needs to be satisfied (and therefore are harder to prove) but can include a stronger punishment. Additionally, making something a federal hate crime provides an additional venue if a crime is ignored at the state/local level.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but this situation only had the potential to be worse if she had a gun.
