Are we sure the BP's will be marching on the campus or will it be near the campus?

It is my recollection from the university president's email/statement that they would be protesting ADJACENT to the campus and that university security personnel would be present to ensure that they would NOT be allowed on campus.

I think Dukie '07 is right . The New Black Panther Party is a lot of talk. With the immigration marches tomorrow I'm hoping Mr. Shabazz gets little to no coverage. Ms. Guilfoyle should be ashamed for giving the guy any airtime at all.

It's a great tune. One of the 70's best. There's some actual thought and musicianship behind it and I love the piano intro with the segue into the main theme. IMHO you shouldn't want to get it out of your head. : )

I hope and pray Kimberly was over-reacting with her powder keg nonsense

Are you talking about Fox's Kimberly?

What the heck did she say now?

"I have NEVER said this in my life, other than this case, but, I fear the authorities may tamper with evidence in this case."

When the DNA didn't come out in their (authorities') favor 2x, I also said they'll tamper. I just hope that when the next results come in, I'm wrong....that they'll again be negative for the players' DNA.

I saw and saved the same paragraphs you did. I thought they were noteworthy, also. Sad that his mom is ill, but nevertheless, he still goes in and out of the office, but for some reason, he's quiet regarding this case. Rather strange, if you ask me.....apparently you feel the same.

This case is like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Two links concerning DA candidate Bishop:

Keith Bishop

Voters Guide

Some facts about Bishop: He is a graduate of the NCCU law school, is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity (some on here have speculated the AV may have performed at a frat house prior to the Duke party) and he seems to have had some minor issues with the law.

She coulda been a celebrity

4/30/2006
By KATHLEEN PARKER

Nobody wants to play second string, and exotic dancers are no exception to the rule. Which becomes a problem when, by fate or misfortune, you're cast in the media drama du jour as . . . The Second Dancer.

Always a stripper, never a star.

Not if you're Kim Roberts, dancer at the Duke University lacrosse team party last month when the other dancer hired for the event allegedly was raped.

Roberts wants, badly, for you to remember her name. Because, as it turns out, the worst thing that might have happened to the accuser may have been the best thing that ever happened to Roberts. Or so she apparently hopes.

For a few days, it seemed as though no one would notice or remember Roberts. She didn't see anything, after all, and for a while she said she didn't believe the accuser's story, according to defense attorneys for the accused Duke students. Thus, she faced the unthinkable - being un-famous, an un-celebrity. Un-known.

Suddenly, the divorced mother had a novel idea: It coulda happened. So naturally, she contacted a New York public relations firm.

In an e-mail to 5W Public Relations obtained by Fox News, Roberts wrote: "Although I am no celebrity and just an average citizen, I've found myself in the center of one of the biggest stories in the country. I'm worried about letting this opportunity pass me by without making the best of it and was wondering if you had any advice as to how to spin this to my advantage. I am determined not to let any negative publicity about my life overtake me."

It was signed, "The 2nd Dancer."

First off, never write an e-mail you wouldn't mind seeing on Fox News. Maybe Roberts doesn't mind, as those who pursue celebrity seldom concern themselves with the reason for fame, only the fame itself. And, of course, the financial rewards one hopes to reap. Roberts was clear on that score.

"Why shouldn't I profit from it?" she said when asked about her willingness to profit from her colleague's alleged rape - or the ruin of two young men who may be innocent. "I didn't ask to be in this position . . . I would like to feed my daughter."

I know we're not supposed to question a person's character these days. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do and boys will be . . . no, wait, that's wrong. Girls are virtuous because they're stripping to feed their children; boys are evil because they will pay a virtuous single mom to strip. It's so confusing, isn't it?

Probably more to the point, Roberts' query to the PR firm, which has declined to represent her, coincided with her new slant on events that night.

"I was not in the bathroom when it happened," she told the Associated Press. "So I can't say a rape occurred - and I never will." Later, after her own criminal record was raised, Roberts said, "In all honesty, I think they're guilty . . . and I can't say which ones are guilty . . . but somebody did something . . . that's my honest-to-God impression."

Who wants this story? Do I hear $25,500? Anyone? The $25,000 figure isn't random - it's the amount Roberts was convicted of embezzling from a Durham, N.C., photo-finishing company a few years ago.

Coincidentally, around the same time Roberts was forming her new impression of what went down at the lacrosse party, a judge excused Roberts from having to pay a 15 percent fee to a bonding agent.

I can't say Roberts is getting favorable treatment for becoming a better prosecution witness. I was not in the lawyer's office when it happened. So I can't say a transaction occurred - and I never will. In all honesty, I think somebody did something . . . that's my honest-to-God impression. It coulda happened. Or not.

From your link:


In 1997, an assault with a deadly weapon warrant was never served. Bishop called it a misunderstanding with his former law partner.

And the candidate never served any time after he was arrested for resisting an officer and failing to stop in 1998. Bishop said Duke University police pursued him after he took pictures of a client in the hospital.

"I was trying to get to the Durham Police Department to save the evidence," he said.

Thanks for the links, maggie.
I didn't see the show, howlin.

Great point, PTBOR, on the fact that she did not appear to be "beat up" by either the security guard or the first officer on scene. But, if that was daddy talking, who knows if she really was or not! However, if pictures of her at Duke Med show she was beat up, and pictures of her leaving the Buchanan house do not, most likely a slam dunk. How long does it normally take for swelling/bruises to appear on one's face after being hit? More than a half hour?

All these connections do seem rather bizarre. Give Hugs & Kisses credit - he did alert us to a SBI investigation into a Durham police prostitution ring in the early 90's. I think we all brushed it off because it happened so long ago; however, with the revelation that CM allleged she was raped in 1993, I have to wonder if he is on to something.

Are any reporters investigating police corruption in Durham or are they all too busy exposing the "lacrosse culture" at Duke?

The connections do seem rather bizarre, but how does the Duke Culture tie in, if at all?
