One thing I can’t get past, is that everyone is going after Nifong. What I want to know is why isn’t anyone going after Jackson and Sharpen, after all they were rabid when they thought the Lacrosse players were not going to be charged. Where are their appolagize to the Duke Lacrosse players? Why don’t we see the tapes of Jessie and Al having their tirade during the whole fiasco I feel that if it wasn’t for their foaming at the mouth rants it would not have gone as far as it did……….or wouldn’t that be PC. I hope the 3 innocent lacrosse players go after Al and Jessie too they have VERY deep pockets

Mr. Nifong may be in more trouble than it seems. Why would the “victim” press charges knowing the allegations to be false, especially since casual sex didn’t seem to bother her (as evidenced by the DNA found in her and on her underwear from three other men, not from Duke). She also at no time apparently tried to squeeze the players for money.
Rather I believe that when it all comes out, we will learn that it was a set-up by Mr. Nifong from the beginning. He needed a high profile case to win election to DA in a majority black town. What better way than to have the rich, white boys rape a poor local black girl and he be rhe hero prosecutor?
I believe Mr. Nifong researched to find the group at Duke who had the raunchiest parties, had the “victim” solicit them to hire her as a stripper, lure them into sexual acts and then cry, “rape”.
Problem is the boys didn’t take the bait. Nifong, believing the rapes had occurred, was fully confident when he ordered the DNA tests. Seems the “victim” hadn’t gotten around to telling him it didn’t actually happen. And so, it fell apart.
I believe Mr. Nifong tired to pull off a massive fraud to win his election. It worked… until now. I hope the full truth of this fiasco finally comes out, and Mr. Nifong gets what he fully deserves.

The side of America that is shocked that the Duke players were drinking at a party, and think that is bad enough, need to come back to the “Real World” and realized their kids in college are going to parties in college with not only drinking, but severe drug use. Most kids party in college, get over it. The real crime in this case is how every member of the Duke Lacrosse program will never be looked at in the same light as they once were, even if they were not even present at the party. That is a crime. Also, it clearly looks like a similar situation to Tawana Bradley and she will NEVER face consequences if she is lying! EVER! If it turns out she made the whole thing up, she will still be receiving financial support and scholarship money from several African American groups, and will not go to jail. Making false accusations of rape is JUST as big of crime as doing it and it only hurts real rape victims in the future. If it turns out she is lying, when there is a similar case the woman, even if telling the truth, will lack serious credibility. Did Tawana Bradley ever go to jail? NO. Should she have? Yes, she should be in jail RIGHT NOW and have about twenty years left on her sentence. Who can the Duke lacrosse players sue when this is all said and done? They can’t sue the victim because she doesn’t have a dime; she actually made money if she is lying thanks to good old Jesse Jackson. I hope these kids are proven innocent and file a suit against the State of North Carolina and Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong for their severe errors in handling this case. Nifong should be stripped of all rights to practice law in the state and hopefully everywhere in the United States. Even if she is not lying, which at this point seems near impossible, his actions are means for dismissal of the case and should cause him to lose his job anyway. Using a case for political reasons in any circumstance, let alone in the fashion that Nifong did, should be a crime. Will every one in the media write articles to the Duke students when it comes out they are innocent after the harsh articles written earlier in the year that labeled them as 100 percent guilty and “rich criminals and hooligans”. I would like to see an apology. The only “hooligan” in this case is Mike Nifong!

You know who the real bad guys are in this whole thing?

-Mike Nifong.
-the media.

Both of these have ensured that this process becomes symbolic of race relations and not a cut-and-dry criminal case, which is forcing certain populations to take sides. This is looking like Tawana-frickin-Brawley all over again.

About the only real lessons that can be learned from this are:

-taking off your clothes in front of horny adolescent males is basically prostitution and nothing good can come of it

-soliciting women to take off their clothes in front of you and your drunk friends is asking for trouble

-to some people, race is everything, and trumps even justice

I am not a snob, I’m just a much better, smarter and more civilized person than the so-called accuser, stripper, whore.

I don’t smoke crack, make false police reports, drink 2 bottles of vodka in 3 hours and lie to the police.

The Lax players simply forgot to score a goal with the butt end of their sticks, she would have been able to identify that stick going in and out, even with 2 bottles of vodka insisde her diseased and worthless body.

Another sista trying to get over on the white man, aint gonna work this time, and Nifong will be washing floors in the Judges restrooms after he fucks this one up. Serves him right, he’s been waiting to ambush Duke and Duke Lax players for years. What a weasel he’s turned out to be, again, still.

This entire proceeding is a joke. This student-crakho-stripper has had over 6 run-ins with the law, either being busted or making false, non-supported allegations. Check her background, I’ll give you her name and SSN if you want: Larceny, fraude, filing a false ploice report, drunk and disorderly, possession of a controlled substance. Does this background (as well as unwed, single ho-mother) make her a viable and credible accuser? You have to be joking right?

She should stick to bl0# jobs in the back seat for $20 and appearances on Jerry Springer for $38.50 per episode, what a stupid, retarded and slutty human being this maggot is.

This whole procees stinks. “Alleged” “Indicted” “Suspected” “Suspect”… does anyone know the English definitions of those words? None of these students are guilty until proven to be guilty, nor is the Coach, why did he resign? Let me guess, the “new” black panthers will judge the case? Those pussies are even less human than their 1960’s “brothers”, get a life and get off welfare from the “man” you hypocrites.

This entire PC process must have been dreamt up by Johnny Cochran’s ghost and sista-soldia. What a load.

Last word, “student” female, stripper, call-girl and you have no responsibility for the environment you place yourself in? Get a grip and go cry rape in a convent, not as a stripper at a Lacrosee team party, what a dumbass and what a waste of time this all is. Play Lacrosee and go graduate you guys, let the lo-lifes be proved wrong and then sue their ass till it turns white.

Go Duke Lacrosse!

Just found your BLOG today – would be interesting to get your thoughts as of today given how the Nifong Facts have been evolving. I strongly disagree that you hold the belief that any family who has the $44k to send a child to Duke should be ashamed of themselves. The shame should be on yourself.
Please face the facts – the inital allegations were/are very serious assuming they were/are true. However, the players appear to be victims given what facts have started to appear. Nifong will do anything to make this conviction including fabrication of facts and outright lies. The Lacrosse Team may indeed have been over the top in their behavior for years – it does not mean they are rapists because of that behavior. Wake up and stop being pro-Nifong and anti-Duke.

Zuska,

i didn’t realize that “rich, white, male, and hiring a stripper” = rape. did you learn that in your feminist algebra class?

now before you get all bent out of shape, please read the following very slowly to aid your comprehension.

i think most reasonable people believe that most of these lacrosse players stink in the character department, but that doesn’t mean they raped anyone!

personally, though, i think the woman’s story is bogus–she doesn’t sound like an angel either! if i had to guess (and it’s just a guess!), the guys were disappointed with the stripping/dancing, got rowdy, insulting, and maybe refused to pay (do you pay before or after the performance? i don’t know–i’ve never hired a stripper). she wanted to get back, made up the rape story and it got way the hell out of control.

now read this next sentence very carefully.

but for all i know, it could have happened. let’s wait and see Zuska.
