If either of these kids go back, they should have their heads examined. They are going to have big fat targets painted on their backs, and will be set up by every radical feminist and/or race hustler on campus.

A university far, far away, under an assumed name, is the way to go, here. It may not be justice, but it is practical.

Yeah, I think each defendant and really each Duke lacrosse player, regardless of their previous views, now has to become somewhat practical racists. There will always be some fraction of people who believed they raped Mangum. A high percentage of these people will be black. Each will never know when someone who "knows they got away with raping Mangum" will seek street justice on her behalf. They need to give such situations a wide berth.

It is sad, but I hope their parents make them understand this. Their need to be careful in fact is more rational than the woman raped by a black man who afterwards avoids black men at all costs. Both are understandable though.
