snipet:
"The second dancer in the Duke lacrosse case told police early on that allegations of rape were a "crock" and that she was with the accuser the entire evening except for a period of less than five minutes."

possibly the most "damning" thing i've seen to say it's all bullshit -- why would the second stripper/dancer say a crock of shit if it wasn't?

granted, perhaps they were seperated.. but still.

it doesn't matter.. thanks to the media -- those kids (anyone on the team) is branded for a hell of a long time. i wonder how many friendships lost.. relationships ended.. and all that crap this has caused.

that's the trouble with the media -- once they tell a story.. it's told. you can't take it back. you can fix it.

i doubt much will happen in the way of constant reporting on this.. i imagine a lot of folks won't ever hear this..

i imagine a lot of folks will think "oh the white boys must have got off cause they were white" or whatever.

this.. is why i don't like people in general.

news should be come news when it's a factual. until then.. they should be reporting things just as a rumor.. or something to clearly say -- we are making shit up right now.. because we arn't sure what the truth is.

everyone was all for, basically, lynching the kids.. slapping them all into the sexual offender database for life -- what's their recourse? what happens to her? what she did, going with the above statement that it is a crock of shit, is just as bad -- if not worse.

how many lifes as she fucked up?

i've no idea what happened.. i just don't think it should be national news until people DO actaully know what happened. if lives are to be ruined, it should be based on fact, nothing less.
