I called.
She was very nice, but don't know how interested she was. Told her I have lived in NC, 2 of my sons are Tarheels & while it is easy to play armchair quarterback in the Duke Lacrosse issue, arresting a cab driver for a 21/2 year old shoplifting charge when all he did was pick up a fair is over the top.
Told her I was concerned about the image of NC and wondering how many people planning to visit NC will change their minds.
What happened to the cab driver could happen to anyone.
A minute or two of research reveals that NC is plagued by a rat governor and a rat attorney general.
There will be no oversight from their quarter. They are most likely completely gung-ho behind Nifong.
A better route may be through the state-wide association of chambers of commerce. They might be willing to put some pressure on if they can be convinced that this travesty is harmful to tourism and business in general, which is probably a tall order.
