Are you serious? There's plenty of racial tension all over the place. What do you have against the south?
I lived in the north, lady.
Lacross is most defintely NOT like football or baseball - or hockey.
DST doesn't come into the equation. The alleged rape was on Mar 13.
Boys will be boys. I was on yesterday's live thread, and there is a very interesting timeline of date/time stamped pics of the event. These women couldn't get it together from the time they arrived an hour late. They were unable to dance or perform. From what I am gathering, the guys took the money back and threw them out of the house.
Now if a couple of unkempt white girls with crappy nails and ugly costumes showed up, wouldn't you want your 800 bucks back? Trust me it is just as easy for a white tweeker to lie, as it is a black tweeker.
"Oh, and there's no racial tension up north. /sarcasm
Or in LA. Chicago. New York City. Where all the major riots of the last 20 years have occurred."
I never said that either.
But those places are not still trying to shake off the stigma of being the states that engaged in slavery.
I was making a concession to another poster that as a yankee I may not fully appreciate how racial tension can affect political (or legal) decision by someone like a District Attorney.
But by all means...don't let that stop you from assuming the worst about me...you seem to be having fun doing that.
I'm sure the DA was making the case that since they lived out of state that they were a flight risk.
I said they were not accused, someone else brought up the fireman who has twin sons on the team.
Your statement about race relations in the South was EXTREMELY smug.
That's a pretty broad statement.
And I don't think schools like Duke are populated by lower class individuals there on a needs scholarship.
Since you're clearly a disruptor, why yes. I do assume the worst about you.
Race matters in the South, but I dare say there are large parts of the Northeast and Midwest that are racially polarized as severely as is the South. After all, some of the ugliest anti-school busing demonstrations occurred in Boston, which is to liberals what Rome is to Catholics.
Guess you never heard of parochial schools. Only for the upper class?
You are an idiot with an ax to grind. Take it elsewhere.
"Are you serious? There's plenty of racial tension all over the place. What do you have against the south?"
Already answered those questions to other posters.
I have nothing against the south.
No, all the reports have said that both strippers were black. If you listen to the 911 call you can tell by her voice.
100K a year in the NJ/Long Island/NYC area is not upper middle class.
"Since you're clearly a disruptor, why yes. I do assume the worst about you. "
All I've done is point out that the public never knows as much as those directly involved in the investigation.
Why is this disruptive?
What does that mean? How does it differ? Hockey is a much, much more expensive sport to play than lacrosse. It isn't even close.
Thanks for that clarification. I saw the article about a fireman who was clearing the rubble at the WTC on 9/11 who has a son attending Duke.
I heard this morning that both suspects live in Edens residence hall, where McFayden also lived. According to the defense lawyers, last Thursday Durham detectives sneaked into Edens and attempted to interview players there specifically about which of them weren't at the party.

That tells me the DA team isn't completely sure of the IDs or perhaps they're unsure of the supposed #3.
"But those places are not still trying to shake off the stigma of being the states that engaged in slavery."
Hard to shake it off when people keep piling it on.
