Gang bangers and rapists are not the same. The term gang banger alone does not alone make someone a criminal, however child predator, rapist, and felon do.

McMillan does not "look" like a gang banger either by the way based on ethnicity or hair. I doubt gangs would have him because he is soft. He could not handle or get with a woman of his equal or a man for his needs and preyed on a child.

Pedro what part of his photo or the articles did you delve into that cast light in his gang banging habits> Please note, he is not accused of any gang related crime. Additionally, if you think that his hair defines him as a gang banger, what gang is Alicia Keys in? She is gorgeous and sports a similar coined cultural hair style from time to time. For Pete's Sake it's hair man!

All teachers should be vanilla, boring, no stand outs? I understand why they taught you nothing. There is no mold for a good teacher. No gorgeous teachers? So if you are extremely attractive, you won't be a good teacher?

Ah yes more posts from our favorite southern moron. So you have a lot of experiance with "gang bangers" huh? Sorry your teachers were so plain and vanilla, although i'd be more upset about their lack of teaching skills as you demonstrate, than the way they dressed.

It's interesting that you mention the proximity of relationship; The movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" depicts an unhealthy relationship with a clear choice between a teenage girl and the band director's family. He chooses his family.

Mr. McMillan is a total kid magnet so don't let the dreadlocks throw you off; He's no gangbanger and you would probably like him (and his million dollar smile) if you met him. While he wasn't married at the time currently he's married to a beautiful lady and has two absolutely beautiful daughters. While I don't know current status she along with their daughter were recently estranged from him and without devulging the details he took total responsibility for that. He was also working through his issues with a pastor but consequences shmonsequences nothing!

Thank you PSU:
This is just another example where the law has yet to catch up with society. Kids now-a-days are not the little innocent beings we once were (or thought we were). Times have changed. I'm a set to believe that this situation was compromised in a huge way...how are the police so blind on all accounts? I'm not saying that this is a setup or that they didn't have sexual relations...I wasn't there so who knows except the 2 people involved. I just want to see a bit more accountability from the youngins...if they're so quick to grow up and drop their pants...why not treat them like the adults they so long to be? Life Lesson Numero Uno: In a relationship you're going to get hurt...don't be vindictive and attempt to ruin the other persons life (in said case this clearly happened). I just makes me think back to all those movies where the "innocent little tween" starts to date an older guy, gets hurt, and ruins his life in one way or another. I saw a certain chem teacher get removed from teaching for "accusations" set forth by a girl in my class. Malarkey!
My favorite part of the above quote:
"Have you seen the McCaskey childcare area? It's overflowing with students' children."

This was happening while I was in high school and from what i've seen and heard it's not getting any better. Trend? Fad? Reality? Take it as you will...I don't think that situation's going anywhere anytime soon and it should be addressed.
Enough digression. The reason I write is because I knew this guy for a few years and he was the nicest person ever. Not the aforementioned gang-banging-wanna-be-thug person that you all have so kindly labeled him as. Do I agree with what he did?! H3LLLLLLLL NO!!! The one thing you are all right about is that he should have known better. End of story. Do I agree with the charges?! H3LLLLLL NO!!! I don't believe this is a potential life imprisonment type situation.
Overall...this entire situation is just sad. And in actuality I do feel bad for all involved. Do I feel bad for the young girl....certainly. She now has learned a life lesson at a young age that some people don't learn until almost out of high school. If my post sounds a bit contradictory and conflicted it's because I am; and largely i'm playing devils advocate because I knew Norman. If it were my daughter that this happened to...i'd most likely be screaming bloody murder.
P.S. I love how this syndication runs a story on the following day about the same choir and fails to mention any of these accounts:

Also, for those who mentioned about band/choir members being close to their leaders and peers is so true...it's even mentioned by one of the students in that article.
Thank you for letting me rant...and I hope I don't get flammed too badly. But hey...we all have our opinions.
