Some Lessons from the Duke Lacrosse Case

Posted on by

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.

This is the When the Bullshit Comes Out

Posted on by

Since Don Imus was fired last night, I thought that I would listen to terrestrial radio on my way to work today. Ugh. What a disaster regular radio has become since I’ve had my ears opened to the glorious sound of satellite radio. Anyway, I don’t want to get off topic yet.

What a load of bullshit I heard on the radio this morning. I flipped through a few channels (none of which I remember at this point) and the only good thing I came across was Sean Hannity making an appearance on the Opie and Anthony show. But Opie and Anthony needs to get off of their fucking soap box. They called Imus the most influential man in the history of radio. Good Lord! Are you kidding?!? This sorry sack stopped being funny in the early 1990’s and has been milking his position ever since then. He’s washed up. He’s MORE than washed up. He deserved to lose his job not because of his stupid comments but because he sucked and was unlistenable. Check the ratings – he was drawing in less than a million listeners on radio and television combined. That’s pathetic!

So I’m trying to listen to these two guys through the seemingly endless commercials (which, by the way, are getting more and more annoying) and they’re just lubing this Imus creep up. Listen, we all understand that you guys need to stick together so when it’s your turn to come under the microscope, you have some support. But for all that’s right – don’t go out of your way to kiss this jerk’s ass!

Now that Imus has been fired – this is when the bullshit comes out. Thank God I have endless commercial-free music on satellite radio to avoid this garbage while I drive!

Creepy Fool Gets Arrested at Monmouth University

Posted on by

My alma mater had a really gross incident occur yesterday. In case you haven’t heard, a creepy old goof ball was arrested at Monmouth University yesterday for planting a video camera in the men’s locker room. What a filthy, disgusting scumbag this jerkoff was, huh?

There are so many issues here that it’s not even easy to discuss all of them in one sitting. Why was this creepy old bastard allowed to join the gym at Monmouth University if he wasn’t an alumnus and wasn’t local to the university? For those of you that don’t know, he wasn’t from the local area.

Further, why was he allowed on campus in the first place if he had an old access card? If the guy’s sole purpose is to go to the gym because he’s a “member” and his card indicating that membership is expired…then shouldn’t he NOT be on campus?!

And what really pisses me off is the reaction that one of the students had to the entire thing:

“Doesn’t bother me,” he said. “I really don’t care.”

That pretty much sums up 99% of the students that I’ve ever met while at Monmouth University or that I’ve met since I’ve become an alumni advisor to my fraternity at Monmouth University. I deal with kids who go to school all over this state and virtually none of them would have had that completely uncaring reaction. And good Lord, if I had my way I’d take this pervert and give him a few minutes with some of those guys that he so desperately wanted to see naked.

I have no problem with the fact that this weirdo likes dudes, but I have a HUGE problem with him invading the privacy of these unsuspecting students to get off. That’s just disgusting and I hope he get what he deserves.

Don Imus is a Complete Idiot

Posted on by

Can anyone out there really believe the stupidity and arrogance of Don Imus? This stupid bastard – who by all accounts really does have an ill attitude towards people of color and women – goes about his business by calling some of the best young female athletes in New Jersey (and North America) nappy headed hos!?! What the fuck sense does that make?

First of all, the term “nappy headed” insinuates that all of the girls on the team are black – which is just untrue. Second, none of those girls have nappy hair! And third – who in their right fucking mind has the term “nappy headed” in their OWN head when looking for an adjective to describe a black person? I mean good Lord, Imus…what the hell is wrong with you?

And then to go and call a group of Rutgers female basketball players “hos” is just stupid. Seriously. If you’re looking to call some random girl a ho, then just go to the local hooker and call her what she is, but to call a group of girls who took second place in the NCAA tournament “hos” is fucking ludicrous!

Don Imus is a complete moron and a stupid scumbag of a racist. He doesn’t deserve to be on the airwaves any more and he doesn’t deserve to be a public figure any more.

NOW…

Imus is not the only asshole in this matter. Those hypocritical activists (Al Sharpton anyone?) who made it their mission to get Imus fired are just as big of a bunch of assholes as Imus is. Granted, Imus couldn’t keep his mouth shut after he apologized, but any rational thinking person needs to wonder when an “activist” becomes (for lack of a better term right now) a terrorist when they continue to terrorize a person after they apologize for saying or doing something stupid.

In other words, if you said something outlandish and sincerely apologized for it, at what point do the people asking you to apologize have to accept your apology and put their picket signs home? At what point do they say, “Ok, I accept your apology. Please be more intelligent in the future.”? Not that Imus deserved that level of respect because he’s a jerk, but it’s something that everyone needs to keep in mind…

At some point an apology has got to count. Right?

Bring Back Arrested Development!

Posted on by

The idiot at FOX who decided to cancel Arrested Development needs to be fired and shunned from the industry starting immediately. How can people NOT be in love with this show? I just got done watching a the first two seasons and I can’t believe that some asshole in some office somewhere actually said, “You know what? Cancel this show.”

What the fuck was that idiot doing?!

This is, by far, the funniest show to come across FOX TV in the last 15 years! Between Jason Bateman, Jessica Walter, Jeffrey Tambor, Will Arnett – I mean the entire cast is incredible! Sure, I understand that some people watch the show and say, “I don’t get it.” But that’s the beauty of watching the first few episodes. Once you “get it,” the show becomes one of the best things on television!

I think that my two favorite characters are Jessica Walter’s “Lucille Bluth” and Michael Cera’s “George-Michael Bluth.” They’re both hilarious because of the side remarks that they make all of the time. From Lucille’s “not for you” when walking by her extremely skinny daughter when she’s in front of food to George Michael’s constantly trying to correct whoever is talking to him while laughing through his words, it’s fucking brilliant.

And since it seems from this article that the show is as good as done with no chance of the creator coming back to series, let’s hope that at least the moron who cancelled the show get fired and shunned from the television industry.
