Twenty years ago I was a rich, spoiled brat in college. All of my friends were rich, spoiled brats, some of them played lacrosse, I didn't. I spent summers at my parents country club. My friends and I did a lot of questionable and stupid things (drugs, drove drunk, etc.) because we knew that our parents could buy our way out of it AS LONG AS NOBODY WAS HURT. However, we never had the attitude that we could cause seriously serious harm to somebody and get away with it.

Nobody I grew up with has ever been accused of something like this. There is one fear that rich, spoiled brats have that overrides all else, and that is the fear of losing everything.

Jesse Jackson has volunteered his organization to pay all the lady's bills while she is in college and through Law School.

Send Jesse the Bill.

You don't have to convince me.

When I tell people just how corrupt the courts are in Washington state, they look at me like I am crazy. Until one has a person experience with it, it is hard to believe. There is nothing someone could tell me about their experience that would lead me to say, "I don't believe it." My inclination is that they are telling the truth.

"If she falsely accused those young men, it shouldn't be. She should be brought up on charges and made to reimburse the young men's legal fees."


Ya think ole Jesse might spring for that after he gets through payin' for her education??? ;-)

That's why I don't see how they have any evidence of the rape other than the stripper's drunken description.

If you think someone who is disgusted with judicial tyranny and corruption has issues, I have 'issues'. chris1 talks from personal, real-life situations; and so do I.

Tell you what, when in you come to NY, look me up and meet me in person, and tell me that to my face and we will see who is bluffing who.

LOL! The internet tough guy.

OH, I definitely agree with you, they are there, I was just trying to say that many of these kind of predicaments can be avoided, by kids that are of morally sound character, that wouldn't be worrying about this, if their behavior followed a path unlike that which seems to easily include those without this parental direction.

Look at how I was pounced upon.

How many of those people have been in Bronx Criminal Court, civil court, etc etc.

Probably only a few. They don't see that side of things and don't want to hear the reality of things.

What resources do you think she has to pay peoples' legal fees? If she lied, she should pay something toward them.

It should be like medieval England. If she doesn't have the money, they should lock her in a workhouse doing manual labor 15 hours a day eating bread and water until she earns enough to pay their legal fees off.

I am very accessible, very available.

I have been called all sorts of things, yet I say something, I get pounced upon.

But if it makes you feel better to flame me, that's fine.

Okay, but when Black men rape White women, it's NEVER reported as racial and it's not reported like

A black man raped a WHITE women in Newark..

In this case, the Media inserts race into every report.

@@@@

In Baltimore a few years ago, a (black) woman was raped at a bus stop, and reported that a (black) man raped her. The Major in charge of the Police District put out a directive to look for black men in the vicinity.

End result in Baltimore: the Major was fired for insensitivity. I'm not sure if he was black or white, but he was well-respected by most Baltimoreans, except for the race hustlers.

I have a petition to recall Christine Gregoire as Washington governor in the state supreme court. I was supposed to have a hearing on it months ago. They are now trying to 'handle it' on their motion docket and aren't even listing it as a matter before the court on their web site.

Why? Because if there was an actual hearing, I would expose the racketeering that goes on n the courts of Washington, including the state supreme court, and a lot of judges would eventually be going to prison.

The governor and state AG argue that the separation of powers doctrine prevents the state from prosecuting judges who commit crimes.

But I've read that they were disappointed that they were black. It was discussed on one of the talk shows.

I would be interested to know your source, not as a challenge, but to clear up this point.

Lighten up chris.

I found your takes in this thread peripheral to this case and also bland, but I didn't comment until you pulled out your Internet Tough Guy card. To me, it's funny!

Self-righteous bluffers have issues, such as people who brag about how much better drunks they are than the rest of us, regular drunks.

Judicial corruption was not the subject of my comment

I think you're missing the point. It's not that they had strippers there that caused the trouble. The problem is that the strippers were black.
