ROFL You were right, Sue.

It sad that some here seem to think the boys had it coming for paying to see some skank’s “dirty pillows.”
Who mentioned Georgia earlier? She’s on!
Why don’t you save some of your derogatory and judgmental remarks for a woman w/children who deliberately strips and prostitutes herself instead of working at a respectable job? Isn’t she wrong to get into that’business’?
You’re probably right. You can’t make this stuff up.
I am confused...are you saying the media has always said it is ok to strip and hire strippers? What media are you watching? All we heard at the beginning of this was the guys must be guilty BECAUSE they hired strippers. There were former DA tv hosts who were constantly making the case that hiring strippers was much worse than being one, I guess they have no others skills to feed their babies and drug habits. The whole team was vilified for underage drinking and hiring strippers.

There’s a “yeah but...” every time something like this happens. I don’t know if it’s a desire to blame the victim or to just stir up trouble.
In fairness, she has been singing a different song for a while now. I sensed she was a bit PO'd that she'd been led astray by Nifong.
The NAACP speaks. LOL. They don't "get" it. Innocent is innocent and that is the word used.

The same group that believes after all this time that OJ didn’t do it, will believe forever that these three young men did.
They should have been listening to the other presser. Cheshire even spelled it for them.
Why do producers think that an audience interested in a subject would rather hear their commentators discuss an event rather than here the actual event. It's a frustrating mystery to me.
No, I've seen almost nothing at all in the media about it being wrong to hire strippers. The lacrosse players have been portrayed for the greater share of this media story as being tragic, innocent victims.
The lacrosse players were being wrongly prosecuted for an allegation of rape, by the hired stripper, herself. The false allegation was of rape, not of being hired to do her job. Presumably, hiring strippers is legal where they live, as it is just about anywhere else. Rape is not. This was a (false) rape case.
Logging off now, to do my work. I'll be off the site and I haven't been very interested in this story anyway, compared to what else is out there to focus on.
The timing was very interesting. They dumped out at precisely the moment that the press was getting a lot of heat from one of the attorneys.
They were getting exposed in the lies that they have been broadcasting, and getting beat up.
And wouldn't you know, and I checked it myself, every last one of them dumped out at the same time. FOX news, CNN, MSNBC, Court TV.
One of their (or CNN? I'm flipping channels) is still calling her the "victim." It wasn't a slip as she said it twice. False accuser would be more appropriate.
I prefer lyin’ ho. But these days the media gets into a snit.
” Yet, aside from the fact that one gets closer to jeapordizing situations, it is wrong to hire a stripper.
It is harmful to all, to hire a stripper.
It degrades everyone concerned. It takes a God-given treasure and throws it in the dirt.
It desensitizes one to what is good and of lasting pleasure, for the temporary pleasures of misappropriated sexuality.
It coarsens. It defiles. It dysfunctions.”

What would you tell your son if he found himself in a similar situation. Leave?
Seligman left the party. Did he do the “right thing?”
How about Finnerty?
You are passing judgement, IMO.
Just don’t use the word “nappy”. It’ll get your comment pulled....apparently.
The media uses the word innocent when discussing both pleas and findings in trials. In both cases, the correct term is "not guilty" which is why the statement INNOCENT is so powerful. One means not-able-to-be-proven. The other that no wrong was done. Media writers surely know this; just another example of their choosing to be muddy.
nappy... (just testing the waters).
