Withholding exculpatory evidence, lying to a judge, railroading 3 innocent men (even white ones) is immoral, unethical and illegal.<BR/><BR/>The 3 young men did nothing illegal. The drunk, drugged-out hooker who falsely-accused 3 innocent men committed at least 2 crimes and IMO tried to commit a third (extortion). Nifong committed massive ethics violations and likely committed crimes. The victims are the LAX 3 and the perps are CGM, Nifong, the potbangers, the G88, et al. <BR/><BR/>College kids drink beer and do dumb stuff - that's what college is for.

This is the type of exploitation of the "poor and willing" (by all involved-including the young lady who was taking her clothes off or whatever she was doing) that further perpetuates a sense of invincibility and a "have fun at any cost" mentality that exists among college students across this country. <BR/><BR/>Regardless Mr. Nifong's fate, the coach in this case should have been dismissed and should not have a cause for legal action. Regardless of whether he was on campus or off campus, he is an authority figure over these students and should not have even been involved...yet he chose to "correspond with" and give "underhanded" advice to the students before and after the incident. In my opinion, he should start applying at McDonald's because he shouldn't get into any legitimate university in this country. He should have thought about that before he even left home to go to the party. Whatever "lifestyle" he was used to will be no more...and it's his fault.<BR/><BR/>In terms of the lacrosse players, they are not entirely "innocent victims" here. Let's run through the list:<BR/><BR/>1. They solicited a stripper to "entertain" them...or whatever they paid for.<BR/><BR/>2. The Lacrosse team, and I'm sure it's not limited to that sport, had a "history of problems stemming from alcohol." They are alcoholics in the making.<BR/><BR/>3. One of the players referred to the strippers as "B*ITCHES" and wanted to "skin" them. <BR/><BR/>4. After all of this came out in the open, everyone "suddendly" realized that this was wrong and stupid. These were honor students; they were not the typical stupid jocks you find on "Animal House" and the like. My instincts and knowledge of similar incidents while in college, tell me that this wasn't the first "party" the team had under their belt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-28877757700072333242007-06-19T00:20:00.000-04:002007-06-19T00:20:00.000-04:00Let's keep in mind just how much Nifong pounced on...Let's keep in mind just how much Nifong pounced on this situation and exploited it.

And to sit on the stand and say he still thinks something happened. How can this sick man think anyone would accept him staying in office for another second.<BR/><BR/>He needs to be out of office yesterday....and he needs to spend a long time behind bars.<BR/><BR/>One more thing....Crystal Mangum needs to have her children protected from her.

Hopefully more will come. At this point, Fongster deserves zero mercy. None. Nada. Kindness to the cruel is cruelty to the kind. <BR/><BR/>Looking back on all of this, it is amazing that he thought he could get away with it. Likely what happened was that he never could figure out how to jump off the tiger. But really, everyone knew the wheels were off this case once Newsweek got involved. And then the attempt to keep the case going by dropping the rape charges . . . . was he kidding? Hard to believe. <BR/><BR/>What's great is that the Fongster has a lot more pain in front of him. He will have to deal with contempt proceedings. He will then have to deal with civil depositions, and guess what, Lane Williamson was easy compared to that. And on top of all of that there is the possibility of a federal investigation. <BR/><BR/>Ha ha ha ha ha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-44879711878062512162007-06-18T23:51:00.000-04:002007-06-18T23:51:00.000-04:00Please allow me, an English teacher, to clarify a ...Please allow me, an English teacher, to clarify a few terms:<BR/><BR/>Pity is not the same as sympathy or empathy. I feel pity for Nifong because his own flawed nature, greed and ambition, led him down a path of self-destruction. <BR/><BR/>I feel sympathy for the LAX players and empathy for their parents.<BR/><BR/>Some may truly feel schadenfreude, but I doubt it. Schadenfredue is "taking pleasure the in the misfortunes of others." Those who were whooping it up when the LAX players were indicted even when there were serious questions were guilty of schadenfredue.<BR/><BR/>The joy most of us feel at this point is vindication that true justice is being meted out at last, and that's noble.<BR/><BR/>As for the judge, I think he thought Nifong would be out this week. He was blindsided by the July 13 thing, too, I'd bet.<BR/><BR/>gotcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-53721209638093995412007-06-18T23:39:00.000-04:002007-06-18T23:39:00.000-04:00My guess is that Cy agrees with the metanarative b...My guess is that Cy agrees with the metanarative being spouted by the gang of 88.
