Good to hear

... these words:-

The disgraced district attorney in the Duke lacrosse rape case apologized to the three athletes in a carefully worded statement Thursday as their lawyers weighed whether to sue him - and some legal experts say they have a case.

While prosecutors generally have immunity for what they do inside the courtroom, experts said that protection probably doesn’t cover some of Mike Nifong’s more questionable actions in his handling of the case - such as calling the lacrosse players “a bunch of hooligans” in one of several interviews deemed unethical by the state bar.

“I think their chances of success suing Mr. Nifong are reasonably good, despite what we call prosecutorial immunity,” said John Banzhaf, a professor at the George Washington University School of Law.

On Wednesday, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper threw out the case against the three young men, pronounced them innocent and delivered a withering attack on Nifong, portraying him as a “rogue” prosecutor guilty of “overreaching.” Cooper said Nifong rushed the case, failed to verify the accuser’s allegations and pressed on despite the warning signs.

In his first comment on that decision, Nifong said in a statement Thursday: “To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three students that were wrongly accused.”

He issued what appeared to be a plea to the students not to take any further action, saying, “It is my sincere desire that the actions of Attorney General Cooper will serve to remedy any remaining injury that has resulted from these cases.”

So far, attorneys for David Evans, Reade Seligmann, and Collin Finnerty have not said whether they plan a civil action against Nifong. But they have not ruled it out.

After suing Nifong, here’s a bunch of other names that the youths’ lawyers should take a hard look at:

Sailer on his website has a link to an article on the Duke case from “The Rocky Mountain News.”  Readers’ comments follow the article, and I would like to highlight one below, from a self-described “conservative evangelical.”  Note that the “Katrina” being referred to, and with whom this letter writer agrees, was a self-described white woman criticizing wealthy racist drunken white ‘fratboys’ on university campuses.  Thus, our Christian red state conservative letter writer agrees that the main lesson of the Duke case was that of drunken white racist privelage.  Note also his characterization of the stripper as “a mother, a daughter, a sister, a Child of God, a sinner like you and me.”

Hey, now.  Don’t get worked up over the Carr brothers in Wichita, nor the latest outrage in Knoxville.  All the Negroes in question are “Children of God”, and, although they are sinners, they are no different from “you and me.”

He also refers to the hoaxer as follows: “and pray that this young woman’s nightmare lessens.”  Indeed, it is the Christian way, the godly way, to pray for this “Child of God”, so that her “nightmare” lessens.  While you’re at it, how about contacting the “Christian Children’s Fund” and spend your hard earned money “sponsoring” some Third Worlder?”  That’s a “Child of God”, and literally a child too!

The Christinsanity mindset in a nutshell:

“I’m with Katrina. What a tangled web of personal and group behaviour of which this is a display. Being a WASP Southern Man of the Univ of TN, I know who I am and who these boys are. The lust and disdain for their probably decent upbringing displayed by a group of man/boys in paying strippers to come to a drunken “orgy” of loosened inhibitions is OBVIOUS but no one speaks to that. THAT woman is just that, a woman. Definitely a stripper, perhaps a prostitute, but also a mother, a daughter, a sister, a Child of God, a sinner like you and me. The legal and responsible party was the DA who will pay for his professional and personal failures. Lacrosse teams represent the University too and paying strippers with Momma and Daddy’s money to come entertain our “finest” was in retrospect pretty crummy, too.

Cast your stones, castigate the critics, but when you pound your chest and Thank God for the Victory of the Righteous Right ... I’ll thank God for my seat in the back and pray that this young woman’s nightmare lessens and that these young men can go on and their golden futures will retain their shine.

Otherwise, Amen, Katrina. Give me a break and look to your own, folks.

As a Note: I am Conservative and would place myself as an Evangelical. I’ve done more in my life than I’m proud of… or GOT CAUGHT FOR! I hope to do better in the future.

Well, I have no doubt that there are 3 more converts to the movement.  3 more young whites who now know the score.  Welcome aboard, Gentlemen.

Here‘s the link to the Sailer entry mentioned in “americaisdead’s” comment.

Here‘s Mangan:

Ex-Duke

The NY Times headline says “Ex-Duke Players Await an Announcement”. Apparently all charges are to be dropped.

Headline I’d like to see: “Duke University soon to be ex-Duke.”  If those lacrosse players don’t hire the nation’s best litigators and sue Duke into submission, well, they’d be foolish not to. Anyway, since Duke was built with cigarette money, that probably means it has no right to exist anyway. The endowment must be huge, and with half the faculty, including the president, having publicly pronounced the players guilty, I think they’ve got some splainin’ to do.

These three lacrosse players should sue everybody for as much as they can, including Duke University as an institution and any of its administrators and professors they can sue personally, and also Nifong personally for every penny he has.  They should make Mike Nifong rue the day he was born.  He fully intended to ruin their lives for a crime they didn’t commit (and in the process get them gang-raped by prison Negroes and infected with AIDS, exactly what would’ve happened had these white teenagers been sent to prison for “raping a Negro woman”).  Nifong was going to do that to them, to these young kids.  Getting the weapon out of Nifong’s hands isn’t enough.  It should now be turned on him.

A HATE CRIME HOAX AT BOTTOM

The Nifong/Stripper conspiracy to violate the civil rights of three young college students is exactly equivalent to a hate crime hoax with a federal felony conspiracy charge as well.

Our position in Resisting Defamation is that persons who commit hate crime hoaxes are guilty of defaming every European American man, woman, and child, and deserve punishment to the full extent of the law that would have punished the three college students. That is, Nifong/Sripper are hate crime hoaxers, and deserve hate crime sentences.

The Stripper is already more or less excused based on claims about her mental state, but she and Nifong should be punished exactly as the three college students would have been punished had they been convicted.

===========

On another note, organized anti-white left-wing racialists showed us another aspect of their power. They were able to time the Imus scandal to break open the same day the Nifong/Stripper case collapsed. I’m not ordinarily conspiracy-minded, but it remains true that Imus could have been picked off almost every week for the past five years for bizarre, vicious statements, many of them against young and old European Americans. To bring the anti-Imus scandal to a boil the same day Nifong/Stripper were exposed as liars and cheats took bold, yet delicate, planning.

We know that organized left-wing racialists took similar action a few years ago, raising funds to buy off a white (Jewish) teacher’s law suit in New Jersey. The teacher was all set to win a US Supreme Court ruling on the facts of her case which would have upset left-wing racialists all over America, as well as several anti-white statutes. The organized left-wing racialists simply raised thousands and thousands of dollars and bought her off. She settled the case outside court, and no new reform happened.

So it is not pure speculation that media manipulation could have resulted in the quicky lynching of Imus to knock the news story about the innocent Duke Three off the front page.

Some choice quotes from Terry Moran of ABC’s Nightline:

DON’T FEEL TOO SORRY FOR THE DUKIES

...But perhaps the outpouring of sympathy for Reade Seligman, Collin Finnerty and David Evans is just a bit misplaced. They got special treatment in the justice system—both negative and positive. The conduct of the lacrosse team of which they were members was not admirable on the night of the incident, to say the least. And there are so many other victims of prosecutorial misconduct in this country who never get the high-priced legal representation and the high-profile, high-minded vindication that it strikes me as just a bit unseemly to heap praise and sympathy on these particular men.

Their team specifically requested at least one white stripper.

During the incident, racial epithets were hurled at the strippers.

As students of Duke University or other elite institutions, these young men will get on with their privileged lives. There is a very large cushion under them…

And, MOST IMPORTANT, there are many, many cases of prosecutorial misconduct across our country every year.  The media covers few, if any, of these cases. Most of the victims in these cases are poor or minority Americans—or both. I would hate to say the color of their skin is one reason journalists do not focus on these victims of injustices perpetrated by police and prosecutors, but I am afraid if we ask ourselves the question honestly, we would likely find that it is
