The frightening thing is not only that she might be in the jury pool, but in the breeding pool.

That's a personal attack and should not be allowed on this forum.

"We don't even know the victim's name for God's sake. How is "her" story changing? How can we know of any changing story by a victim who is so far unnamed?"


Sorry. Thought you wanted to know her name since you made the above statement.

A name is just a name and doesn't matter really. What matters is if indictments are brought and if the case can be proven in Court.

I wasn't talking about you, but someone in the posted newspaper piece.

Do you even read the posts before responding to them?

"but if she dances around naked for their sexual stimulation and then gets drunk and passes out, my outrage is mitigated to an awful large degree."

well, if a young man takes his shirt off, and starts dancing and then drinks and passes out, any homosexual would be able to rape him with your understanding?......hmmmmm

no reason at all for rape....for crying out loud, YOU CAN GET IT ANYWHERE FOR FREE SO WHY RAPE SOMEONE!!!!!

Yes, if a male stripper wags his greased-up butt in front of a bunch of horny, drunk gay guys and then passes out and wakes up with a sore rectum, my sympathy is nil. Sorry if that disappoints you.

I call that freeper on that ridiculous nano-condom, chemistry lab post and was answered by....

Geez lady, go to my post and follow the "to [post #]" links up the chain to find where it originates. You will see it has NOTHING to do with you. Or is your name Elizabeth Weiss?

Why do you say that? Most of the crap about the case is what is coming from all of the hired defense attys.

At this point yes. They were forced to go public only because, in the first week or so, the DA was on TV nearly 24/7 talking up the fact that he believed the lax team was guilty. When it became clear he wanted to try the case in the media before even filing charges, the players spoke up for themselves through their lawyers. The DA STFU when he realized that his case was not the slam dunk he thought it was. Again, you've arrived late to the show.

You know what I find truly amazing is people willing to attempt to support a position for which they have no substantiating data, and for which all existing data directly contradicts their position.

Support your argument based on demonstrable fact - not emotion and feelings.

While you are at it - explain how the defense was so confident that there would be no DNA evidence linking them to Crystal. How - exactly - did they know this? There are a few potential ways, but one truly logical one - they knew they didn't do it.

The only reason this is in the news is because it is White boys. This is a racist case. 80 rapes/year in Durham, probably 4-5 real ones since this case started. Why is this one a lead story? Do the other 79 not count, or perhaps do they not fit the theme the media and race baitors want to promote?

I thought about your post another second, and realized that the DA is acting like the MSM - as if technology has not advanced. Indeed - where would the defense case be if they -
Did not have DNA results?
Could not track "corroborating phone call" to the other stripper's cell phone?
Did not have time stamped photos indicating "victim's" condition was prior to her arrival at party?
etc.

The DA, Crystal, and you are acting as if an allegation is all it takes. Luckily for the true victims - the Lacrosse team - technology has advanced which can support their quite evident innocence of the crime under discussion.

Wow.

This marajane(sp?) is the most obtuse poster on this case I've seen yet. Doesn't even seem to care about educating him(her?)self with the many links available at DUKELAX.
