I can add one thing (which can also be seen in another reply to a different comment). Via Wikipedia: "The 14 year old girl was found outside her home after two to three hours in freezing weather while her friend had gone inside. One of the alleged rapists is the grandson of a former longtime member of the Missouri House of Representatives." this song clearly points both things out; the girl was waiting on the cold "concrete floors" and the first lines "I forgot to thank you for the blood you shed, and your obligatory contribution to the community" are clearly referring to the fact that one of the teenagers has a father working in government and probably has a military record. |

I think Justin is wrong, and the OP is right in that it deals with the "Maryville Rape Case." Although it makes sense as to why you'd think it's Canadian-related due to the band's location, but the facts show other wise.
