They're white, so they must be guilty (of something).

[undeniable logic]

That is dumb. Is the author implying that because (i) they engaged in immoral behavior the conspiratorial prosecutorial misconduct was not so inappropriate and (ii) because others have been unjustly prosecuted, we shouldn't sympathize with them?

(ii) is especially stupid. Should we not feel sorry for a rape, murder, etc. victim because others have been victimized as well?

let us also remember a few other things:

They were part of a team that collected $800 to purchase the time of two strippers.

And? Wow, guys in college want to see strippers, stop the presses.

Their team specifically requested at least one white stripper.

Why is this a problem for Mr. Moran - "at least" implies that these guys didn't ask for an all-white stripper team, and I fail to see the problem even if they did. Different guys have different tastes. I assume that Mr. Moran probably has his own preferences in women as well.

During the incident, racial epithets were hurled at the strippers.

Why is Terry Moran stating this as fact? Was he there? Apparently the only person who claimed this happened was the accuser who also claimed - falsely - that she was raped.

Colin Finnerty was charged with assault in Washington, DC, in 2005.

Well, that certainly justifies being falsely accused in 2006 of rape and assault, suspended from college, paying attorney fees to defend against a clearly delusional prosecutor, and facing the possibility of doing serious jail time for a crime he didn't commit.

So it’s racist to ask for a white stripper? You can’t specify what sort of stripper you find most attractive? What if you ask for a brunette — is that OK?

I married a white woman. Am I a racist? I think so.

I think this Terry dude is a retard, too, so I think I am also a jerk.

Shocking, even from a liberal. I hope he’s never subjected to the kind of ‘justice’ he is advocating.

If the MSM is looking for some folks for whom to feel sorry, check out THIS story the networks somehow just overlooked.

They were part of a team that collected $800 to purchase the time of two strippers.

$800 divided by a team of over 40 members is less than $20 a piece. Those lacrosse players were simply swimming in money. /sarc

"The young men were able to retain a battery of top-flight attorneys, investigators and media strategists."

If you're a black ex-NFL star accused of slashing your ex-wife's throat and killing her boyfriend, this is a good thing.

If you're a white college lacrosse player accused of raping a stripper you're stigmatized for it.
