"When this turns out to be a phony charge, how would you characterize a black woman falsely accusing two white men of rape, allowing the black community of Durham to turn out in her favor, and Jesse Jackson to make a big show of coming to town and awarding her a scholarship?"
It wouldn't be "Black Opportunism".
It would be the acions of a vile, totally reprehensible individual who would then deserve the same punishment these guys are facing.
Amen, these students are utter idiots and are disgusting. Just like M. Savage says, many colleges are not institutions of lower living.
They should never have put themself in that spot, and Andrew Wilcow, WABC radio host, had a great segment on this.
Spoiled rotten, no street smarts, brats, but I don't think rapists.
Four minutes 'til Abrams.
That's right. In fact, up thread, another freeper posted the words from the DA a week or so ago when he said she hadn't made an ID yet!
I know that. I wasn't suggesting that the DA said it, but "they" in this case was the media.
"Hon, you could just look in a dictionary and find out the meaning of the word orgie. "
Personal experience is always clearer, no?
We will see who the fool is when this is over.
And if they ARE guilty, I don't think people who thought they were not are "fools", just mislead.
But if a "date-rape" sort of drug was used, doesn't that beg the question of how she was able to fight tooth and nail against her supposed attackers, and, not long after, be yelling and hollering at the hospital?
Wow. Talk about jumping to conclusions. Let's see -- they go to college and play lacrosse so they must be spoiled rotten and brats. Some days Free Republic is just an embarrassment.
They were sishing for evidence. The only DNA on or in the accuser was her own.
Gotcha.
Dan Abrams on now.
11 a.m., to drop off her car.
I think he's the middleman.
Whose personal experience? You are accusing me of going to orgies because I know the meaning of the word? You have an awfully low threshold of evidence, don't you?
"It's not clear why you feel that seeing a stripper is such an heinous act."
I don't.
But for the whole team to have a party involving a bunch of strippers they personally hired, and possibly did more than just look at is extremely stupid and has done themselves and the school damage.
Don't you agree?
Also, as another freeper pointed out, it couldn't have happened the way Rita said because the DA himself admitted early last week or the week before that the accuser hadn't ID'd anyone.
Isn't that a bit cynical? ;-)
Did the players all volunteer their DNA? If not, did a judge really REQUIRE a sample from them without even knowing if any was recovered from the accuser? Is that possibly true?
Maybe you're right, we'll see.
