how tha hell can 1 b innocent wen he was there regardless of weather he did anything or not he still getting the same charges as the others u gonna say he didnt hear them women screaming while he was outside? wen he did find out this was going on y da hell didnt he leave and call the police then. Just because u knew him b4 this happened doesnt mean u really knew him, u knew the side he wanted u 2 kno, my thing is if women invite u 2 their hoouse at 3am y u gotta take sum, clearly they was gon give u sum anyway hey get wat they deserve just as if it was your girls and sum1 did it 2 them. Dnt take up 4 people who got themselves into dumb situations like this because u wasnt there.Ladies got to b more careful just because a person look innocent doesnt mean they really are

@st8up, Wow. your grasp of the english language is so poor I am tempted to beieve that you're trying to be funny because the alternative is too depressing. I hope that yo fo chirren get betta learnin at da skoo day goes ta. Anyway, if "Brain", as you call him, didn't beat and rape anyone, then the girls won't say that he did. It's pretty simple stuff. Besides, how innocent can someone be if their friends do that? You are the company that you keep. Also, teenages have no damn business being out at da club till 3am in the 1st place. This is what happens when children don't have real parents in their lives.

To bsmoke7--obviously you must lead a dull life because young people often go out to club ,which by the way normally doesn't close until after 3am, and aren't ready to go home or end the party lets say and it doesn't mean that they want anything more than to chill if anything else transpires it's usually not rape or robbery!

Don't that one in the middle look like a broke Chris Rock. And that one on the end looks like he was the ring leader.

Its really sending out a message that if you do the right thing and go to the police your goin to recieve the same punishment as the person who did the crime. Guess thats why not to many people do the right thing like Brian tried to do.I hope the police were smart enough to get the D.N.A sample from the girl that was raped.At least maybe that way some of the truth will come out.

Our prays go out to brain and his family. as he was outside when most of this accured. Once he relized what was goin on he came in and tried to calm the girls down. AS thy all feard for there lifes when antonio was holdin a gun on all of them. What you dont know is it was all antonois ideal no one knew what he was bout to do. They all thought they were goin to chill with the girls after leaving the club. This is why brain made the call to the detectives.I am the mother of four my yougest two have been friends with brain the greater part of there lives.Brian has been in my home so much you could say he lived here. I have never incounterd him even trying to steal from me, never missed a ring a gun, or any money as I often leave my purse in plan sight in my livingroom. So before you try to play God and condemn a men you should know the whole truth!!! "IT WAS ALL ANTONIOS BAD IDEAL AND BRAIN NEVER RAPED OR BEAT ANYONE"

THe courts needs to start charging these JUVENILES as ADULTS when they comment these VIOLENT crimes. The HELL with the slap on the wrist, That went out in Kindergarden. Start making an example out of these wannabe GANGSTA THUGS. Pretty much they're not doing anything with their lives besides terrorizing innocent people.....
