When will race baiting and liberal "lynch mobs" also face justice?
From the Associated Press: The committee, after deliberating for a little more than an hour, unanimously agreed with the bar on almost every charge - including the most serious allegations - that Nifong's actions involved "dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation."
State Bar prosecutor Douglas Brocker told the committee that as Nifong investigated the allegations that a stripper was raped and beaten at a March 2006 party thrown by Duke's lacrosse team, he charged "forward toward condemnation and injustice," weaving a "web of deception that has continued up through this hearing."
"Mr. Nifong did not act as a minister of justice, but as a minister of injustice," Brocker said.
Nifong apologizes..... To an "extent."
The decision of the N.C. disciplinary committee came one day after Mike Nifong promised to resign as Raleigh/Durham Prosecutor in an emotional statement where he also apologized "To the extent my actions have caused pain to the Finnertys and the Seligmanns and the Evanses, I apologize." "To the extent?" You ruined the reputations of these innocent men, stirred up incredible racial hatred and that's your apology? That ranks right up there with another Democrat, Senator Dick Durbin (IL), who apologized halfheartedly after comparing our troops at Gitmo to Nazi and Soviet death camp guards!
Liberal Lynch Mob Unapologetic
Even after making this "apology" Nifong insisted that he believed "something happened in that bathroom." A statement which no doubt will be used by the other vile actors in this saga to avoid any accountability for their actions in fanning the flames of racial hatred.
Despite the fact that the North Carolina Attorney General made an absolute declaration that the Duke Lacrosse players were "Innocent" the lynch mob that feeds off of a culture of vicitimology refuses to let go. Shadee Malaklou, member of the Duke "Women's Center" wrote an op-ed suggesting that despite the outcome of the legal process the Duke Lacrosse players aren't so innocent because, she claims, "very rarely are the Duke Lacrosse players not drinking or partying."
If Shadee (sounds pretty SHADY to me) were just an isolated example that would be one thing. But the culture of victimology has been so successful in demonizing, not just those falsely accused in this case, but the entire white political establishment.
Shadee and others were urged on by radical faculty members to protest, even the point they demanded that the accused Duke players be castrated (photos here). And after the facts were known, one of this "Group of 88" which later became the "Concerned Duke Faculty" declared that "Regardless of the ‘truth’ established in whatever period of time about the incident at the house on N. Buchanan Blvd [Lacrosse players house]., the engine of outcry in this moment has been fueled by the difficult and mundane reality that pre-existed this incident.”
One wonders how much money the Group of 88 faculty (from mostly very liberal academic departments with a penchant for preaching victimhood) squeezed out of Duke University for their programs in racial and cultural political brainwashing? We'll see more such injustices as long as the purveyor's of victimology make such a good living at it.
Stain on Larger Civil Rights Movement
And what about the wider civil rights (victims) activist community? Still no apology from any of them. The damage they have done is extreme. Not just in furthering hatred along racial and class divides, but also to the very cause they claim to represent.
Just think what happens next time a black woman makes an accusation of rape by white men? Will her charge get the serious attention it deserves or will the stain from this monstrous injustice at Duke demean very real racial and sexual injustice?
It's time for those who would deny the ALL the Duke Lacrosse Players their right to the presumption of innocence to be held accountable for their actions. Further action against former Prosecutor Nifong is demanded. But also, require all those who protested against the Lacrosse players, and the faculty who urged them on, to attend mandatory sessions on the rights of accused in our judicial system. For good measure, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should also attend, and in SILENCE!
How about payback to that group of “women” who banged on pots and pans outside of the frat house several days after the alleged attack did not happen?
and the line-up....that has got to be totally illegally and unethical and it did IIRC violate the cops own guidelines....
I think the judges should be reprimanded in some way.....
if this can happen to good looking rich young man going to Duke, what do you think happens to the poor white men picking up garbage for a living?...its frightening what people like Nifong could do...
What is frightening to me is that, in the midst of so much publicity, the process got as far as it did without dismissal of the case and severe reprimand to Nifong. The same process is being applied to Libby, and those two poor border patrol guys who have been railroaded. We need some very severe corrections to our political-legal system. Heads need to roll and people need to wake up.
thing we could do is work locally....get OUR people onto city councils, local judegships, into Congress.....we might not being able to take over the WH or Senate, but the House and the governorships and state houses can be obtained...
Patience, my freind. The state bar can't jail him. They plan to disbar him, which is about the worst they can do. This 'trial' is a professional process, not a criminal process, so jail is not an option. The bar can refer stuff to the DA or attorney general for prosecution, if it might be criminal. That is all the bar can do.
Now let's see the state bar actually do it.
I wouldn’t want to be Mike’s pockets when they get through with them.
“The SOB should indeed be in jail!!!!”
From what various news outlets are saying, criminal and civil charges may be next. Personally I will enjoy every minute of his life being totally ruined. I hope civil lawsuits take everything that he has. And no, I really do not care about wife and kids.
Enjoy the long slow process of him losing everything that matters to him. His career is gone, soon his freedom will be gone and then his future.
The name Nifong is coming up in court cases and his buddies are losing because of it. They are gonna circle the wagons with him on the outside.
You’re right.
In all practical terms, this is a non-issue. The FBI rape statistics for 2005 show something like 36,000 reported rapes of black women, and less than ten of those were not positively identified as a black man.
BTW this is my rebuttal to people who try to call me a racist. YES, I tell them, I DID assume it hadn't actually happened, just because of the race factor! Because it never actually does!
Nifong......not for long......
The best thing Nifong can do at this point is join the French Foreign Legion under the nom de guerre “Sac d’Engrais” and hope his friends and neighbors forget he ever existed.
Don’t forget that the Amiraults also were probably Nifonged, per Dorothy Rabinowitz’s columns in the Wall Street Journal. There is strong evidence that Janet Reno’s office Nifonged Grant Snowden when she was Dade County district attorney.
Probably planned so he can claim a medical condition if something dire comes up.
Hillary/Nifong 08!
Nifong was a Durham DA, not a Raleigh DA.
