Lacrosse accuser to speak To address justice system, the media Rachel Coleman, Staff Writer

Published: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Updated: Wednesday, April 22, 2009

The woman involved in the Duke University lacrosse team scandal more than three years ago will make a rare public appearance today at UNC as part of an event about social injustice.

Crystal Gail Mangum, who accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, will speak in the Sonja Haynes Stone Center about “the harsh realities of minority treatment both in the justice system and the media,” according to the event’s press release.

The lacrosse players were later declared innocent by Attorney General Roy Cooper, who said Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong rushed to accuse based on false information.

Did those Lacrosse players stay at Duke or did they transfer to another University? And did they ever attempt to sue the professors, faculty, the false accuser, and whoever else all ganged up against them for defamation after it was all done with?

Just as I said several months ago. She will be sanitized, cleansed, forgiven and achieve fame. This is how it works. Anyone who is willing to lie and falsely accuse White males about anything at all, as long as it is a lie, will be given credibility by the left.
I expect her to get an important position within the democrat party before long.

The entire UNC system is a leftist toilet bowl. Recall the Tancredo incident a few weeks ago.

Also, just read Mike Adams. He teaches in this system and exposes the leftism frequently.

She should stick to topics she knows something about. Maybe she’ll talk about the best ways to mix crack and vodka. Or give the coed’s some tips on earning a little money in the exciting world of prostitution. (”You, too, can be a ho.”) Or how to cry rape to evade being locked up for public intoxication.

If I were a UNC parent, I would be so proud and pleased to see my child was getting such a solid foundation in life.

Oh good grief! This trashy woman lied through her teeth. Now she wants to tell her story. How much is she getting paid to tell the audience that she lied. Liars getting paid to entertain an audience telling them she lied and tried to ruins lives of other people.

Let me get this straight: Tom Tancredo is refused the right to speak at a small gathering in a UNC-Chapel Hill classroom, but this liar (who should be serving time for perjury) is invited to speak to the student union about how badly minorities are treated by the media?

The falsely accused innocent White males have been sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. They would have a long uphill battle to try to recover damages for the deliberate lies, slander and character defamation, since White males are assumed to be always guilty and wrong.

The world is upside down in many ways. This is one of those ways. She is a celebrity of sorts, in that she is famous and well known. So now she’s going to lecture us about minority treatment in the justice system and the media?

Anybody who is a celebutard for any reason nowadays gets a platform to lecture the rest of us. The chutzpah(sp?) of these people is amazing.

Next, will she ghost write a book about her victimization? Will she go on Oprah and Tyra Banks and the Today Show?

Amazing how the person who instigated an incident is portrayed as the victim. If she had stuck to stripping and dancing and God knows what else she does, and didn’t falsely accuse people of anything, she wouldn’t have become a victim. Will anyone ever call this to her attention that she brought everything that happened to her on herself????????

Social Justice is one bizarre creature. It punishes perceived crimes of the through crimes real or imagined of today.

If I recall correctly, a lot of Duke professors were on record as saying that they didn’t care if these guys were guilty of the crimes they were accused of, they wanted justice for crimes of the distant past and were willing to hang the innocent to get it.

Why isn’t this freakin scumbag not rotting away in jail?

I think anyone who makes a false accusation should have to serve the maximum possible sentence that the accused would have faced.

This has GOT to be about the best textbook definition of irony I have seen in a while.

Speaking of which, does this scumbag still have parental rights over her children? And if so, why?

It gets better!
Following Mangum’s speech will be a question-and-answer session with the audience. Questions will be submitted beforehand to organizers to prevent questions related to the Duke lacrosse team. Organizers are ensuring that security will be present at the event in light of last week’s protests that prevented former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo from speaking.
They are going to make sure that the issue of her crimes, and her responsibility in the unjust procution of non-minorities, will never be brought up.

Oh, I see. She’s planning to say It’s A Black Thing.

Tawana Brawley could not be reached for comment.

I hope they give her a drug test and a breathalyzer test prior to her “speakikng”. She was known to down a few quarts of ice beer first for “courage”.

Let’s see if her words are slurred.

I don’t know where Reade Seligman finished school, but I do know that his senior year definitely didn’t happen at Duke. What a shameful, shameful thing!

“Cracks in the Justice System: Victims of Money, Media and Misconduct”

April 22, 2009, Hitchcock Lounge of Stone Center, 6:30pm - 8:00pm

This event is hosted by the Alpha Chapter of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc., the Mu Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and the Alpha Iota Chapter of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Inc.

Crystal Mangum and Ed Clark will be speaking about the harsh realities of minority treatment both in the justice system and the media based on their own experiences. Not only that but student leaders will also speak at the end of the event to put this case into a larger socio-political context in the state of North Carolina.

Our primary focus will be on prosecutorial misconduct, the influence of the media, race, class and gender, and how her voice was pushed aside and deemed nonsensical.

Dave Evans was a senior and graduated from Duke but could not attend his graduation ceremony due to security concerns. He was arrested the next day. Reade Seligman and Collin Finnerty had been arrested earlier and suspended. After missing approximately a year of school, they transferred to Brown and Loyola of Maryland, respectively, where they continue to play lacrosse.

The three falsely accused lacrosse players settled with Duke University but are still suing Durham and other parties.

The some of the remainder of the team and the former coach are also plaintiffs in various lawsuits. I think the Wiki link given by Lonesome in MA is reasonably OK.

IMO she should be ignored. The less media attention the better. If Tancredo had been allowed to speak without incident, no one would of heard that he was there at all.

80 lost souls stumbled in, possibly intentionally in some cases, to see her compare herself to MLK in a video presentation, before claiming she had the flu and left without taking any questions. Didn’t see that coming, did you.
