#1 According to Newsweek, the young man at NCCU said that he wanted to see the Duke students prosecuted, "whether it happened or not. It would be justice for things that happened in the past."

Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the 'reparations' crowd are directly responsible for this attitude. If you want a race war, this is definitely the way to go.

#2 The race baiting industry is indeed partially responsible but the real fault lies both with those on the political left who never met a minority who wasn't a victim in need of compensation and with all of us for failing to say, "Enough!" and put a stop to this nonsense.

#3 Trial put off for a year? I don't know North Carolina law at all, but isn't there a way for the defense to force the trial to start? Justice delayed is justice denied.

#4 Gotta wait 'til after the fall elections, Steve. When the DA is safely reelected, the charges can be quietly dropped.

#5 So much for the right to a speedy trial.....

(Or to innocence until proven guilty for that matter...)

#6 IMHO - this is a bad choice (2 black strippers with criminal records and diminished capacity) a POS lying self-interested Prosecutor facing a reelection, and a bored MSM. Could eventually lead to racial inflamed wars... Thks DA Nifong, asshole

#7 This is out of Nifong's hands.

One of those three young men comes from a family sufficiently well off to finance a lawsuit on behalf of the entire team and the former coach against Nifong, personally and officially, the city of Derm and Duke University for denial of civil rights, malicious prosecution and defamation with damages based on the impact on the earnings of 30 Duke grads over the next 40 years.

If Nifong doesn't bring the case, you only need to file the suit in the Federal District Court of the kid from New Hampshire and start negotiating with the insurance companies. Derm will be the big loser, but they deserve it if they want to let Nifong play these racist games.

#8 I'm about 3 hours from Durham.

The news said that the accuser is former navy but she did not serve her full enlistment. She *claims* she got thrown out of the navy for getting pregnant - my bullshit meter immediately spiked. If one digs deeper I've got a "country boy special breakfast" that says she was thrown out either for psych or medical incapabilities or some other gold brick shit. I've never heard of any females in recent history being asked to leave the mil for having kids out of wedlock. If that we're the case then about 10% of the Marine females I know would've been asked to leave years ago. If I were the defense attorney for these guys I'd be digging up her mil record - I bet it's full of *irregularities*.

#9 she's made similar accusations in teh past. Nifong should be recalled and charged with misuse of funds for re-election. She's a liar and he's inflamed racial tensions for his own beefit. Remove his BAR license.
