2 Duke players arrested on Rape Charges (update Media Barf Alert)
AP ^ | 04/18 | Tim Whitmire AP

Posted on 04/18/2006 5:47:49 PM PDT by OakOak

Well before the scandal, the nationally ranked team had a reputation for a swaggering sense of entitlement and boorish frat-boy behavior that included public intoxication and public urination. After the scandal broke, the university announced an investigation into whether it put up with such behavior for too long.

Funny how the similar antics of their saint Bubba didn't bother them so much.

Pity the next collegiate athlete (football or basketball) who gets charged (correctly or not) with anything.

Are they going to then cancel the entire football/basketball season? Investigate the team's boorish behavior pattern? Fire the coach?

If not, why not?

So the "evidence" is that college guys get drunk and do foolish things? This is getting more laughable by the minute.

Besides, I thought that the term "foolish frat boy" was exclusively reserved by the left/media for George W. Bush.

There is absolutely no reason why the identity of the second dancer has not been released. She's been on every major network and she's NOT a sexual assualt victim.

Jeff,

The D.A. is out of control. He said weeks ago that the DNA evidence would prove the boys' guilt. Now that there is absolutely no DNA evidence, what are we left to surmise about the stripper slut, that she swallowed the evidence like Monica?

Just imagine being a defendant in a case that she prosecuted. She got in trouble once for withholding evidence, but I bet that is just the tip of the iceberg.

Imagine getting her as a prosecutor in a domestic violence case.

The media is SO out-of-control it's frustrating for us that know the details and keep hearing them always misrepresenting facts in a way that benefits the poor stripper/car-jacker/cop-killer wannabe

I did read where Nancy had been sanctioned mutliple times.

You have to wonder why all the phone calls always expound on Nancy's side of the story. It's amazing what call screeners and a 9 second delay can do.

I missed Nancy Grace tonight...I hear she was something else....she doesn't even want to consider the possibility that this woman may be lying and how this may destroy the lives of these two young men.....

Yes, she had a specialist on to say that it's so hard for women to make these charges. Basically, women don't make these type of charges falsely


But, a couple years ago, 4 St. Johns Basketball players were charged with gang-rape.. The only thing that saved the players was .. she got greedy .. she was blackmailing them for their basketball careers (and pro careers).. A player wore a wire and got her on record making statements to show their was no gang-rape and if they pay enough, she won't testify - and the case will go away. The woman readily agreed to a Rape exam, too.

Other cases too.

Here's another example of Media bias.

USATODAY printed the accusations and the player's records on the front page day after day.

When the DNA results came back, the article was in the Sports section only.

Has Drama Queen Nancy ever heard of that other drama queen, Tawana Brawley?

Nice job, AP.

The Duke kids?

1. "graduates of Northern prep schools"

2. "a reputation for a swaggering sense of entitlement and boorish frat-boy behavior that included public intoxication and public urination. "

3. " products of wealthy New York City suburbs and all-male Roman Catholic prep schools."

4. " charged in Washington with assault "

The accuser?

Well she's merely a "a 27-year-old student and mother of two"
