Vanderbilt Football Rape Was Payback For ‘400 Years Of Slavery'
2016-07-19
[Daily Caller] According to a report by The Tennessean, former Vanderbilt football player Cory Batey told the young woman whom he and three other men raped that her assault was payback "for 400 years of slavery."

Batey was sentenced to 15 years in prison last week -- the minimum sentence allowed under the law -- for raping and then urinating on the unconscious victim, who was 21 years old at the time. Metro Nashville police reportedly discovered explicit photographs and video of the rape during their investigation, which were shown to the victim.

"There were five acts of sexual assault and rape committed by him and him alone, and there were seven acts of violence he was found guilty of committing against me," the victim said in her testimony. "But sexual assault was not where the attack ended. Mr. Batey continued to abuse and degrade me, urinating on my face while uttering horrific racial hate speech that suggested I deserved what he was doing to me because of the color of my skin. He didn’t even know who I was."

According to The Tennessean, prosecutors had successfully kept the exact words of Batey's "horrific racial hate speech" from being used in trial. However, multiple sources told the newspaper on Friday that during the attack Batey had said: "That's for 400 years of slavery, you bitch."

#11  They should hold them in the Byrdstown, TN city jail. I'm sure they'd enjoy their brief stay.

#10  Urinating on someone should have added an agg. Assault charge which usually carries another 15 years.

#8  They'll be out in seven years. With any luck, they'll have a "welcome home" party soon thereafter.

#7  Fine...If they're that tied to slavery still then the traditional punishment for raping a white woman applies circa 1840's.

BTW you scumbag, enjoy not having an NFL future...then again, given the proclivities of the National Felons League...who knows.

#6  TW, couldn't agree with you more.

American exceptionalism exists not because of any genetic superiority but because individualism flourished (note the tense) so that smart, ambitious people came here and were allowed to follow their dreams....to success or failure.

This national characteristic is being beaten out of America by the Marxist,progressive elite.

#5  And for all that he only got 15 years? And this wasn't a so-called hate crime?

Sounds to me like the Prosecutor agreed with him that it was juatified for 400 years of slavery - so sought the minimum sentence and actively hid the racial hatred aspects.

(Oh I forget, only whitey can do hate crimes...).

#3  The natural outcome of using the Marxist view of people as merely interchangeable members of various good or bad classes instead of the American tradition of seeing them as individuals.

#1  Slavery, colonialism, white privilege, racist police, poverty, take your pick. The actions of the entitled noble savage are easily explained away.
