They should have also sued each and every professor that signed the petition assuming their guilt.

I wonder how this was received in the Martin family attorney’s offices today.

The brilliant minds of Duke University were led into the gutter by Al Sharpton, a street hustler from the hood. I hope they paid plenty for the experience.

They didn’t need Sharpton. They could find that gutter all by themselves.

I’ve always said it, as a 5-year resident of Durham (thankfully no more), it’s a poisonous, evil place. And Duke is the worst part of it...a mixture of ultra-liberal guilty white academics sitting in the middle of a town run by black racists and white enablers. The second that Crazy Crystal Mangum started claiming rape, those students were never going to get a fair hearing either from the university or the city. It’s a measure of how far everything went that it took a Democratic state attorney general to slap down fellow Rat Mike Nifong and completely exonerate the three students of all charges.

Mangum, BTW, is sitting in jail up on murder charges for stabbing her last boyfriend to death.

Amen. Those cretins absolutely refuse to apologize for their reprehensible behavior. Instead, they blame the media and bloggers for publicizing their ad — basically, they’re blaming the witnesses of their crime.

The ring leader is the worst of all. A professor of African American studies who maintains that their actions were justified because of all the racism in this country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_of_88

Thank you politically correct America. You have unleashed a Pandora’s box of victim-mentality behavior that will never be taken back.

If you had access to all of the ‘settled out of court’ cases involving universities, you wouldn’t have to look for additional reading material for quite a long time.

Amen to that. And the local media too. Warning: if you are a white male in America you will be taken down. Warning Back: White males are pissed.

Unfortunately, they probably got very little, because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit threw out most of their case last month.

Duke’s endowment as of 2012 was $5.5 billion dollars. That’s billion - 5,600 million dollars. (and their earnings on it are tax free).

I expect they could pay out what would seem like a fairly lucrative settlement out the earnings from their endowment, and it would barely be noticed.

And alumni sheep (with sheepskins to prove it) will continue to donate.

Not enough bad things can happen to Mike Nifong, IMHO.

you can bet $$$$...absolutely NO penalties for the "righteously / Indignant"
university bureaucrats/professors & city officials who made these charges.
(mindless/moronic/liberal...sorry, i repeat myself)
...while these students went through HELL, after some "dancer"
sought to play "the system" (fame/$$$$)"

Maybe it’s a good thing that my kids could never be accepted by that ultra liberal cesspool Duke. If my son had wound up in that situation he would be in prison right now.

Only because the kids parents were rich were they able to hire the best law team available.

Still amazes me that Nifong is not in prison and can walk down the street a free man. Where have all the vigilantes gone?
