If all charges are dropped, expect a riot in Raleigh-Durham. It will probably make the riot from Rodney King's beating look like a piece of cake.
There will be no riot.
Bring it on!
In my experience, I've learned that state and local governments will often go to great lengths to ensure a safe environment for a high-profile university -- in ways that they would never do for private citizens.
My undergraduate school was in a bad neighborhood in a crummy city, and the city government basically created a police state around the campus once the school administration dropped even the slightest hint that it was considering a plan to relocate the entire campus to an outlying area.
You really think so?
Not that I'm denying or anything. But the notion intrigues me.
This case has gotten some public attention but frankly not enough to enrage the common folk. Who should be enraged because this case is all about runaway prosecutors and the danger they pose to us more ordinary citizens.
But let there be a riot as you predict and for sure this will capture the public's attention.
Which is to say this is a good thing is what I'm saying here.
Lately, I have totally adjusted my thinking. What with the Dems in charge, hey, I'm rooting for them to keep doing nutty things so the ladies in the beauty parlor will take note.
Another example, SURELY, I mean surely...right?...someone's bound to notice that before the New Year all we heard was the mantra to send in more troops. Now that Bush says he's going to do just this well hey, the same ones that wanted more troops now want no "escalation".
So I sigh and hope that if nothing else, their hypocrisy will be further exposed and their credibility will be ruined.

This would be a white riot? I can't imagine you could have a riot based on this case.
"It will probably make the riot from Rodney King's beating look like a piece of cake."
I doubt it. Everyone knows she is a lying sperm bank, out to scam some cash from the rich white boys. There may be some small incidents from the hoodlums looking for any excuse to bust a window and grab a new HD TV.
outsiders might try to instigate a riot, but I firmly believe that black people are harder on women than the general populace and I would bet most of them know this woman is nothing more than a stinking whore...
You may well be right. As Federal Judge Cohn in Detroit wrote in the Oakland Press, to the effect that, when dealing with African-Americans, that reality does not matter, but the perception of fairness does.
The whites should riot. It's more of a precedent than the Rodney King riots. Maybe if some white anger slipped out once in a while crap like this woulnd't float so long.
I doubt it. I've lived here since '82.
There won't be a peep in Raleigh, some of Duke literati may march, but don't plan on any violence.
If tempers did get as hot as those sad days in LA, remember the one big difference here in NC. Armed citizens.
Not going to happen. The governor of NC would not allow it and there is no comparison to the masses in LA and the far smaller numbers in Durham.
