I am very dismayed at the quotes coming out of Duke. Whatever happened with the Lacrosse team it's innocent till proven guilty. The police are doing an investigation and people need to have it finished before making accusations of justice not being served. That is how our system works.
However, two of your students however make RACIST quotes. I am deeply offended. These athletes, it's possible have little money and are on scholarship. Either way, what is wrong with having money? Are you automatically guilty because you have money? Soon they will be graduating Duke and be the hated "rich". I don't envy someone's money and neither should they.
Worst they also made prejudice comments about being male and white. This talk should have been condoned. I believe they need diversity training as it's a TWO WAY STREET.
"They need presidents, they need administrators, they need faculty, to tell them that it was wrong behavior and that they are not going to be coddled because they are athletes, because they come from privileged backgrounds, because they have money," Michelle Christian told Durham's WTVD-TV."
"We understand that the legal system is that you are innocent until proven guilty," said sophomore Kristin High. "But people are nervous and afraid that these people are going to get away with what they did because of a wealthy privilege, or male privilege, or a white privilege."
Also if anyone else if offended http://www.dukechronicle.com/contactus/
When it comes to rape and racism people who are accused are assumed guilty until proven innocent.
Who do these guys think they are, football players?
Yet another reason to hate DOOK
D'Sousa described Duke as one of a number of schools which had once been serious but which in recent years had become little more than a Political Correctness factory.
Where's your proof of that?
The Duke Men's lacrosse roster has been pulled from their website.
Circle the wagons.
Those that continue to refuse to cooperate with investigators should be charged with obstruction and of being an accessory after the fact.
Welcome to the USSA. Just hope some screwed up kid (or a kid with a screwed up therapist) or a kid with a mean Mom in a custody suit, never accuses you of anything. Because, your life is over.
And if it turns out the stripper is lying, we'll be sure to make that a headline story, too.
Um, you have the right against self incrimination I assume? And how many headlines are we gonna get when no one is charged? Or at most, 1/12 of the team?
I see that you have suspended the Fifth Amendment. Any others with which you would like to do away?
Retraction small corner of p.2
At least that is how the NYSlimes does it.
If one is witness to a crime, are they not obligated to make that fact and all other relevant details known?
If there is a witch hunt and no one cares who is charged, are you obligated to provide yourself as a sacrificial lamb?
Why do you characterize the investigation as such?
True, one does have the right to not incriminate oneself, but those who didn't attack or have voluntary sex with the victim/accuser could easily get themselves cleared. Instead, they chose to clam up and protect potentially guilty teammates. It reminds me of the "No snitching" attitude currently popular in many cities now.
