That's pretty obvious.

that in a group, especially an "elite" and exclusive group like a football team or fraternity, they will act in despicable and sometimes criminal fashion, doing things they never would do individually.

white supremacy crowd.

I suspect that many of the "nazis" marching in Charlottesville would never do anything so publicly despicable if they were not part of their male group.

Male group violence gives good cover to cowards.

Cross burning and KKK hoods is pure racism.

No excuses.

I've seen it before when a bunch of football players ran across town breaking windows and yard lights. Mine was one of them. Even though the damages were thousands of dollars, they delayed punishment until later in the year. That sure wasn't much punishment.
