[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Surprisingly, they actualy start off sanely enough but sanity is never long-lived at DU:

40. So, the Duke lacrosse players......
 what are they up to now? I suppose they are fighting the good fight against all who were wrongly accused of crimes?


I'll be post-feminist in the post-patriarchy.

41. Maybe they're leading their lives?
 Are they supposed to be comic book heroes now?

46. If they cared so deeply about victims' rights and false accusations
 which they were quite pleased to lecture everyone about, even though each of them was typically a person of privilege, I'd just be more impressed if they carried on their battle on behalf of others.

I found the entire proceeding so laced with irony. Not once during the whole thing did anyone point out that poor people, and people of color, have had to deal with this type of accusation for years. You'd think that it would have brought about a broader realization about people who are falsely accused. But it didn't.

44. Living well off the millions that Duke paid each one of them.

Colorado just paid some poor bastard $4.3 million for imprisoning him for 10 years for a murder he never committed in a very Nifong-esque case which has apparently allowed the real killer to skate free as said killer was never found after the DA decided to go after this poor bastard.

I wonder if FMD would hold the same grudge.

42. Wow, she's such a terrorist that she burns clothes in a bathtub?
 No wonder those Duke boys were pissin' in their pants!

45. She should be charged with felony arson for that alone.

49. There's just evidently no crime at all in that part of the world.
 And this terrifying woman must be the worst thing to ever come along in the history of the world there.

Wonder how often the Klan got charged with arson back there?

53. She set fire to a house where three kids were----
 I'm sure it was calm, controlled, and she was stone cold sober right?
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all. Mario Savio

50. Remind me how many surgeries her boyfriend needed to save his life.
 And the clothes burned in the tub! Won't anyone think of them?

Crime must be mighty slack in that part of the country. Out here, we have like, actual criminals, instead of boyfriend-girlfriend fights that end with clothes smoldering in a tub.

Hmmm...wonder how many Klansmen have ever served time there?

 I dunno. Ask Sen Byrd how his buddies made out.

51. Huh?
 She deserves to be in jail for as long as the Lax players would have been in jail under her false accusation. 

 Lemme buy you another:

52. She set a fire in a house where three kids were. 
 Now, you are going to tell me that it was a 'safe' fire, right, 'cause it was in the bathtub?

And that she was obviously stone cold sober (from the mugshot posted) and in complete control of herself and no danger to others......

She's lucky she didn't get tased.

Don't tase me, ho!

55. So she should get a pass because of racism?
 Fail.

They should have never been accused of doing something they didn't do.  "Priviledge" has nothing to do with it.  Did that simple thought ever enter your tiny little head?

So these young men, whose lives were turned upside down and damn near ruined due to liberal stupidity and corruption, should now take up your mantle and fight the good fight? 

Well, that kind of makes me wonder just what you are doing to carry on the "battle on behalf of others"?  What's that?  Bitching to the other DUmbasses about somebody else not doing it?

 

I found the entire proceeding so laced with irony. Not once during the whole thing did anyone point out that poor people, and people of color, have had to deal with this type of accusation for years. You'd think that it would have brought about a broader realization about people who are falsely accused. But it didn't.

Uh, no, you stupid cooze, they were too busy pointing out how the evil young white boys "of privilege" were destroying this poor, black whore.  They were too busy passing judgment before any type of investigation was done.  Afterwards, they were too busy trying to backpedal and save their worthless asses.  So, no, they really didn't have time to make a political statement to satisfy the "****ing retarded".

But, at least some good came out of it:  Libel and slander are still illegal (even when liberals say it), and another corrupt democrat was sent to the unemployment line.  I'll bet the screaming, "****ing retarded" staff at Duke thinks twice before they open their cockholsters again.
