By now you all should be aware that the three young men who were accused of raping a stripper down at Duke University have all been found innocent and had the charges against them dropped. This was the only course of action that the legal system in North Carolina could take because the boys were 100% completely innocent! I mean for Christ’s Sake, one of them was videotaped at an ATM at the time of the alleged attack!
With the recent fervor around the Don Imus situation, the Duke Lacrosse case has seemingly dropped off the radar screen. But this is a case that SHOULD be talked about. Let’s try to figure out what happened here…
A group of college guys hired two strippers to perform at one of their parties. The two girls came in and stripped. The next day one of them cried rape and a huge media circus ensued. Over a year later, it turns out that the boys were the victims of a greedy whore, a self-promoting district attorney, and an unjust media-supported legal system. Let’s have some further discussion…
If anyone gets mad or annoyed at the fact that I am among the many voices who are calling this stripper a whore, then you’re delusional. This girl admittedly fucked a number of men before going over to the Duke Lacrosse house (and her stained panties prove that). She had DNA on her and her clothing from a few guys – NONE of which were from the Duke Lacrosse team. Even if she was raped with a condom (which she obviously wasn’t), there would be DNA evidence all over the place. There was none.
Her family is now coming out and saying that they aren’t surprised the case is being dropped because they’re poor black people and the accused are rich white people. Oh bullshit on that! Your daughter is a whore who slept with a bunch of guys. She walked, intoxicated, into a house with a bunch of rich white kids and thought “payday!” Good Lord it’s the obvious truth. It is absolutely disgusting and shameful for this family to denigrate their entire race by saying these boys weren’t prosecuted because they were white. This family needs to get off of the black/white race thing because everyone under the age of 40 in this country who has a half-decent education is already over the whole stupid race baiting bullshit that old bullies like Al Sharpton love because it keeps them in business.
Whew! There’s a lot in that last paragraph – you may want to go back and re-read it!
But the other part of this story that just has me furious is the presumption of guilt laid on these boys until they were unequivocally proven innocent. It’s disgusting. Anyone who had ANY hand in prolonging the truth from coming out should be thrown in jail for a minimum 5 year term (and the truth is that this girl was out of her mind and these boys were unjustly accused and investigated). Why such a harsh term? Damn it! Has anyone out there read ANYTHING about American history? Does anyone remember the story of the founding of this fucking country?!?
People were thrown in jail all of the time by the British in the 1600 and 1700’s. They needed no warrants and you were guilty if they said so. Doesn’t that ring a bell to any of you out there?!? How can we, in the years 2006 and 2007, allow such a disgrace to take place in North Carolina? Why? Because the accuser is a poor black woman and the accused were rich white men? What the fuck does that matter? Where does innocence come into play, damn it?!?
And then you have the mob of locals in and around the Durham, North Carolina area. Having gone to school at Monmouth University, I know what it’s like to attend school in a neighborhood that absolutely hates your presence and to have neighbors that will go out of their way to literally stand on their property line to listen if they can hear a peep out of your house so they can call the police (that actually happened to me and my housemates). These Duke boys were the victims of a public witch hunt and the media is spending all of their time covering some 100 year old fossil who said a stupid race-based comment as opposed to three young men who have had the beginning of their adult lives ripped away from them. What is wrong with this picture?
Why is the media focusing on the wrong story? Who gives a shit what Al Sharpton – one of the most public racists of our time – has to say about some over the hill radio personality who should have been put out to pasture years ago? Where is the condemnation for this girl in Durham, North Carolina who falsely accused these boys of rape?
It really is mind-blowing. And now the word is that the three boys may go after former district attorney Mike Nifong. These boys and their families each spent over $1 million proving their innocence (think about that again in a few minutes when you digest all of this). Someone needs to pay. The accuser needs to pay. The city of Durham needs to pay. The state of North Carolina needs to pay.
And for Christ’s Sake, the fucking media need to cover this outrage with as much heat as they’re covering this loser Imus.
