The AP's second-week story on the Montclair football rape case paints a picture of a town calmly taking it all in.
This article end with a former high school sports player saying:
"As athletes, we're babied so long, we feel like we can do whatever we want to do to whoever we want."

I don't understand this bullshit. It seems as if any mainstream journalism that Montclair gets is negative. Why? I can think of no other reason than Montclair being a diverse town. The radio show a few years back, discrediting the integration, claiming it doesn't work. New York times, bringing race into the article. Now the AP, trying to discredit the town's people. There's 2 sides to every story. If you look for problems and controversy, you will always find it, simply because nothing in this world is perfect. There is always a flaw. Rather than capitalize on that flaw, why not take a look at the good things that greatly outnumber the bad? When you begin by looking for imperfections, it blinds you from all the beautiful things. When you begin by looking for the good, you start to take everything as it is. Sometimes the things that, by themselves, disgust you become part of the beauty of the whole.
