Or we could just call "Bulls##t" on this one already.
50 college kids lives thrown into disarray and damaged forever, for this?
Racism and sexism permeates our society now, and this power displayed by this stripper demonstrates it.

you know.. this is gonna be like Clarence Thomas.. like Kennedy said.. "it's not about the nature of the evidence but the seriousness of the charge." that's all it takes for these people. only when they are on the receiving end then they care about evidence
Heck of a big train to pull.
This this story say more about race relations, or about gender relations?
This woman yells "rape" and immediately it's race and class warfare. However, one forgets that the "rape" charge is the ultimate "nuclear option" when it comes to a woman hurting a man BAD.
via NBC-17 in Raleigh:
"A handwritten narrative report by Sgt. J.C. Shelton that is attached to the motion says the accuser first reported being raped after officers had decided to involuntary commit her."
Naw, then they just get Johnny Cochran.
IMO, this woman was probably treated rudely by some of the boistrous young men at the party. In reaction, she decided to teach them a lesson.
I think the warning signs were appearant early on, but the authorities didn't want to seem to be avoiding taking her charges serious, so they humored to woman to the point of absurdity.
When the press got involved, the whole thing went balistic.
A coach's life was trashed. The team's existance was trashed. These young men's lives were trashed.
Early on I said that if the young men did rape her, they should pay. I also said, that if she were found to be lying, she should have the friggen book thrown at her.
It's looking more and more like the friggen book should be thrown at her. I don't care what young guys do, you don't try to get them thrown in prison and tarnished as rapists just to get even with them, when you've had a bad evening.
Baring more information coming out, it looks as if a rape did occur. It wasn't the rape of one woman. It was the rape of a whole community.
Cochran is dead.
Yep, it's clearly the rape charge which transforms a drunken whore in police custody to a victim of a heinous crime.
Black on black crime?
Move along people. Nothing to see here. Business as usual.
Black on white crime?
Move along people. Nothing to see here. Business as usual.
Flimsy allegation of white on black crime?
STOP THE PRESSES !!!!!!!!!! Breaking news of national interest!
Roberts is the second stripper. Stating she did not know the woman was a lie. I assume they left the party together so saying she picked her up after seeing the white guys insult her was also a lie.
I seem to recall that the racial slurs were a lie. Please note that these are quotes from the officers notes taken at the time. The article could use some clarification on that (i.e. "Further investigation has shown that Kim Roberts....")
It's a shame this story has taken on a life of its own. If it is proven to be false, will it get even a 1/10th the coverage?
Exactly.
But no matter how the races were a factor or not, this would still be a story. The RAPE allegation is every woman nuclear device.
It keeps unraveling.
