They were kicked out of college. Their families were forced to spend untold hundreds of thousands of dollars for attorneys. Their lacrosse team was disbanded. The senior lacrosse players at Duke had their pre-graduation job offers revoked. You know what...if you honestly think all of that is okay

Uh, no, from the beginning of this, my commentary has ONLY been about "restoring their reputations."

I'm sorry if that has been anything less than abundantly clear.

You seem to be unaware of your own posts. This is what you said:

So, in the end, what damage has been done to the young men's reputations? They're not rapists. Maybe their reputation will be that of "whoremonger" for a few years. Big whoop.

It's a pretty big whoop when someone gets kicked out of college, death threats received, the team and sport for which you've trained for years is disbanded and your parents are forced to spend gobs of money.

But hey, big whoop.

The whole thing about hiring the strippers in the first place has been the fall-back position of the lefties who have insulted and disparaged these boys over and over again, publicly, each time another shoe proving their innocence has dropped.

It's all you got left, lol, and it's nothing.

Their reputations are damaged by the charges and the perp walk, not the party or hiring of strippers.

You entire argument is a fallacy because the "lumps" they are taking are not a result of hiring strippers for a spring break party. The lumps they are taking are the results of actions taken by other people with personal agendae in one case, staying out of jail/rehab; the other case about self-promotion to win an election.
