I keep wondering if he will give it up or somebody will stop him!

And in fact you would expect a stripper in a room with 40 witnesses who say nothing happened and with no DNA in her or on her would be the kind of woman to be taken LEAST seriously when making such a claim.

Unless you're in Mike Nifong's Durham.

Under normal circumstances it's the virginal-looking sexually-aggressive-tonight but guilty-feeling-tomorrow woman with whom you actually did have sex that you would normally have to worry about making a false claim to assuage her conscience that she's not a slut.

They are fools if they go back.

Almost 100 classmates marched against the Duke 3, ASSuming they were guilty till proven innocent. After all, we all know what athletes are like...right?

The Black Panther POS's made public, loud death threats against the players in open court. The BPPs were not arrested and charged-in fact, I'm not sure if they were even escorted from court.

Black people make up almost half the population of Durham. And from the reports out of Durham, some don't even care if the players are guilty or not. They just want white guys to go to prison to make up for past racial wrongs against blacks.

Given Nifong's election, it appears that this sentiment seems to be held by a fairly large proportion of the town's black citizenry.

If they go back to campus, I would not be at all surprised to hear of their assault, stabbing, or shooting at the hands of unknown "assailants".

They'd be fools to go back.

PS The university's offer was given as an attempt to head off any lawsuits against it. The Duke 3 would also be fools to let that influence them.

[Howlin]

He said he would.

I wonder how Danny Glover is feeling today.

We are not going to rest until Reade's good name has been cleared and those who have been responsible for this injustice have been held fully accountable."

You hear that Megyn Kelly Kendall?!? You and your sources have been dead wrong.

[Howlin]

I wonder if Duke checked with these boys before they made this announcement.

It would be unreal if they said no while Duke is busy patting itself on the back.

In fact, I would smile.

[Howlin]

What did Kendall say?

[arthurus]

Any woman will strip for a party at ay time?

[maggief]

He is feeling about the same as Victoria Peterson, the pot bangers, and Ubuntu!.

[maggief]

She as repeated said that the players won't sue.

Yes it definitely takes a stripper to make a false rape claim. Other women NEVER do.

Don't be ridiculous. Prosecute the wrongdoers to the fullest extent of the law. But, as for the young men's reputations, I honestly couldn't care less.

Maybe you'll understand this one: "If you play with fire, you might get burned."

Yes, even people who don't play with fire sometimes get burned. Yes, it is possible to play with fire and not get burned. But, if you play with fire, you increase your risk of getting burned. Hire a stripper? Try not to be surprised if she lacks integrity.

These young men played with fire and got burned. Spare me the tears about their reputations.

In the prior thread, there was the interview with the Chapel Hill mom who visited the Finnertys (can't find the link just now). Didn't it have the idea that if Finnerty transfers he'll have the new campus immediately peg him as that "Duke Rape Kid" and have to set about clearing his name again on that campus. He won't have that problem on Duke's campus and the leftist nitwits are, by now, a disgruntled silent minority.

[Howlin]

Where are the 88?

Will they be issuing a statement?

[Mad-Margaret]

The way he acted yesterday, I gotta think that sombody will have to stop him. Nifong is delusional.

You called this hoax almost from the start. Take pride for being on the side of justice. Thank God for the bloggers!

[Howlin]

I pray you are right.

[Howlin]

Absolutely!

I'm enjoying every single minute of it!

[Howlin]

Shut up. Just shut up about these boys.

You are mean-spirited in the face of a travesty.

[Locomotive Breath]

See my post above. None of these guys was ever alone with this woman and there were 40 witnesses to that fact. Explain to me how that was playing with fire. It could have been any woman, including a Duke student at the party, making this claim. If you think only strippers have low morals then you need to get out more.

[maggief]

With Gottlieb and company on patrol they'd better keep their noses clean ... squeaky.
