The victim, a single mom who turned to exotic dancing to support her two kids, attends North Carolina Central University, a mostly black college in Durham.

She plans to keep a low profile until the students go on trial to avoid inflaming tensions in the black community, where opinion is running heavily against the privileged students.

One of the most hurtful things for the woman about the media circus surrounding the case, the cousin said, is the tendency to assume the worst about her because she is a stripper.

"She's a victim and she's a human being," the cousin said. "Her occupation couldn't justify that a crime like this was committed."

Strippers CHOOSE to become Strippers. Prostitutes CHOOSE to become Prostitutes, in America.

With all due respect, I will have to disagree with you on that one. You fail to realize the subculture of these professions. There is drug addiction, "white slavery", physical threats to consider. Not making any excuse for a bald faced liar with a drug/alcohol problem, but it's an ugly world at the bottom of the food chain. Many do not choose to do these things. They're the ones who don't get noticed until they're dead.

I was pretty sure that's what you meant, but the timeline keeps changing so I thought maybe something new happened while I was out. LOL

And for those that insist that the woman was on a sub. You do not go to sub school at Dam Neck. That would be Conn.

The first call at 12:53 Kim, pretending to be a passer-by, called 911 to report racial slurs.

The second call at 1:22 was made from Kroger's.

In any serious confrontation between black and white racial slurs will almost always be uttered. Only the white person will be held responsible.

That's what I remember. So we don't know where she made that first call from, although I'm remembering that in the very beginning there were posts that she says she drove around the block and was parked in front of the house when she made that first call.

And well all said if she was frightened, why would she drive around and then park in front of the house again.

see post #22. Ann Coulter writes quite a compelling article.

you may certainly think whatever you like, but i have kept up with the Duke threads since this story broke and i have seen those sentiments expressed. one does not need to defend these boys on moral grounds, or even to LIKE THEM personally or their "type", in order to be outraged by a false claim of rape.

Then you missed Susan Filan on Abrams yesterday, who suggested the boys may have put their coats on before they raped the stripper.

No kidding.

This woman was in the Navy and is a college student. That hardly sounds like the bottom of the food chain.

Nifong was appointed a year ago to fill an open position when the prior DA was appointed a judge. Someone here (Howlin?) said he was in traffic court before that.

The issue here is GUILT or INNOCENCE in a Rape and Kidnapping case

GUILT or INNOCENCE

Not Bad taste or vulgarity or what may offend some

The point has been made that they could've done things differently.

This is a miscarriage of justice and it's entirely different than offending someone senses. Hell, they shouldn't drink either .. What are our chances of getting 18-20 year olds to stop drinking by just telling them?

She admitted early on in interviews she did about 3 one-on-ones a week. That's not very high on the food chain.

And having two children from another man while still married isn't terribly impressive either. Neither is stealing a car and running over a policeman.

i read ann coulter's article and while her point may be valid it is quite separate and apart from the issue of a false claim of rape. while the "victims" (rich white privileged whoremongering college boys) may not be likeable or defensible on moral grounds, they do not remotely merit having their lives ruined by a false charge of rape, any more than a virtuous, straight arrow of a male, who could have the same false charge made against him, in completely different circumstances.

And, when it is proved that they were falsely accused, I will be just as outraged.
