Duke University

IP:

This situation is heating up. I don't know if the lack of arrests or punishment is racially motivated, but something is definitely being covered up. If Duke doesn't punish someone, they'll have to deal with Civil Right's activists pretty damn soon.


The brother of the alleged victim said something that really stuck with me during their town hall meeting. He said, "The media has only portrayed my sister as a stripper. They have de-humanized her."

^^So true...

well I can agree that her being a stripper that doesn't mean she deserves to get raped...and I see how constantly saying she was a stripper would make pepole think she was "asking" to get raped or something so I understand why he made that comment...but isn't that what she does, why she was there?...

Yeah this been on the Headline News station for like 2 weeks as far as I know... The LaCrosse team is suspicious (how everybody carries on like it's not an issue right now), and then people quick to point the blame on the victim by saying she's a stripper. So what? That don't excuse the email that was sent saying, that one of the guys involved in the incident was going to ask for a black stripper and remove the skin off of her and kill her... what kinda ish is that? After I saw that on Headline News I just turned it off. That don't make no sense that they found an email, but yet they have NOT one person charged yet or a main suspect? That's messed up. It's a racial and rape issue.

I'm mad this one dude says something like they don't know if it was sex with her consent. Come on, you hear about a dude wanting to kill a black chick and think that she'd just lie on the bed and get injuries from too much pleasure?! Just because she a stripper doesn't mean that she want to have sex with everybody on the Lacrosse team. It's crazy and the coach even resigns. What kinda stuff is that? I wonder does he know what happened or is he really protecting his reputation.

he could be protecting his reputation or not want to be involved in their obvious cover-up...Lacrrosse? it's prolly a bunch of silver-spoon rich white bois who's parents can afford to buy this crime right off the table...I hadn't heard about the e-mail thing but that right there makes me angry...if it was a bunch of black guys on the basketball team that did this to a white girl and had an e-mail like that sent out, they'd have ALL been arrested and long been in jail by now...anyone that denies that is living in a dream world

cmon now, lets be serious, you really think local cops are gonna bust college kids for raping a black girl and shame one of the biggest universities in the nation?

no chance.

Dosen't make a difference that she has injuries concurrent to rape exactly how she's describing, and multiple members of the team are quoted by witnesses to saying they were going to do something vile to a stripper at the party that night!! AND YOUR COACH RESIGNS!!!


That shit ain't gonna go nowhere. be real.

^^Yea...but you know he's gonna have his face all up on TV sooner than later.


For real though, all Orpah has to do is say, "What they're doing at Duke is wrong," and the entire face of the investigation will change.

woman has power

Nah see...that's where you got me wrong...Duke won't budge, PUBLIC OPINION will. Remember when Oprah said something supposedly negative about beef when mad cow was at its apex (no pun) and sales of beef plummeted? Then, those good ole boys sued her and lost! Well, she has this ability to sway public opinion on things. I'm saying that if the investigation becomes stagnant, all she has to do is make the statement, "Duke University is wrong" and people will listen. Don't underestimate the power of Oprah.

bro Public Opinion dosen't bring evidence, Public Opinion can't repair destroyed dna samples, Public Opinion dosen't stand up in a court room.

THAT'S why Oprah...or ANYBODY...would be powerless.

Nah son...public opinion has EVERYTHING to do with this case...If Duke or the attorneys for the accused can make the victim out to be a liar, just a greedy "stripper", and unstable, then it damages the credibility of her case. We all know that justice is not blind. It's supposed to be. But, unless someone lives under a rock, the media plays a huge role in the outcomes of trials. I'm saying that with enough pressure, Duke will punish someone. And, Oprah, along with other Civil Right's activists, could really pressure DUke to ante up.

Bringing a Jury like that would be considered "tainted" and would be grounds for a mistrial and add to that, the prosecutino would never let jury selection go down that way.
Public Opinion is irrelevant in cases. Real evidence about someones character comes up in court, not on TV. In court, the "contained" jurors may find out that she's some big-heart who just happens to strip for money for some great reason which nullifies anything the defense could say about her character simply because she strips.

Just cuz she strips her self of her clothes dosen't mean she strips her self of her rights. Dosen't mean she's not a human being.


Public opinion (as in mass opinion) holds no weight at all in court. Look how many people were painted to believe that MJ molested kids since that's the picture they paint in the media, yet he walked a free man due to uncorroborated stories and "beyond a reasonable doubt".

Court's the place where outside opinions really hold no weight. take it from me, I've been to court more times than I can possibly count.
