Oh Lordy, Here We Go

...Nifong's vow, however, did not satisfy angry community members in the audience. Mostly African-Americans, they asked why he had not taken harsher actions against the accused Duke players.

The alleged victim is black and a student at North Carolina Central University, a historically black college. The lacrosse team members accused of the sexual assault are white.

"Why weren't they arrested?" one member of the audience asked. "Why haven't these records been made public? Is there a double standard of justice and law?"

...However, one woman wondered why Duke University's doctors had been allowed to examine the alleged victim and suggested that they could have disposed of incriminating evidence.

"Why is Duke Medical Center allowed to investigate, to check this female?" the woman asked. "This is a conflict of interest. I believe info has been tampered with."


It's always a conspiracy.

Of course! He's a white guy.

I love the part where they point out she identified one of the idiots at a line-up. Duh ~ how hard was that, since they didn't jump out from behind a bush ~ they HIRED her. I would hope she had at least a couple minute attention span in that instance. So WTF did mentioning that prove, other than to inflame the conspiracy freaks?
