I went in the face of a gaggle of females the other day. I said "this is America, not France, and this team -- before ANY EVIDENCE is provided, is being convicted in the media Court of Public Opinion. This is as disgusting as you feel in your biased notion that the LaCrosse team is GUILTY as "charged" just because. In fact, it is worse. Yes, worse than the accusation of rape.

Thanks for posting these bits, Howlin.

I'm really disgusted over the hoopla. The media circus.

Heard on the news today, how curious it was that the 911 call just so happened to be quite detailed about the address wherein "so-called" racial epiteths were emitting from. Turns out, there's NO HOUSE ADDRESS IDENTIFIER ON THE HOUSE (FRAT HOUSE) IN QUESTION.

Let the guilty be charged -- BUT NOT! before the facts.

Leave the poor boys alone..some were just trying to change their luck....and of course a black female with such a stellar background would never lie... Folks, this ole boy surmises that some of the boys didn't pay her for a trick and her pimp decided to drop them in the grease.... just my take...

Your theory could be so.

But whether it is or not I'll tell you what really sticks in my craw: On HEARSAY ALONE. "A female's word".. the Duke team is suspended from playing. This smacks of old time tricks.

Apparently doctors vouch that she was raped. that usually means vaginal scarring (and anal allegedly). unless she happened to suffer from a particular medical condition, women can't fake that.

I heard one of the dancers was at college.

Here's another insight to the character of these players. Divison III powerhouse Salisbury University beat Duke in a pre-season game last year. Allegedly, Duke refused to shake hands after the game.

Wonder why the Media won't this ?? Only on a small station website only.

Wonder why?

Dancer steals car and goes on high speed chase thru two counties and then tries to run over the Policmen.
No marches or vigils at her school (or anywhere else) though. I think the culture at NCCU may have fostered and fomented this type of criminal behavior.

"drunk college guys rape a woman"

Given that the dna tests came back absolving the players, what is your response now?

"...we do not do business with people who graduate from Duke if we know their background. I will never hire one."

What, may I ask, is YOUR collegial background, sir?
