Oh really!?
When this news first broke – I turned to my best friend and said, that didn’t happen like they are saying it did. Not because I am a psychic or I was physically there – but it was all wrong from the beginning.
First and foremost, rape is a brutal and hideous crime and no woman should be subjected to such an abuse that degrades them of their dignity.
But lets look at the smart facts of this case. A young woman, regardless of color goes to house that is having a party by a group of young drunken teenage boys – not because she was invited as a guest of the party. But as a stripper. That right their should have made everyone slam on the brakes and ask some really important questions.
But nope, Nifong was up for re-relection and the black community was up in arms and he had to do something – even if he knew it was wrong. So he proceeded without caution or concern. I wonder if he knew it would be him who was the guilty party.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying a stripper deserves to be interrogated – I am not saying that all. What I am saying is this – she was not above approach. Someone should have sat her down and asked her some questions.
When the details of her actions just hours before that incident started to emerge, someone should have definitely been asking questions.
Nifong allowed the black community with their protests get to him and since the truth came out – not a single leader of that black community has stepped up to the plate to do the right thing by these players, that’s apologize, Al Sharpton included.
Lots of people were jockeying to get their face on the television cameras to voice their outrage of this alleged crime and not a single one of those who went on camera for their 15 minutes of fame returned once the dust had settled.
Way to go community leaders(allegedly) – seems you all are real stand up types. Gald you fuckers don’t represent me!
You want to know the really sad part of all this – those three kids would not have gotten justice if this case didn’t go this way. If those kids had not been charged for the lack of evidence, the black community would have been out marching for sure. So sadly enough, they had to endure some hard times to get their justice.
If this story couldn’t get any sadder, the female who alledged the rape has not been charged to date. I would think a civil lawsuit against her would have been on the table – but chances are she doesn’t have anything anyways. I saw her father on television being interviewed when all this happened – in my view, he wasn’t sure if a crime occured from his demeanor – some parents know their kids. Needless to say, his daughter embarrassed him and the rest of the family for her poor choices.
When this mess finally came to an end – the same friend I told this was wrong said something that was perhaps true – “those kids got a taste of what it feels like to be black”. Perhaps he is right.
