Mitt Romeny was 18 when he led a gang attack on a gay student at his prep school with a pair of scissors and, according to others in the gang of attackers, gloried both before and after in their attack. He was an adult, certainly by law, today, probably he would have been considered eligible to be tried as an adult under the law then.
And it's time people stopped talking about it as "bullying", this was a criminal assault by a cowardly gang on an individual with a weapon
If he was an 18-year-old of color, there is no doubt that this would have been played as a major campaign issue. If he was a Democrat, it would probably end his campaign. I'll bet that the Republicans are looking for something in Barack Obama's past to inoculate Romney with. The difference is that Obama endorsed gay marriage yesterday. Romney attacked gay marriage yesterday, when he was 65.
