Sindee: If you walk through a bad neighborhood in the middle of the night and get robbed, you’re asking for it too. Doesn’t mean the police shouldn’t prosecute the dude that held you up at gunpoint and stole your wallet.

Oh please fucking grow up you candyass!

You do not have the expectation of getting blitzed out of your mind and then expect to not have your ass fucked with…

Personally I think all of the stupid bitches who got fucked in that fashion did, in fact, ask for it because it isn’t clear what else they should have expected.

Life is tough , dangerous and will bone you up the ass if you turn your back (or get coked up) on it.

Deal with it.

Durham has no shortage of whores, none of us here are going to miss this one when she finally OD’s or ends up in prison.

I couldn’t watch the “60 Minutes” piece because I felt it was in really poor taste for those families to be on in the first place. Listen folks, nobody really wants to hear about how your precious little babies were picked on by the big bad judicial system. They hired the strippers and something went wrong in that house on that night. We may never know what it was, but something made that woman go to the police in the first place.

I wouldn’t be so proud of your little babies. A dose of humility would make y’all look a helluva lot better.

The phrase “Tried in the court of public opinion” comes to mind. I didn’t really follow this story very much just like I don’t follow any stories the media trumps up. Sure its bad if the woman got assaulted and its also just as bad if three boys are falsely accused. But none of that is anybodies business but theirs.

The legal system is suppose to decide innocence and guilt from a neutral perspective based on evidence. People have a tendency to fuck that up and the media takes it to new extremes. AFTER a court case is over and done with the media might have a role. But not before when they can influence the jury, attorney’s and judges.

Brian: Not necessarily trying to spin anything. Just pointing out that, contrary to what most media reports would have you believe, it’s entirely possible that this woman’s not lying.

My feeling is that the facts will probably vindicate the Duke lacrosse players in the end. But these facts should be coming out in a courtroom, not on CNN Headline News.

The justice system itself has also received a black eye that will taint future (real) rape victims ability to come forward.

Amen to that.

Nice touch. Very heart rendering- but you ignore too many of the kown facts to “spin” it your way. You also ignore the DA’s political agenda and his criminal acts. No matter what happens here justice will not be served. The only one likely to do prison time is the DA. He will also bear the brunt of and financial devastation from countless civil lawsuits. He will never be able to practice law again. The accusers life hopefully will turn for the better but history and human nature say otherwise. Duke University’s reputation will forever be tarnished. Tarnished not because this happened but over the way it handled the situation and allowed its Faculty to behave. The accused and their families are suffering but they will survive and be stronger for enduring this horrible lie. The justice system itself has also received a black eye that will taint future (real) rape victims ability to come forward.

Finally, somebody smart enough to see through the defense team spin. We still have yet to hear wht the hell happened that night from any of these men. The whole she went in the bathroom and painted her fingernails line is just absurd.
