The alleged rape incident that has smeared the Duke lacrosse team is, in no other words, a media lynching of white and privileged young males.??To top it off it smacks of hypocrisy of a Durham District Attorney, Mike Nifong, who is pushing forward on a race baiting case that has absolutely zero chance of landing a conviction let alone even going to a jury trial to begin with.??Why???Because Durham County has a substantial black vote and he?s up for re-election this year.
Now without getting into too much detail the following is known:
1. A black female college student working as a part time stripper alleges she was raped.??She was intoxicated, photographs show injuries before the alleged attack took place, she was shown smiling as she left the gathering she was paid to work and then passed out in the car before she was driven away.
2. The attackers were supposed to be white male Duke lacrosse players.??Every single white player submitted to DNA testing, 43 of the 44 team members the 44th being black, without court order and on a voluntary basis.??The DNA gathered from the alleged rape victim did not turn out to match any one of the tested players.??D.A. doesn?t care, case moves forward.
3. One of the now indicted Duke players has a seemingly airtight alibi that a 2nd year law student could take to a jury and win acquittal.??The evidence includes the following; a cell phone log placing him elsewhere from the time of the supposed incident, a cab dispatch call, eyewitness testimony from a cab driver, ATM receipt stamped with a time of withdraw placing him away from the incident, a drive through window witness that sold them a meal on the way home and lastly a time entry log from his student ID admitting him into his dorm.
Yet none of these things matter to the media that has all but pronounced horrible white racism of the worst kind against a single, black, drunk, college student and mother of two.??Let this sink in to why this becomes a great big deal.
Kids from prosperous white families at one of the highest echelon establishment schools in the nation ?raping? a poor, single, black, female, college student and mother of two. How can the race baiting bootlicking liberal media not love a tale like this???Forget the potential of pre-trial motions dismissing the matter in its entirety is extremely likely.??Damn, it?s the seriousness of the charge!
The evidence known in the pre-indictment hype would probably sway the O.J. jury into pronouncing a decision in favor of the white defendants.??Of course this doesn?t matter, there?s a D.A. that has a grand jury that returns 99% of sought after indictments, forget what might happen in the outcome if he can appear to stand up for blacks against rich whites he?s re-elected, likely for as many terms as he wants the job.
Now for those of you not familiar with how Al Sharpton found his way onto the national media stage, yes, there was a time he was unknown, it was the Tawanna Brawley case.??Well, there was no case.??A teenage black girl ran away from home.??Terrified of family reprisal she made up a story where she was kidnapped and raped by white police officers in New York who smeared her with dog excrement and carved racist slurs into her body.??The incident led to absolutely nothing except pages of lies, the introduction of the Right Reverend Al Sharpton (Who I ironically love to listen to and think is a decent man at heart but screwed up beyond belief politically speaking.) to the national stage and a synonym that could be forever tied to false white on black crime allegations.??
This is one of those times.
It?s a sad commentary when a case that wouldn?t be compelling enough for one writer?s meeting of CSI: Moosejaw is national fodder.??Of course the talking legal heads like Nancy Grace and Greta Van Susteren would have to find a far less sensational case to fill up 22 hours of airtime for the next 30 days and that just ain?t fair to them in their profession.??It?s the seriousness of the charge, not the pre-ponderence of overwhelming evidence of innocence. Rich white boys raping single black moms struggling to make their way through school equals ratings.
Now don?t take this as excusing a bunch of drunk, spoiled rich white kids thinking every weekend at Duke needs to be like a Girls Gone Wild DVD.??I?m sure I?d despise every single one of these players if I were still of college age.??The frat boy mentality was anathema to me.??However just because I don?t think I?d spend afternoons on the couch playing Madden with these jackasses doesn?t mean I can?t see through the obviousness of the case.??Money, ratings, camera time, politics and race baiting, nothing more, nothing less, motivate it.
To deny that the circus in front of you is not a circus and instead a serious legal matter just makes you blind, oh, and probably racist, classist and envious as well.
What happens to these two kids when acquitted???They?ve been expelled from a school that?s over $40,000 a year with room and board.??Will the D.A.?s office pay for a lost semester if this never goes to trial? They are forever googled to an event and will always have suspicion working against them for the next 20 years. Reporters besiege their families; unaccused players have been forced to maintain legal counsel for a variety of reasons.
It?s sick, just sick.??It?s out of control political prosecution at it?s absolute worst.??You are likely to hear the names Mike Nifong and Ronnie Earle used a lot together in the next coming political attraction; prosecutorial reform.
Bank on that one skippy but don?t expect the media or liberals to give a damn about either.??It only mattered when it was about a blowjob and a liberal President.??When it?s rich white kids or powerful Republicans the media would rather crucify them than acknowledge the obvious truths.
