Yes. Each of the racist incompetent “professors” who were so eager to win points with the race-hucksters and the man-haters should be sued. They are all guilty of malicious libel and slander and should spend the rest of their lives paying 60% of their salary to the innocent men.
You’re free to hold your opinion.
These professors will be sued for what they did, you can bet on it. It did effect the lives of those kids and they will face consequences. I’m just being realistic.
As for Nifong, you can stick a fork in him. He will have everything taken from him for trying to destroy innocent kids. His law career is over even if he can reapply to get his license back after a certain amount of time. No law firm would touch him now.
I suppose he can go practice in Haiti.
“Defend me or get neckalced!”
As taught on today’s college campus, art and history are worse than worthless. They provide the victim justification that enables each student to blame there own shortcomings, inadequacies and severe character flaws on someone else. It is insidiously woven throughout the liberal art curriculum.
That’s such a huge generalization that I would have expected it to have come from a liberal.
Too bad the media can’t get theirs as well for their part in this fiasco.
It is no more a generalization than saying engineering students learn mathematics. Liberal arts students learn about the “evils” of our society. Check the books they are using and what the profs spout - “generally”, that’s what they teach.
Watching Nifong’s face yesterday was priceless. Too bad we can’t see the same thing happen to Hitlery or Teddie the Swimmer.
please let this be true.
Nancy Grace is actually Henry Waxman?
I read it carefully too. I believe the ad clearly implies that the young men are guilty of rape. If that is a false allegation, it is libel per se. It isn't necessary that the accused young men be listed by name. We know who the ad is about.
The ad does have a short disclaimer: "If they are guilty, I want them expelled." But the rest of the letter dismisses that disclaimer like the insubstantial fig leaf that it is.
It's debatable whether the young men were public figures according to the legal definition of the term when the libel was published. The first amendment protections accorded to speech directed at public figures might not be there in this case.
That doesn't mean a lawsuit would be easy to prosecute and win. And even if the young men were to win, collection on a judgment might be nearly impossible.
Well, that's my point, what did they do? Did they slander or liable these boys?
If the answer is no, what charges will they be sued for?
All I'm pointing out is I don't see any statement other than a liberal orthodoxic
view about "racism" in this ad.
Point out exactly what you think is wrong...
I read the ad. I don’t see anything about the guilt or innocence of the individuals charged. All I see is some quotes about racism on campus, endorsed by some faculty and academic departments.
The lawyers will have to prove that the individuals charged were damaged by the ad. It may be difficult.
I think the suspension and/or dismissal of the students and coach by the college stand a better chance of yielding funds.
The content itself may not say anything specific regarding the individual players.
That said, everyone knew exactly who and what was being referenced. It wasn’t like the ad was taken out just on a whim. It was a direct reference to those boys.
They can face accountability - something that is obviously foreign to their little minds.
(Yes, I do know that God happens to FReep on a regular basis)
- So does He ever respond? ;-)
That picture is revolting and appropriate at the same time.
It was akin to screaming fire in a crowded theatre.
Sue ‘em all — let the Supremes sort ‘em out!
Yeah, so? At the very least they should apologise, however there is nothing that I can see this ad is civilly liable for.
The accountability these 88 should face is either a good shunning, or Duke should demand they apologize.
I read it carefully too. I believe the ad clearly implies that the young men are guilty of rape.
Don’t forget that some of their professors gave the accused young men bad grades influenced by the ‘perception’ of guilt and other adverse actions. That would certainly be actionable.
For once I’ll be rooting for the plaintiffs....
