Duke Rape Case - Updated

I still have to wonder...

If the alleged victim in the Duke Rape Case was a promiscuous white Coed, and the accused were black players from the Football or Basketball team... Would conservatives be so eager to dismiss the charges as false? What happened to "lets have a trial?" If these boys are innocent, then we need to rely on the justice system to demonstrate it.

Instead, this case has been all about, "Ho's, and innocent boys having their lives ruined." If this girl lied, then she ought to be prosecuted. It's as simple as that. But the DA has decided to go ahead with prosecution, and a Grand Jury has found reason to proceed with one. All of these news stories about inconsistencies will mean nothing when the case goes to trial.

I for one am sick of this girl being dragged through the mud because of her profession or her past. What about the Gay bashing Lacrosse player. I never hear about that incident on Conservative blogs. If anything, that at least implies a propensity towards violence and discrimination on the part of the player. What does not seem to be in much dispute, is that racial slurs and insults were used during the party, a dehumanizing tactic often used by those inflicting violence on those who they see as, "lesser," than them.

I don't know what happened that night. I do know that there will likely be a trial, and we will ALL have a better idea at that time of how strong the evidence is. There is a possibility that the case may be full of holes, and eventually dismissed. If it is, great! But it seems to me that BOTH parties deserve their day in court.

More often than not, the alleged victims of rape get dragged through the mud. I dunno if it is the defense going to the court of public opinion or not...

I dunno why cases like this (as bad as it is) gets latched onto by the MSM... what is with all the sensationalism in news anymore? Why all the stories about the missing white girl? Why does the entire nation need to know what happened in little old Duke? Isn't there more important news?

Like Brad and Anjelina had their baby...

I will go cry in the corner now.

Funny how you don't mention the prominent liberal blogger (TalkLeft) who thinks the case is shit. It's a case about justice not politics, not much different than the Kobe Bryant case, aside from the race of the accused and accuser. There we're a hell of a lot of people who questioned the evidence (or lack thereof) in the Bryant case too...

The stripper originally claimed that the second stripper helped with the rape!

Just when you think this case hit rock bottom, you find a sub-basement.

If Mike Nifong doesn't get disbarred after this, then there really is a corrupt system in Durham that protects rich white guys.

While Mark is crying in the corner, I hope this will send a strong mesage to women who wants to claim rape to extort money from boys and their families.

I for one will not let this case get swept under the rug. These boys were attacked by almost every racists and sexist political group, their lives were turned upside down, and three of their lives are totally destroyed as their parents will have to pay several hundred thousands of dollars in legal fees.

As this case unravels to be the false claim that it is, feminist blogs have gone silent to pretend nothing ever happened, but I will continue to post facts to break through sexist stereotypes used by misandry feminist marketing that all men are evil and all women saintly.

People have to remember that women who make false claims of rape, which ranges between 12% to 50% of all rape claims, not only destroys innocent men, but also hurts real victims of rape.

I've always thought of Duke students as spoiled little rich kids who have the money to go to real Ivy-league schools but for some reason can't get in.

This whole sorry incident just reinforces my view.

I hope that the young lady gets justice.

Posted by: EdWonk at June 12, 2006 01:58 AM

I haven't had anything to say about this case, but I think part of the outrage was the severe punishment and public humiliation inflicted upon the accused before a shred of evidence was in. The team was disbanded and the players made pariahs on what now appears to be almost zero evidence -- and, in fact, solid exculpatory evidence (the one guy with a nearly absolute alibi comes to mind).

I don't know if race was much of a factor here, but the political ambitions of the DA certainly seemed to have been a major contributor.

It seems to me that it's unlikely that this case will ultimately go to trial. Nifong will drop the charges, after stringing this out for months.

And no justice will be served, regardless of the truth of the matter.

If Mike Nifong doesn't get disbarred after this, then there really is a corrupt system in Durham that protects rich white guys. In Nifong's case - stupid rich white guys with transparent political agendas, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Nifong can turn a pig's ear into a silk purse.

I too hope the "young lady" gets what she deserves in prison.

Posted by: Betty Friedan at June 12, 2006 01:23 PM

Ever since every sexist and racist group descended onto Duke to publicly condemn these boys, I went into over drive trying to make people consider that these boys wouldn't have submitted to DNA testing if they were guilty, but since the 1st DNA evidence came back, I became more persistent and met equally persistent feminist (i.e. feministing, Rachael’s Tavern, Alas a blog, Tennessee Guerrilla Women, Justice4Sisters, Hazel8500 etc...) who adamantly insist these boys are guilty for no other reason than because a "woman" (i.e. the stripper) claims it so.

I've noticed since then that most of feminist blogs have fallen silent as new evidence suggests that the stripper's claim to be false.

However, just when you think this case hit rock bottom, there’s about 50 feet of crap, then you find a sub-basement where in the corner Mike Nifong is hunched over clutching this dead case like “Gulum” (movie: Lord of the Rings) clutches the “ring of power”.

A great place to view that unbiased facts is:

I love this quote:

I love cherry pie, but I don't like cherry picking. Some people are trying to claim that the defense attorneys are cherry picking, but I don�t see it.

Much of the information Mike Nifong leaked wasn't so much cherry picked as it was artificially made by him personally (i.e. date rape drug, his reasoning of no DNA match, etc...).

Maybe Nifong is just clumsy and trying to make a pie, which would explain why he has egg on his face.

To David A: Um, the lax player was the one called gay - he isn't the one who did the calling. Get your facts straight, buddy. There was no rape. This is nothing more than a second rate DA making the most of his 15 minutes to get elected. Shame on Nifong.

We'd like to invite all those who believe in freedom and pro-active civil rights to attend the following theatre production. It runs thru June 25, 2006.

For Immediate Release...

Dar He: The Lynching of Emmett Till - Theatre Production

CHAPEL HILL - Dar He: The Lynching of Emmett Till written and performed by Mike Wiley and directed by Serena Ebhardt will be at Deep Dish Theater at University Mall in Chapel Hill, NC June 8 – 25, 2006 . Thursdays – Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Sundays at 3:00 p.m. Rating: Mature. For reservations and information, call 919-968-1515. Tickets for all performances are $15, $13 for seniors, and $10 for students.

While visiting Mississippi from Chicago, fourteen-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped from his uncle's home in the middle of the night— several days after he allegedly whistled at Carolyn Bryant, a local white woman. Days later, Till’s mutilated body was found in the Tallahatchie River, weighted down with a cotton gin fan. His nose was crushed. His left eye was missing, and his right eye was dangling on his cheek. A hole was blown in his right temple. Most of his teeth were gone. The body was identified only by a ring he was wearing. His mother held an open-casket funeral in Chicago, shocking the public with the sight of her son's battered body. Carolyn Bryant's husband, Roy Bryant, and his half brother, J.W. Milam, stood trial on murder charges weeks later. After 67 minutes of deliberations, the all-white jury found the men innocent. The brothers later confessed to the crime in a paid interview in Look magazine.

In light of recent news events, Dar He: The Lynching of Emmett Till is still a story for our time. Written and performed by Mike Wiley, this original work explores the lost truth of a hate crime that set the civil rights movement in motion. This one-man play chronicles the murder, trial and unbelievable confessions of the men accused of Till’s lynching. Fifty years later, questions still remain. Fifty years later no one has been convicted – yet. Fifty years later, our own trials await.

Dar He: The Lynching of Emmett Till is an original co-production by Mike Wiley Productions www.MikeWileyProductions.com and EbzB Productions www.EbzB.org. The play is directed by Serena Ebhardt and was originally performed in February 2006 at Virginia State University. For additional information and high-resolution publicity photos of Dar He: The Lynching of Emmett Till please contact ebzb@earthlink.net.

Since when does a rape allegation result in the cancellation of a entire sports season? Certainly not when a black Kentucky Basketball player was accused last year of rape by a white girl. Answer: when the the allegaed rapist is white and the alleged victim black.

Where was the outrage the last time the Duke alleged rape victim said she was raped (a number of years ago she said that 3 black men raped her). There were no protests or offers of a scholarship from Jessy Jackson.

Posted by: Mike Brown at June 20, 2006 10:23 AM

Duke didn't only abandon these boys, they joined the wolves attacking these boys.

Posted by: Betty Friedan at June 22, 2006 02:14 PM

Can we all just dispense with the vitriolic hate filled messages and mourn for the tragedy that this represents for all parties concerned. Lawyers and DA's will get famous and move on, while the parties on both sides will have their lives and reputations ruined.

No one wins here. Trust me.

Posted by: Meret at June 24, 2006 06:47 PM

Dear Meret,

The answer to your question is "NO"!

Lives have been destroyed by a vicious stripper's lie and the unscrupulous behavior of a politically motivated DA. Anyone who believes in justice should be rightfully outraged! Those of you who want to hide these injustices are as guilty as those who commit such heinous acts, so I hate to be the one who pushes you off your high horse "Meret", but not all of us are as apathetic to justice, fairness, and common decency.

Making a false claim of rape is bad enough, but having a DA – an elected official within our judicial system – pervert justice in the persecution of innocent boys so that he can be elected “hero” is deplorable!

Wow! I guess I’m in a “melodramatic” mood this morning, but I think I got my point across.

BTW Meret, why should anyone "trust you" - or anyone else who is so much wants to silence opposition to innappropriate behavior of elected officials in our court system?

Posted by: Betty Friedan at June 25, 2006 07:17 AM

Betty, you have never answered my question? Do you have a time machine or something. Have you traveled forward in time and read the verdicts? If not, why dont you give it a rest. Yeah we got it. You hate the woman. She to you is a whore... worse a Black Whore, who has destroyed the lives of some precious young white kids who were forced to have a strip party, call people nigger and generaly show their elitist, racist asses. YEAH we got it! Give it a rest!

Posted by: David Scott Anderson [TypeKey Profile Page] at June 25, 2006 04:27 PM

Okay okay Scott Anderson. I will answer your question.

Yes I do have a time machine.

I also have etes that read, and a mind that thinks, and sommon sense that makes sense. It doesn't take a time machine to know that these boys are innocent.

Since I have some free time, I'll humor you

David Scott Anderson �Yeah we got it. You hate the woman.�

I don�t hate the woman, but I do think what she�s done was horrible, and the lives of these innocent boys will never be the same. Hopefully this criminal case will be followed by 47 civil suits that will leave the stripper, the stripper�s family, the DA�s office, and the City of Durham in multi-millions in debt for decades to come.

Duke Lacrosse Rape Accuser Mentioned No Condoms Were Used
It seems the defense keeps finding more to support their side of things, with each new piece of information they get. Now from that stack of 1,300 papers, they have discovered that the stripper accuser mentioned no condoms were used. No condoms and�
The stripper�s body was completely void of any sign of a sexual assault (except for signs of recent vaginal and anal from her boyfriend). The alleged crime scene was completely devoid of DNA.

It is impossible that a crime scene with three drunk men in a small enclosed room with a fighting and clawing woman being orally, virginally, and anally penetrated not leave any DNA evidence of urine, blood, vaginal fluid, sweat, fecal matter, scat smears, saliva, tears, or semen... especially if condoms were used. How would they take off the condoms during all this chaos without spilling, smearing, or touching the content inside or outside of the condom?

When investigators questioned the stripper after DNA tests on the semen found inside her vagina and rectum didn�t match any of the Duke players, the stripper admitted to having had sex with at least three men around the time of the alleged rape. The stripper named her boyfriend and two men who drove her to Duke. She also confessed to using a vibrating sex toy vaginally during a performance, prior to the Duke party, for a man and woman.


When questioned, the �drivers� said they would drop her off at several places, including hotel rooms.

Many sexist and feminist groups have marketed this stripper as a courageous single mother, but new information seem to tarnish her �halo�.


David Scott Anderson ��were forced to have a strip party,�

No one forced her to be a stripper. She did a show/performance right before having sex with the two men dropping her off at the Duke Lacrosse party, where she used a mechanical sex toy to entertain a man and woman in a hotel room. A hotel room unlike the one she had sex with another �client� the day before.

David Scott Anderson �� call people nigger and generaly show their elitist, racist asses. YEAH we got it!�

I�ve never called anyone a nigger. Only racist-baiter accuse others of calling them niggers, but I never fell for that for them and I�m not going to fall for that from you. You don�t really have a complaint against me, you�re only angry because you know that I�m right, and the black stripper, who had children with another man while married, was dishonorably discharged from the Navy, and is having her kids raised by her media hungry parents while she parties and has sex with multiple strangers � in between making false claims of rape and kidnapping - lied about being raped.


David Scott Anderson � Give it a rest�

I rest my case

Posted by: Betty Friedan at June 26, 2006 12:18 PM

Well, I guess you have got it all decided then. Glad you rested your case though. I personally was getting tired of it.

Posted by: David Scott Anderson [TypeKey Profile Page] at June 26, 2006 06:18 PM

Yes. I'm very competent and complete, and I don't tire easily, especially on important issues.

But in this case, I have been a total idiot. The truth is that I am really a man who was rejected by a Black woman once. It made me realize that they are all just whores.

This one in particular. She should be happy that such intelligent, accomplished young white boys even wanted to touch her, but no, the Nigger bitch had to go out and make an accussation.

I hope she burns in hell! Now I am going to go jerk off to my Black Butts magazine.

I am done...

Posted by: Betty Friedan at June 27, 2006 06:02 PM

The fact is black or white justice is not being served in this case...we can play if the race were different theory all day long....and we are still left with a woman who has changed her story over and over....bottom line....cops found her passed out drunk...and she tells 3 different stories to get herself out of trouble....no doubt these kids at duke are not innocent...but underage drinking goes on at every college...and disturbing the peace is a long way from rape...

Posted by: jim at June 30, 2006 07:46 PM

Beety friedan was a true feminist who wanted equality, not only for women, but for men... what you did in her name (i.e. blog manager) is just wrong.

Posted by: Janis at November 11, 2006 02:50 PM

Eh Janis, I did not do anything in her name.
