Let us not forget, as the woman in the Duke rape case gets completely skewered and those boys are sitting there, wide-eyed and arrogant and with their thousand-dollar-an-hour lawyers in tow, that one woman was so scared that she ran from the house. That on her way out, witnesses heard one of the men yelling after her, "you can thank your grandpa for my nice cotton shirt." That when questioned about previous offenses, one parent's argument for their child's complete innocence was "I mean, he doesn't look guilty." Of course he doesn't. He's a rich kid armed with a thousand-dollar-an-hour lawyer.
Perhaps she was so humiliated that she lost it and overreacted--by all accounts, she was intimidated and powerless in that situation. And that situation, before you start blaming her for her occupation, amounts to being lured by easy money--a choice made by many a white-collar criminal with just better connections and more options. Or perhaps she really is crazy. Or perhaps there's some part of the case to which we are not privy.
Only those involved will know. But whatever happened, I hope all parties remember that karma is a bitch, and that it always catches up to you in the end.

stick to the vapid.
Babsie,
I completely agree with you. As usual, the white, rich boys have mommy and daddy buy their way out of trouble (or into Universities, as with our lovely President).
Karma is a nasty little bitch, indeed, and the poor, sniveling little rich boys will get theirs in the end.

You two have clearly spent too much time blogging on booze and shopping. Learn the facts . They are innocent. If you had bothered following it or watching the press conference you would have seen that one of the accused said that he was lucky to have the means to defend his name and that some do not - a true tragedy.
They are innocent of rape. They are not innocent of intimidation, of racism, of elitism--all circumstances around that night point to that.
My point is that we will never know what actually happened in there, and that karma will sort it out, as it always does.
And good that one of them did say that, but that's one of many.
And "anonymous" it would be interesting to see you put your name where your opinions are... I'm sure you have a little vapid, fashion-loving boozey floozey in you, or you wouldn't know about either of our blogs...
