Ann Coulter has written extensively on both cases and I agree that the Duke kids were wrongly tried...I also agree with Coulter that Knox is guilty. She has provided the best analysis of the Knox case of any in the US media. Kudos to her.
But indeed the parallels yes. Like Knox, Duke kids were perverts relishing in the kind of scummy, trashy behavior that has come to define and dominate the current state of our culture. The Duke lacrosse players embody the decline of manhood among all too many males in this country. No honor, no chivalry, no intellectual depth, or spiritual introspection—nope as long as you get into college, play a sport, and get a good job in the end, you are “ok” despite your tendencies toward lap dances, porn addiction, and alcoholism. Well at least fraternities promote “brotherhood” via hazing and parties where date rape drugs are served can raise money for “charity.”
There’s a glitch on this smart phone I am using that leads to double posting. Not my intention. I try to post minimally on FR in general.
Nice post, Condi!
Worth reading twice.
It never ceases to amaze me how gullible the media-raised children are.
