Wow!! Awesome kid, but a very sad article.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Here we have the same Ms. Meadows and her editors who in their early reporting stereotyped the lacrosse players as rich white privileged jocks, now devoting an entire piece to humanizing Reade Seligmann.

So nimble, the MSM.

"He'd already planned to go to law school, but now, he says, it's gotten personal: he wants to become a criminal defense lawyer."

That's outstanding. I would also suggest that he look into fighting for people who are discriminated against in things like school admissions, hiring and promotions - white males.

"He doesn't mind being noticed but gets upset when people say his reputation is ruined."

The proper response is: "Bite me."

Duke should fold up its tents and get the heck out of Durham.

Who in their right mind would send a child there?

[SmoothTalker]

Justice will not be served in this case. Nifong belongs in jail. The whore belongs in jail. Duke deserves to pay millions to the kids as does the town of Durham. None of it will happen. These boys will never be able to fully restore their names. Everywhere they go they will be known as the kids in the Duke rape case. Sexual assualt charges never fully go away.

[woofie]

surely Nifong knows he has no case left ....why is he doing what he is doing?

[Wild Irish Rogue]

Susannah Meadow's May 1, 2006 Newsweek article " What Happened At Duke ?"
helped promote the myth that a date rape drug was used.
She was everywhere on tv talking about her exclusive.
"Nifong, a white man who is running for election in a racially mixed county,
hinted to NEWSWEEK that blood and urine tests of the woman would reveal the presence of a date-rape drug. "

[sgtbono2002]

What yanks my chain is that this sluts name hasnt been all over the papers, The media ghasnt posted her picture all over. They scandalised these boys but they go out of their way to protect this lying slut.

"In a lineup, she'd identified three of them as her alleged assailants"

Wasn't that like shooting fish in a barrel? All of the people in the lineup were on the team and at the scene, no?

Dan Abrams on Tucker Carlson about Dowd suit and other things

My advice to Dan is to loose the scraggle.

[SkyPilot]

My father lives in North Carolina.

I went to visit him last fall, and the Duke "rape" case came up. We were visiting his friends house at the time. One man said he knew Mick Nifong. The man said Nifong was "not the demon some are making him out to be."

I turned and asked the man:

"Can you tell me, what is his religious affiliation, you know, his faith?"

I asked the question out of general curiosity. I had hoped the answer could give me some insight to Nifong's character.

The guy got angry. His brow furled, he paused for a long time, and asked me:

"Why would you ask such a personal question?"

I thought about that. Faith is personal, but I wasn't asking this particular man if he or Nifong believed in Buddha, Muhammad, or Jim Jones. Nor did I ask the guy if Nifong had a relationship with Jesus Christ, or if he was a Druid.

I simply asked about Nifong's religion. This guy said he knew him. Almost all members of Congress post their faith on their websites!

Why was this such a terrible thing to ask.

I dropped it.

The other men in the room quickly switched the conversation to something else.

I thought about it later, and it occurred to me why he got upset.

Neither that guy (who is probably friends with him) or DA Nifong have a real faith in God, and that is probably why he got angry.

When the haughty and corrupt are confronted by a Power greater than their selves, fear is kindled. Then it turns to anger.

[Roberts]

It'll be interesting to see if the Duke defendants file suit against Nifong if/when charges or dropped or they are acquitted. Nifong would be forced to disclose everything he knew and had (or didn't have) in his possession at each stage of this fiasco process. THAT is the only way these boys will ever clear their names.

From Liestoppers:

Plea bargain in the works for first-degree murder suspect.

--Legal concessions apparently are in store for a first-degree murder suspect who reportedly drove his victim to the hospital at high speed, then prayed for his survival.

The District Attorney's Office already has offered Dontae Daevon Jones a plea bargain for the drastically reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter. If the dead man's mother agrees, the charge could be further downgraded to involuntary manslaughter, defense lawyer Lisa Williams said Friday.--

How Dare You, Susannah Meadows?

With your keyboard still ablaze from earlier vilifications of this young man and his teammates, you have the nerve to write a humanizing piece with no mention of your earlier treatment?

You should be ashamed. Oh wait, I forgot...you have no shame.
