Media eat up absurd rape story
    #5861455 - 07/15/06 10:54 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I called it back in April.

When a black stripper claimed three white Duke University lacrosse players gang-raped her at a party, I knew instinctively it was a lie. The tale reeked of Tawana Brawley-like fabrications. At 15, Brawley claimed that six white men abducted and raped her, smeared her with feces and wrote racial epithets on her body. The media loved it.

It turned out that Brawley lied to get out of trouble for skipping school to see a jailbird ex-boyfriend. The media glommed on to the Duke rape story in a similar man-bites-dog fashion. Since news accounts of black-on-white crimes are rather commonplace, journalists jumped at the chance to exploit a fresh angle.

A story about an oppressed black woman—forced to take off her clothes in front of strange men in order to feed her children—raped and beaten by three drunken, privileged, lacrosse-playing “white boys” stirred the smoldering embers of race and class envy. Add to this volatile mixture a pandering white liberal prosecutor up for re-election against a black candidate in a heavily black city, and you’ve got the Most Absurd Rape Story of the Year.

As more evidence leaks out, it seems that my gut reaction was spot on. In the early stages of the Duke rape investigation, Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong couldn’t keep his opinions to himself, talking to the media, holding race-pandering sessions at a black college and all but guaranteeing the DNA evidence would prove the rape allegations. When the tests failed to link any of the 46 men to the stripper-accuser, Nifong finally did what he should have done in the first place: kept his mouth shut.

Now we learn that Nifong had loads of exculpatory evidence. According to a defense motion filed last week , the stripper-accuser couldn’t get her story straight. Sgt. J. C. Shelton, who responded to Kim “Second Stripper” Roberts’s 911 call, took the stripper-accuser to a mental health facility where she first made the rape claim. At Duke University Medical Center, she changed her mind and decided she hadn’t been raped after all. A few minutes later she told a nurse she’d been raped.

The defense contends that contrary to information contained in a probable cause affidavit by Durham Police Investigator Benjamin Himan, the medical exam showed no signs of rape. The stripper-accuser told the examining nurse she hadn’t been choked and that no condoms, fingers or foreign objects were used during the alleged rape. The nurse noted that her arms, legs, head, neck, etc., were normal.

Whether the stripper-accuser was actually drunk that night is also in dispute, although she told a nurse she had one drink and was taking a muscle relaxer. She told a doctor she hadn’t been drinking or taking drugs, but the next day at the University of North Carolina Hospital, she said she had “a lot of alcohol that night.”

The defense motion includes handwritten statements by Kim Roberts (going by the name “Pittman”) and a man named Jarriel Johnson, who claimed to be the stripper-accuser’s driver. Johnson said he’d had sex with her a week before the party and had driven her to several “appointments” at hotels days before the incident.

To top it off, Roberts told Himan the rape allegations were a “crock” and that she’d been with the accuser the entire time except for a five minute period when she wouldn’t leave the party. Even more strange, the accuser claimed that Roberts assisted in the assault and stole her money.

Naturally, Nifong has “no comment.”

Despite the weakening foundation of his “rape case,” Nifong will move forward at least through the end of the year unless a judge stops him. Although he faced no Republican challenger in the May primary, one could spring up just in time for the November election. He’s not taking any chances with his career.

But he has no problem gambling with the lives of three men whose innocence becomes more apparent each day. Meanwhile, Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, all indicted on charges of first degree rape, sexual offense and kidnapping, hang in limbo as this bizarre drama plays out.

There are still some who say, “But none of this means the woman wasn’t raped.” That is true. Either the stripper-accuser is lying or all three players are lying. At this point I think it’s wise to trust the evidence.

And your instincts.

Not to mention the fact that when a white girl gets raped by a gang of negros, it doesn't make the news at all. If it happens to be one hten ews, you know they won't say the race of the rapists.

It seemed like a big deal when Kobe Bryant "raped" that white female. That sure caught the press.

Rapes happen thousands of times a day, their is no way to pay national media attention to them at all, most police investigations rarely leak cases to the media, they usually become circuses when they do.

But, again, for some reason the Media Masters decided to throw the story of a BLACK woman being "raped" onto the top of the news pile, front story for all, and of a white girl being raped by negro scum to the side. Seems that it almost always happens that way.

I dont think i really buy the claim of bias in rape reporting(even tho i dont watch the msm news anymore so i wouldnt really know) but guys, it was KOBE fucking BRYANT. It wasn't Sherman Hemsley. It was KOBE fucking BRYANT. That is a weak argument if i ever saw one.

Just like the suspects at Duke were part of one of the best Lacrosse teams attending one of the most prestigious (academically and athletically) in the entire NCAA. That seems like a big deal to me as well.

That seems to me to be an utterly absurd statement, indicative of some underlying prejudice.

Duke Lacrosse players........Kobe Bryant..............Duke Lacrosse players..........Kobe Bryant..........Chewbacca

I'm gonna disagre, the lacrosse players story was national news worthy, especially for the crappy msm national news, but it didn't deserve as much air time as it got, certainly not after it became fairly clear the charge wouldn't hold up in court. I hate the msm news though.

I did not immediately dismiss the allegations. It took about a week. I could easily envision a scenario where priveleged (Kennedy) people would think they could get away with murder (Skakel) or rape (William Kennedy Smith). Except these weren't rich kids at all.

Nifong's disgraceful behaviour in this case is truly deserving of investigation. The facts were that he was in the middle of a re-election campaign and he represented the people in a community largely black and poor to lower middle class that harbored a great deal of resentment for the bastion of white privilege in it's midst. That he went ahead with the indictments and was constantly on TV was 100% a ploy to garner votes. He knowingly brought forth false indictments to get votes.

That is clearly my opinion and I do not have any evidence, but I make that allegation, which is far stronger than his against the players, and demand an investigation by the state Law Association, or whoever is the appropriate censuring (perhaps the State Atty General for criminal cases). I want the investigators to look into what Nifong knew about exculpatory facts and when he knew them, as well as any evidence of the accuser's lack of credibility, such as her conflicting statements to police as well as her partner's statements. Nifong should be impeached, disbarred, and arrested. He is the lowest of the low.

And I want to see it on the news constantly now, until the players are as publicly exonerated as the were accused and Nifong is imprisoned.

I don't think the race of the apparent victim had anything to do with the velocity of the story. Had a white woman accused the same Duke lacrosse players of rape, the media still would have jumped on it because it involved a high profile college and athletic team.

Without anything other than an opinion, and my observations over time, I disagree.

I feel the races of the parties involved are the sole driving force at play here.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

What you fail to realize is that there would have been no investigation and no indictment, and hence no story, if the DA, up for re-election in a black district that hates the university, had not been such a craven vote whore that he brought spurious charges. The only crime committed here was by the DA. And I want to see his nuts in a vise.

While this is only my opinion, I disagree. I think the DA brought the charges after the velocity of the allegation itself, which was picked up by the national media because of its already high profile nature (a criminal allegation against several athletes at a prominent college)

Do you honestly believe that, given the demographic of his electorate, he would have brought this case so weakly and so quickly if he wasn't in an election?

The idea that a DA can possibly get political gain from prosecuting someone is absurd to me. That's just my opinion.
