YES, Locomotive Breath!
And to the smearing they've resorted to ... Look at the N&O article a couple posts back by TexKat.
The N&O is tryhing to say alcohol is a Duke problem. Last year, in a widely publicized case, 2 men were shot and killed at North Carolina State in a Tailgating party.
NC State students living off-campus have had a big public feud with local residents of that community.
Crystal Mangnum (NCCU STUDENT!!) was LUCKY not to kill someone when she went the wrong way down highways in a stolen car at over TWICE the LEGAL Limit.
There have been publicized near riots at UNC involving drinking and celebrations of team victories. They had an Arts Festival near UNC that they had to terminate (No future festivals) due to shootings surrounding that event.
The N&O and the larger media is doing this because they're white and perceived as powerful (they're 19 years old).
The other part of the smearing involves looping them into a group. For instance bringing in drinking incidents of previous lacrosse teams that have graduated. I cannot name another Criminal incident where the press blamed individuals for other members (or former members) behavior.
They've lumped them all together. They all look alike.
