"Horrific," "shocking," "morally reprehensible." CBS' Sandra Hughes quite rightly abandoned journalistic non-judgmental norms to lash out at the Saturday night outrage on the campus of Richmond High School in the San Francisco Bay area. As the homecoming dance at the school gym was finishing, a 15-year-old female student was raped over and over again: "Police say at least twenty people were either involved in the rape--or stood and watched the crime without going for help." Richmond HS does not have a stellar reputation, Hughes pointed out: local reporters at KPIX-TV investigated its security and found "only a handful" of cameras working. The school has a 69% truancy rate and 19 students were murdered in the school district last year.
