[Did the defendents say "Sweetheart, you're not going anywhere"?]
"It doesn't ring true- sounds like something Rhett Butler would say-it's relaxed, soothing, the prelude to a romantic encounter."
I hope for the defendents sake, they don't make that argument in court.
If you're a poor black stripper in a "frat" type house surrouned by much bigger and stronger white men who have been drinking while you take off your clothes and wiggle in sexually stimulating ways, that's definately NOT a soothing remark.
On the contrary, if they wanted to say something soothing they would have said "Hey thanks, everything's cool -- you can stay and party if you want or you can leave anytime and we'll call you a cab."
" If you're a poor black stripper in a "frat" type house surrouned by much bigger and stronger white men ..

Have you seen the pictures of the alleged victim ?
She must have towered over the players-especially Finnerty aka " the little, skinny one."
