I am not seeking to make light of this matter.
The pattern is clear.
When it comes to the question of an assault upon a Black person...............the race of the assailant determines the intensity of the outrage that is expressed by the forces of "Fight The Power".
This post is not focused upon the rape of this 13 year old in Stone Mountain GA or the kidnapping and sexual assault of Megan Williams Of West Virginia in 2007. (Note: Williams was also mentally challenged and recanted some portion of the original claims of assault. )
The real story here is how third parties make mischief with the news of a sexual assault. Race is the caustic ingredient which defines the intensity of the public reaction (or none at all).
The use of the "protection of a woman's honor" as the proxy for racial outrage and/or violence has been an important attribute of the divide between Black and White since the origins of our interaction. Of course the institution of slavery and Jim Crow had it as a given that a White man's sexual assault upon a Black female was condoned per the protections afforded to it under the law. The failure to prosecute the action because the relative value of the White male to a Black female was a cornerstone of White Supremacy. Likewise Emmitt Till was murdered and his killers set free because he violated the "sanctity" of a White woman by whistling at her. A "crime" that was punishable by death in Mississippi during his day.
With so many of our community resources focused upon the external threat that has proven to be the agent which can provoke the strongest bonds of "enforced ideological unity" within the Black Community - the most frequent threats to our people within this protective cover often comes from the threats within. After suffering from the "anti-matter" force called "benign neglect" - these, the would be "pillars of our community" are allowed to fester into the prevailing threats. I have a large video library of Black women and senior citizens who are on the local news camera saying "I do not feel safe in this community. I am looking for another place to live".
The New Governance Model Of The Black Community Via Management Science
Why did I make this post? (Besides the claims that "I hate Black people" as a "self-hater"?)
The answer is because I see that the only way to obtain the desired outcomes within the Black community is by forcing a set of dimensions which function as confinements by those who seek to "boil the ocean" in the maintenance of their agenda.
In this particular confinement my goal is to establish a COST that is borne on the backs of the Black community as the embedded confidence men promote the threat of the White (racist) enemy who seeks to rape all of our women over their fiduciary responsibility to maintain a normalized level of safety and protection for all who are within - REGARDLESS of the race of the assailant.
The prospect of seeing the ominous pictures of two Black males, "darkening" the front page of the local news paper - fomenting the notion in the minds of White people that "Black people are violent people" and "Black communities are dangerous" is most disconcerting to those who are most guilty in running the misappropriations of our conscious attention. One can hear this in their arguments.
Instead of defining a desired level of acceptable behavior WITHIN the Black community and putting forth an effective "human resource governance" model - the news that White people (Fox News) has made an indictment against the safety of the Black community will be followed with evidence that "White communities experience violence and rapes as well".
"They are in the mud with is" provokes the spirit of contentment more than it solves any problems within our community.
Without our people "knowing ourselves" and defining what is tolerable per our own community definitions - we will remain vulnerable to the antics put forth by the "Embedded Confidence Men".
Functionally - the value of the victim within our community is related to the value of the assailant as an organizing point of angst for the congregation.
By the same token - if aggressively and publicly going after the assailant would perpetuate certain negative stereotypes of Black people - then the victim is forced to suffer in relative silence.
The most rational means of addressing this dichotomy is to proactively engage the people within the community, making them conscious of the value of people and ensuring that there is a culture in place by which the normative standard is advanced which promotes the premium value of all people.

The girl was allegedly picked up by the brothers and taken to their nearby Seneca Way home.
