DURHAM -- An official with the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense said the black nationalist organization is providing security for the woman who has accused Duke lacrosse players of raping her.

And the organization is distributing recruitment brochures with information about a rally planned near the Duke campus for Monday. The brochures ask, "Had enough of disrespect and racism from Duke University?" The materials contain photographs of Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, the two white lacrosse players indicted and charged with raping a black exotic dancer at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. the night of March 13-14.

"We'll do the escort and the security, going to court, whatever it takes" to protect the accuser from threats allegedly being made against her, said Minister Na'jee Shaka Muhammad, national field marshal with the New Black Panther Party who is based out of Atlanta but working in Durham with the dancer and her family.

The New Black Panther Party rally and news conference is being planned for Monday morning in front of an entrance to Duke at Chapel Drive and Duke University Road. Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, the group's national chairman and the national spokesman of Black Lawyers for Justice, will be the keynote speaker.

Muhammad said plans ... include a march past the lacrosse practice fields and ... 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

Founded in 1989 in Dallas, the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense has chapters across the U.S. It preaches self-determination for a black nation through revolutionary changes. Among other tenets of the organization are calls to free all incarcerated black people, exempting blacks from military service, education that "exposes the true nature of this devilish and decadent American society," and demands for trials by a jury of black peers.

WTF is snarling about???

She should be careful, she makes wild accusations all of the time. Last night she insinuated that Duke Alumni were trying to pay off the AV to drop the case.

Is Nancy DISGrace mentioning this previous so-called rape??

Don Henley must die.

Don't let him get back together with Glen Fry.

Seriously Joe Walsh has more talent then the rest of the Eagles put together.

I predict the DukeLax case is not mentioned atall on her show tonight...

That was my thought - he's run off the white vote except for maybe the white trash vote, ans the black vote will go to Bishop, the black candidate. The question is, will she get 40%? She would have to get almost all of the white vote to win, and they'd have to actually get out and vote. How motivated is the white community against the way these guys are being railroaded?

Something I asked the other day and never got an answer to: does NC have open primaries? Not only was I wondering in regard to whether Nifong could win, but also because I wondered if he kept this case quiet past the deadline for which people could switch parties (from Repub to Dem) in order to vote against him because of this case. Anybody know that date, or if there is such a date?

Who's "young'uns" were the cops going to check on when the took the AV to SANE?

The woman’s mother told ESSENCE that her daughter, who had lived in the same home with her parents and her two children prior to the March 13 incident, appeared to have recovered after the therapy she had following the incident.

[Jezebelle]

I had not heard that the motion failed. I didn't even know there'd been a hearing!!!!!!!!!!

Or did you mean "filed"?

[Doc Savage]

Sure, one day after I buy a black beret, a doberman, a cane, an AK-47 with matching bandolier, new sunglasses and combat boots, these morons cut in on my action. Well out this Power Salute where the sun doesn't shine!!!

[Doc Savage]

Didin't you mean,...naming babies "Shaneesha!!"

[Jezebelle]

This is the first case in which I can say that the "nuts and sluts" defense TRULY applies. Even in the Kobe case, at least there had been sexual relations between Kobe and Katelyn, and she wasn't a prostitute.

[maggief]

According to the Creedmoor police report in August 1996, when the woman was 18, she told officers she was raped and beaten by three men "for a continual time" in 1993, when she was 14. She told police she was attacked at an "unspecified location" on a street in Creedmoor, a town 15 miles northeast of Durham.

The report lists the names of the three men, but no other details. Creedmoor police Chief Ted Pollard said Thursday he had no recollection of the report, and his staff has been unable to find any additional information about it.

"Adam, Bret and Matt" with a broom? ;)

Halfway through the show and NG has yet to mention DukeLax

[GAgal]

I wonder if the first gang-rape assertion, in which the accuser gave three names but no charges were brought, is the "dishonesty" which Seligmann's attorney pointed to in his brief asking for her records?

[maggief]

I suspect there's even more in her background. This is the sorted warm and fuzzy version.

I'm predicting this case will fall off the radar after Tuesday's election. It just gets crazier and crazier. Duke kids will go home for the summer and the Lax players will be left to pick up the pieces.

[eastforker]

Just heard on FNC that ten years ago she made similar charges as a teenager but did not persue the charges.

[wiltale]

I am so glad to see you all are discussing this here. I haven't heard it reported yet on MSM. Just saw the headline on Drudge and came here to find out more.

______________

I think this new info of her first police report of a rape is a bombshell.
The details are so similar. It is another nail in the coffin.

I want to know why the defense team did not know about this with all the money they are getting, and all the investigators working for the defense.
Unless Finnerty's attorney was just saying he never heard of it, for the media's sake.
He has been keeping his cards close to his vest.

This case should be dropped.....Yesterday!

[Neverforget01]

I wonder which TV personality will come out first and express any outrage at what this "victim" has done to all future real victims.
