I can't believe there aren't potbangers outside the DA's office asking him to resign. That's what should be happening.
If I may editorialize here a bit, I think we're all on the same page. We know who the enemy is and we're mad as hell. Sometimes we take our frustrations out on each other and that's understandable. Part of why that is that we want something to happen but the "justice" system moves with glacial speed.
My heart breaks for SDP and his/her daughter. I have a college age daughter and if she was in a similar situation, I would be crazy with grief, fear, anger and all the emotions in between. And I'm sure SDP has done all he/she possibly could have to fix the situation.
But SDP you need to know this: Free Republic was THE FIRST bulletin board or blog to call bullsh%t on this hoax back on March 29, with the exception of the team members, their families and their attorneys. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE in the DriveBy Media was on our side. And JLS has pretty much been here since early April, on our side.
So what needs to be done about Duke after this hoax is dropped? IMO, Brodhead and some of the faculty need to go. And its up to the alumni to make it happen, otherwise some other set of parents will have to go through all this again.
JLS thinks the way to do that is to send your kids to another school and if enough parents do that, the administration will finally get the message. Some others may want to try and work from within the system.
I don't know which is the better way to go, but I DO KNOW we here at Free Republic are on the side of justice, because I've been here since early April, too. Every day...
They may be doing just that when it finally dawns on them what a hole that Nifong has dug for them.
Actually, the potbangers are forming groups to support Nifong during the election. They like what he is doing.
Nifong can't drop the case because Nifong knows his base.
