A lot of people have mdae similar remarks. Even Brodhead made similar remarks about "if they are innocent, how unfortunate," and giving them an opportunity to "prove their innocence," like it is no big deal to them or their families. And who can forget Nifong's statement about "their daddies" will get them off. Arrogant and childish, and not one of them has learned a thing.
It is unbelievable, and we can only hope that these folks will be held accountable at the end of the day. Absent such accountability, they will believe in their bones that they did not do a thing wrong.
Cash Michaels moves a step further away from rape and towards a commercial dispute. He is certainly undermining Nifong with the black community. Still he wants to hang on something went down at that party.
That's right, still pandering...
This article it just a prelude to some other indefensible charge... Michaels now wants the guys to prove they didn't push the AV down the steps and rape her in the 5 minutes she was out of Kim's sight at 12:36.... Where does that leave him on Reade?
He has gone to making up statements... Bissey said she went back to get her shoe... We can see that she has her other stuff on the porch... Why doesn't CM tell us that in their voluntary 8 hours statements the unindicted players told the police they found the AV's stuff in the back yard where she dropped it after falling down the steps
Unless he is privy to more of Bissey's statement than I've seen reported, Bissey didn't say they yelled B!tch..
Also, why didn't he mention that the players with something to actually tell the DA were denied access. Remember the "I know more about this case then they will ever know" comment.
And ultimately are we to believe from CM that his community is really so shallow as to believe all they needed to hear to prove guilt was.....
For the Black community, allegations that the alleged victim and Kim Roberts Pittman were taunted with racial epithets, a broom handle, called “niggers,” and the target of one player’s quip, “Bitch, thank you granddaddy for my cotton shirt,” cemented the stark picture drawn by D.A. Nifong that race was an essential catalyst to the alleged crime.
There was little doubt that the players knew something they weren’t talking about.
I don't for a second think CM has turned. He's just trying to avoid the koolaid drinker label by dancing around the edges...
Unfortunately, as soon as the case heats up - people like Cash are going to run back to the side they're comfortable on.
Our Culture doesn't assign any negatives to black racism - and Universities even teach there is no such thing.
Notice how Black people aren't afraid to get on TV and say that they support the woman whether she made it up or not - and the players are guilty - even if they didn't acutally rape her.
Take it how you like, but after 32 years in LE, including several years in uniform before I went to detectives, I have a pretty good idea of what cops do when responding to this kind of call. They had no reason at the time to be suspicious of Kim. She was ostensibly a good samaritan making a minor complaint. It was basically a drunk in public call, very common, and very minor. If this had been a call that involved an injury, accident, fight, theft, weapon, something like that, that would be different, but it didn't.
With regard to Kim calling the cops, we were talking about the earlier 9-1-1 call, not the SG's call from Kroger's.
It isn't odd if your objective is to make the facts so vague as to not be prosecutable.
She could have the account in her pimp's name or her kid's name or a relative's. All she has to do is get somebody to open another account, get a debit card, change the password so only she has access, and she can deposit withdraw, use an ATM, whatever she needs to do.
I would be surprised if she had a bank account in her own name for exactly the reason you specified.
Exactly. Weak, dependent people like Mangum who can't or won't take responsibility for their screw-ups have an immature habit of blending one event with another. Teenagers are famous for doing this.
When bi-polar people are in the manic cycle, they commit a lot of dramatic acts, big gestures, and so forth, and self-injury and accidents are a common result because they aren't at all mindful of what they're doing.
I agree. And if Durhamites don't like it because Delbarton is white privilege, they can just get over it.
I don't understand what is wrong with being white or wealthy.
LOL!! :>
Ditto, bravo, and well said!
Yeah, get a black sweatshirt and a pair of jeans four sizes too big, and start walking with a side-to-side bounce, pants dragging, and make weird, rather spastic shapes and gestures with your fingers. Don't forget to turn your ball cap around and to leave early for wherever you need to go, otherwise you'll end up having to hold your pants up while running like the black dudes in the Cincy riots did. You know the guys I mean - pants falling down around the bottom of their asses, boxer shorts puffed out covering their butts, no shirt or else a filthy T-shirt, pink curlers in their hair, primal, gutteral, unintelligible enunciations emanating from their mouths, and running the streets of Cincy rioting, burning and looting.
Brave, new world.
"Wife"-beater? Homey don't think so. They never marry them bitches and ho's.
Then most likely he's Mangum's pimp.
......which explains why Mangum is afraid of him.
I just think they should use whatever they like and to hell with those who are "offended" if there's a white privilege connotation to it.
Tough. They can get over it. Personally, I admire them for doing that instead of adopting some "multi-cultural" appeasement theme. If they and their parents are successful, it's most likely for the same reason others are successful - they worked for it.
Maybe she went in there to buy a pack of smokes or a loaf of bread.
I explained before how pimps operate. They take brutal control of these women, and most of these women live in perpetual fear of these animals.
As usual, he concludes his article with something he probably considers to be a zinger but is really just stupid.
