It's definitely a "frat bro" mentality, you'd only see it in a frat or a sports team. I was in a frat so I get the mentality but even we were tame in comparison but I did hear stories of guys double teaming or more girls at frat parties. The hockey guys are a bit of a different story and it's more intense in hockey than in a frat IMO for this sense of comradery to the point of inviting guys over to tag team a girl.

Who knows how much of it was entirely Michael though. She might have planted the seed in his head. That part I didn't hear. Her testimony was that he never asked her before he called his friends and I never clarified with my source what his stance was. I could see her potentially "joking" about it the day before and him just doing it without asking because he figured she'd be into it based on some stuff he said but that he didn't explicitly ask her in the morning. An oversight for sure but a reasonable one. He fucked up in that regard but if this was all a trap anyhow, it's what she wanted.

Michael kinda let his bros down too cause he put them in a dangerous situation and essentially ruined their lives. He should have trusted the girl more before getting his friends in. The 4 other guys would have trusted him to have properly vetted the girls willingness and trustworthiness when they came over so they weren't putting themselves at risk and Michael failed in this, letting his friends down. Not entirely his fault but if there was going to be 1 person to get in trouble with anything, it would be him though him and his friends have already more than suffered enough.
