Rape Case Is Seen as Symbol at Black College in N.C. (Duke LAX)
Washington Post ^ | 05/07/2006 | Anne Hall

We are with you. We are outraged with you. We will fight back for you..... .Rest assured, we will not rest until justice is done, especially the strong brothers. (snip)

Single mothers sometimes bring their kids to class, setting them up with juice and crayons in the back of Mass Comm. (snip) The most mundane beginnings explain her life. The youngest of three children, she grew up in Durham. Her father drove trucks and worked a second job cleaning cars on an auto lot. Her 1996 graduation photo from Hillside High School shows a girl with shoulder-length braids and a placid expression, neither serious nor smiling. In the space where other seniors included their hopes for the future, hers is blank.

This is another manuever to put pressure on the team and to try to flush one into coming in and making a deal

Nifong still has one more player he can indict and if that player can't make a 400,000 bond, well I guess he can rot in jail until the trial.

Well there are really only two possibilities here:

1. Either the woman was raped and Nifong having a player talking is a good thing.

2. Or the woman was not raped and Nifong does not have a player talking.

People of course sometimes confess to things they did not do, but I doubt it is in a case like this. My primary reason is that while even in this case someone worrying he might be rightly or wrongly convicted of a far worse offense has an incentive to confess, it is hard to confess and be credible when the victim and relatives keep changing their stories and you did not see anything happen.

Here's a way for Kim to cash in -- set her lawyer and PR firm to work on a class action lawsuit on behalf of all Honda owners with peeling paint...!

There's a medical term for the resulting condition that I didn't wish to remember!

IIRC the accepted medical term for this condition, which was first diagnosed in the case of Abner Louima, is "Giulianichronositis."

I think 5/15 is the date that has been announced on that.

I'd be very surprised if Duke doesn't have some of that stuff, however. They're incredibly politically correct, as we've seen.

I recently saw Phyllis Schlafly speak at Agnes Scott, a private women's college in Decatur, GA. Judging from the turnout, PC feminist nonsense runs rampant there, and the Young Republicans who organized the event were quite brave.

For the most part, Duke Departments have not been totally run over by the Pod People; while still bowing to the cadances of political correctness, nonetheless.

IMHO, the pod people haven't quite figured out a way, yet, to overtake the science departments at Duke -- as they have in other colleges/U around the country.

These are all signs, to me, that the MSM and prosecutors Nifong who attempted to try the case before the media, and without evidence or proper protocol, know they've lost the case in the eyes of Joe and Jane and Kamir and Louella America. And so, "Out Spot, Out!" is the rallying cry of those who are peddling the "Execution First/Trial Later" agenda -- in that they must continue to try to press forward in attempting to mind-suck the average viewer.

Too bad there's no story here - but that fact would never get in the way of the Wahington POst.

Yes, I agree.

Abrams/MSNBC just reported that the DURHAM POLICE advised the DUKE police that the woman (accuser) was NOT credible and kept changing her story.

Does anyone doubt that Nifong saw this as an opportunity to seize the black vote. And that's exactly what happened.

This is not a DA seeking justice.

In Reference to the Durham Police notifying the Duke Police that the woman (accuser) was NOT credible and she keeps changing her story as Abrams reported today,

WHO DOES THAT SOUND LIKE?

Doesn't her Father change his story every time he opens his mouth? I've been saying for 2 weeks now, that I think she is afflicted with a mental illness - just like her father.

"Symbols are very important...to people who find rational thought to be too exhausting."

After "symbols" you can usually "role models," another phrase that gets beaten to death.

He is not seeking JUSTICE.. but rather... SOCIAL JUSTICE as defined by Marxism.

Wow, and the press is spinning this bomshell as a screwup by the Durham PD because Nifong got an indictment. What changed between the judgment of the DPD and the indictment, other than the DNA came back negative. This story is just unbelievable.

It served his purposes for the election, but what good is a free press if no one in it stands up against corruption and double standards like this. It's just not right.

I was raped by 20 white men. HuH? I was raped by 20 white men at Duke... Later she tells another officer she was raped by 3 men.

The above is my interpretation

Will the accuser be ripped a new one if she is proved to be incredible in her claims?

She has all the credentials of a victim. The usual suspects in the media will give her a big pass.

If you read the stories in the media close, many are saying, even if it's NOT true, it's important this subject has been raised. It's good for us to highlight the important of Racism in drunk lacrosse players that feel they've been ripped-off.
And the important subject of Sexual assault.

I guess they didn't feel we needed that "discussion" when women working under Bill Clinton had reported sexual assault. This is the Re-Emegence of Sexual Harrassment too. Clinton is far enough along in the rear view mirror where they can discuss it with a straight face.

She was found drunk in a car passed out in a retail center by a guard.
As she was about to be arrested she came up with the "I was raped story", they proceeded to contradict herself all over her original story.

I think that sums it up.
