Crystal Gail Mangum: Profile of the Duke Rape Accuser
FOXNews.com ^ | April 11, 2007 | Michael Y. Park

Posted on 04/11/2007 12:47:24 PM PDT by Saint Reagan

Some of the details of the Duke University rape case may never be solved, but one thing is startlingly clear: Crystal Gail Mangum, the woman who accused three college lacrosse players of locking her in a bathroom and raping her, has had a very troubled life.

Mangum has been identified by name publicly several times, including by lawyers during press conferences on the case.

According to North Carolina Department of Corrections records, she was born on July 18, 1978, to a truck driver. She grew up the youngest of three children, not far from the house where she claimed she was assaulted in 2006. Durham is a slow-paced Southern town with equally large populations of black and white residents and a history of racial tensions — including those between a wealthy, predominantly white university community and its poorer black neighbors.

LOL! It’s sort of difficult to disagree with that one, right?

You have totally oversimplified this case.

Looking at this article makes one go...OMG, can anyone believe that prosecutor would ever go along with her on this gang rape accusation. He does need to lose his law license for good.

I actually feel sorry for her (which is strange cause I’m dealing with a false accusation which has caused me to be banned from work). Especially since she doesn’t have any money. Hope the innocent men sue the right people. Duke U Prez, Nifong...

They’re not going to sue her, she has nothing, and Nifong really doesn’t either. They will sue Duke and the county.

What you have written here is utterly retarded and evil. After a year of unsubstantiated charges against these young men, on the day of their complete exoneration you make up some more.
If you read my post, I started out by saying that the guys at Duke were innocent of rape. I also happen to believe that Nifong was criminal in his actions.
However, to say that my opinion is retarded and evil is not accurate.
I simply do not believe that it is smart or moral for a group of college boys to hire strippers for their entertainment. And I hope other young men will learn from this.
Now, If you interpret this as "saying evil things and hating on people for no good reason" so be it. But please don't insult me by implying that I would have more friends at DU.

Well, I certainly agree that it was not smart and I personally would be morally opposed to it, but the act of hiring a stripper is well within what is "normal" for our society today. However you went far further in your post than just condemning the hiring of strippers, and it was your other accusations to which I was so vehemently objecting. To wit:

I am convinced that these guys were less than polite to the strippers and I suspect that the N word was liberally tossed around.

There is no evidence for this, period. Further you went on to imply that her false accusations were an understandable response to the atheletes behavior, which serves to excuse her demonstrable evil. What you have done here is far more wrong to me than anything the atheletes were proven to have done. Race baiting is the #1 leftists tool against our society and you are abetting their use of this wickedness.
