Guess somebady has to be guilty of something...if you're a white male attending Duke and you play lacross.
 
2006-05-08 10:09:33 PM
He's got to convict someone of something.
 
2006-05-08 10:15:59 PM
What a freakin' travesty.

If you can't get 'em for real crime, just get 'em for something. Anything. Maybe littering.

Well, he's already been re-elected...hasn't he? So, now that he's gotten all the headlines, now it's time to make the case go bye-bye as quietly as possible.

I wish this whole thing had been tried in the courtroom rather than how its been going on in the media.

bulldg4life: now it's time to make the case go bye-bye as quietly as possible.

You don't know much about Durham. He's probably protecting those boys by keeping the charges intact and going after them in other ways when a conviction for rape seems impossible.

Durham = the anal pore of N.C.

Well it was Tax Evasion that they finally got Capone for.

Obligatory: Duke Sucks.

But the way the media and the prosecution have handled this non case sucks more.

Hm. Crackwhore stripper gets wasted at gangbang, then cries rape. DA smells career advancement, proceeds without regard to logic or evidence. Whole thing blows up in his face. Chances of any convictions? Nil.

And, Javacrucian: WTF? I think you want the Ronald McDonald's Reagan thread, three doors down on the right...

Talk about a bad headline. The Captain of the lacrosse team was arrested prior for an open container and noise violation and the charges were dropped pending the Captain staying out of trouble for 6 months. For a site that biatches about personal responsiblity, y'all are sure giving the Duke players a get out of jail free card for when they fark up.

And honestly, Nifong is doing the best thing for these guys by not having the trial now. By waiting a year he is allowing the tension to diminish.

What was she thinking, dancing around all scantily clad in front of a room full of drunk college athletes?

I'm not saying she deserved to get raped, but if i walked around a bad part of town at night and kept shouting that I had $1000 in my wallet no one should feel sorry for me if I get robbed.

Classic.

I once got pulled over for a DUI check and came up clean. The cop then issued me a citation for not using my signal to pull over.

Dickwad. It's gotta be something, don't it?

Went to court to say to the world what happened, and the creep doesn't even show.

Pussy.

/software engineer...victim of profiling.
 
2006-05-09 12:34:01 AM
This case is easy.
Male Duke students simply do not have sex with women.
 
2006-05-09 12:35:13 AM
My problem with this is that the charges were deferred and then reinstated (sp). Removing all the other stuff you should be able to count on the courts to stick to their word about how and if they are going to prosecute. It just seems like reaching because the big things may not stick.
 
2006-05-09 12:35:29 AM
Wait, lemme get this straight. One of the guys that she was 100% sure on WASN'T EVEN THERE and the other guy may or may not have been there....

She also has some serious credibility issues and some problems with time lines.

I suggest they polygraph her and the guys and see who is lying (if they haven't already). I mean honestly, if she picked one guy (and she was 100% sure) and was WRONG, who's to say the other guy is right as well?

As for her getting raped in the bathroom for 30 minutes, come on now...That is a LONG time when you have a full party...nobody noticed?

Why the hell is it a crime for my passenger to drink a beer if I am driving? Man, North Carolina sure is a pussy state now. Why not change the name of the state to South Massachusetts?

Like I said weeks ago, both sides of this issue were criminals and deserve some kind of punishment regardless. The girl wont get it, but the guys will of course.

I once got pulled over for a DUI check and came up clean. The cop then issued me a citation for not using my signal to pull over.

wow. I am really lucky. I had that happened to me, except he let me go. I was young and dumb and had drank half a bottle of tequilla and drove my friends car with her in it to the store. beat a dui test(no breathilyzer) and drove away. he pulled me over because I forgot to turn on my headlights.
second time, I had been out all night playin' cards and drove home at six in the morn',fell asleep right around the corner from my home and wrecked into my neighbors cars. both cars were totalled. Cop made me go get my wife(ex), and she drove our banged up car home.
I didn't get a ticket either time.

lesson is have a wife, get the policeman between shifts and get pulled over on a blistering cold rainy night in november! ok..don't drink and drive.

/the more you know!

My initial kneejerk was that this was wrong, but after reading more I think it's the right thing to do. He was told to keep his nose clean in exchange for a slap on the wrist and he didn't. The guy's an idiot.
 
2006-05-09 12:44:50 AM
If we are going to go that far then should someone not be arrested for prostitution?

Gee, where have we seen this before? Oh yeah, Tom Delay, Rush Limbaugh, etc.

Im sure the Duke player and his attorneys are planning a nice malicious prosecution and abuse of process lawsuit against the city that will end up paying their student loans.

How did this get greenlit without a Duke Sucks comment in the headline?

Another thing, I know a few dancers..one of them being one of my best friends from High School. When she goes out to a bachelor party she always has at least one guy with her as a bodyguard. When you add hormones and alcohol into the mix alot of shyte can happen. dick_justice has a good point, it's just too bad that Common Sense seemed to go the way of cocaine after the 80's....out of style. These girls did not deserve to be raped, no one deserves to be taken advantage of like that. However you have to at some point realize where you farked up and see the precautions you could have taken to make the situation less stressful and tense.

Can't blame the liberals for open container laws. The liberal bastian state of Texas (sarcasm!) has a law against open containers anywhere in the passenger compartment

Quoted from the legislation...

"The types of open containers outlawed include a bottle, can, or other receptacle that contains any amount of alcoholic beverage and that is open, has been opened, has a broken seal, or the contents of which are partially removed."

So, that's not even a "currently open" container, but even a previously open one that has been recorked can't be carried inside the passenger area.

Anyone else hear the bit from Jesse Jackson about this?
At the start of all this Jacksons attempt to encourage others onto a course of honesty and morality was this.

From foxnews
Jackson.......yet to speak with the woman, said his group pledged to pay for her tuition even if her story proves false.


Because rewarding people for false accusations that harm others, as well as outright lying, is always something that we should encourage and reward.

Fox news has been covering this story 24/7 since it came out. You'd think there was more important stuff going on in the world to report on besides a stripper and some douche-bag.

oh.. wait.
 
2006-05-09 01:03:34 AM
Ok, maybe I'm reading this wrong, but basically the judge decided not to accept this "deferment", and now instead of having to do community service and be on probation, he just has to pay a $100 fine?

Seems like a nice deal to me.

"These girls did not deserve to be raped, no one deserves to be taken advantage of like that."

You don't believe for a second she was raped do you? I mean assuming you followed this case.

So I'm sitting at a stop sign waiting to turn right. I look to my right.. nothing. I look to my left.. an SUV coming down the road toward me. No problem. I'll just wait for him to pass, then make a right and continue on my way.

Then the farker slows down and turns without using a signal.

So you're that guy. Thanks.

Yeah, Jesse's soooooo generous, considering that the most he will pay is $1,039 per semester (assuming this girl takes 12 units there)

/maybe $2,022 if he chips in for costs too
//so much for the "stripper myth"

So basically the crackwhore stripper lied and in order to calm the media and other people pissed off at Duke Lacrosse (i.e., Jesse Jackson), the DA decides he has to bust these guys on something? As a criminal justice major that absolutely pisses me the fark off. Prosecutors are supposed to go after truth AND justice, not either or. Oh and by the way, the whole idea about giving them a polygraph may as well be thrown out the window. Those things are about as accurate as the local meteorologist and are used more as a confession tool than anything.

From the sounds of it, she takes plenty of units everywhere.

Did any of you even read the article?
This guy isn't accused of rape.
He just got charged for a parole/probation violation for being at a party that clearly included strippers and underage drinking.
It has nothing to do with the clearly guilty rapists.
That is a different case entirely.
Wake up and actually understand what is happening in the world.
Every person in this thread doesn't even live in the real world and has no idea what they're talking about.

Research the case and actually read the article before you make your stupid un-educated post.

fark that stupid attention whorin', bad die job, looks to be suffering from detal alcohol syndrome dyke of a DA. Oh, and that chunky slut-ass stripper, fark her too. And those Duke asshats. fark 'em all if they can't take a joke. Just a simple little sex assault joke. My goodness.

You mean Missy Ogyney, don't you?

I dated her for about a year and she made my life
a dank black hole of near un-ending self pity, anger and depression.

I now hate women because of it.

Unfortunately a good story like this sells papers, which is a true detriment to justice.
