What’s unusual is not that the FOP would endorse the DA; but that the FBI, which send three agents to investigate some cross-burnings in Durham one night in 2005 (never solved, AFAIK), will not send one agent to investigate a group of six off-duty Durham police officers beating a black cook, while a good many other Durham and Raleigh cops looked on without interfering (i.e., “Rodney King South”).

Just click on “endorsements” in the left-hand column and a window will pop up and then click on the FOP logo and the second endorsement down is Mangum.

I found it. I didn’t realize it was a pop-up window, which I hate. I found the page with the URL. I just e-mailed the FOP to find out. – Admin

Here’s the quote:

“I personally and professionally support Mike Nifong for District Attorney. I have known Mike my entire law enforcement career and know him to be an honest individual with impeccable integrity. His lengthy career with the District Attorney’s Office demonstrates his commitment and dedication to the citizens of Durham. As a lifelong resident of Durham I want the best for our citizens and Mike Nifong is the best candidate for District Attorney.

Sounds to me like No One’s on first, But Anyone can play third. Abbott and Costello would have had fun…..

and Re: Joan’s at 50 –

I agree with Tate. Good satire. I especially liked the “police line up” with McGruff the Crime Dog included.

My morning two cents.

Thanks for the “liestoppers” link. That was great reading, and it was very well written.

Funny satire, indeed! Please let us know when the bumper stickers are available. I would like to buy one…

Ask for “Tillie.”

I am not assuming they are three prize males.

It’s stupid and meets no known profile even if they are not 3 “prize males” but 3 males who are into rape. Even if I wanted to, I doubt I could talk three convicted rapists into committing such a short rape in front of others – and they would most likely want a different victim.

If you care, somewhere on a previous thread, I explained briefly how feminist surveys inflate the number of sex crimes.

— From Wral.com —

DURHAM, N.C. — A Durham lawyer says he would rethink the Duke University lacrosse rape case if he is elected district attorney as a write-in candidate in the November election.

Steve Monks, who failed in June to gather enough signatures to get his name on the ballot, said he will run if he can raise at least $50,000 in campaign money. He said it would take him about a month to decide whether to keep the high-profile rape case alive.

“I would re-discuss the matter with the person who reported it,” said Monks, referring to the exotic dancer who has claimed three Duke lacrosse players sexually assaulted her in March at an off-campus team party.

“I’m not a racist,” he said during a news conference Wednesday. “Whatever decision I make will be colorblind and just.”

The accuser is black. The three players are white.

Incumbent Mike Nifong had no comment on Monks’ remarks.

Monks, the chairman of the Durham County Republican Party, would be an unaffiliated candidate if he chose to run on a write-in basis.

County Commissioner Lewis Cheek did collect enough signatures to make the ballot but announced last week he would not campaign for district attorney because he wanted to focus on his law firm. Cheek’s name will appear on the November ballot anyway, though he said he would not serve if elected.

Nifong was appointed district attorney last year after nearly three decades as an assistant.

He became a focal point of the Duke lacrosse investigation shortly after the accuser, a 27-year-old student at North Carolina Central University, reported the alleged rape.

A grand jury has indicted three Duke lacrosse players with rape, kidnapping and sexual offense. Attorneys for all three have strongly proclaimed their clients’ innocence. A trial isn’t expected before spring 2007.

UNK sez – I think you answered your own question. A great deal of (medical?) education is on social diseases because 20%-40% of men (maybe not self respecting men) will sleep with any woman.

The real question in my mind is what self-respecting rapist decides on a brutal 5-minute group rape with his buddies all around?

Are you a man, UNK? I think you have seized on another bogus feminist statistic as “factual”. Meaning a question likely asked: “If you were single, not in a satisfying relationship, would you sleep with a total stranger if she looked like Pamela Anderson?” Many would say no, no strangers, many would say – “who’s she?” many would say her fake body doesn’t attract them, many would say no, her lifestyle turns them off. But you would still have 20-40% say yes, if I was single…if I wasn’t 14 or 73, if I wasn’t married…

Feminists distill this down to 20-40% of all men would sleep with any woman who offered sex.

Which is entirely untrue once you factor in realistic factors of age, relationship status committments, specific preferences of attraction – weight, race, age, socioeconomic status, fear of disease, personality, peer judgement, etc. etc. If just “womanhood” mattered in 20-40% of the population, then any 250-lb granny could walk into a bar, a shopping Mall assured that 20-40% of all men want sex with her….If this was a country where prostitution was legal – the stats would show that less than 3% of the male population regularly went to prostitutes, and the prostitutes say normally get little business unless they are sober and “presentatable”. And the legal whores say their “Johns” are more often than not, outside high class call girls clientle, society’s losers, loners, and detrius. Not student athletes at a premiere university regularly tapping similarly advantanged and attractive coeds and girlfriends at work or from their hometowns.

With the Duke stripper, you had a flabby, drunk, possibly diseased and drug-using, skanky woman who provoked a reaction of “get her out of her” instead of lust.

Odds any person at the Party “wanted her badly
? Almost nil. Why did they hire her? They wouldn’t have if they had seen or talked with her prior to the Party…but hiring “a stripper” was mainly about having a little “visual spice” to a nights entertainment. Same as watching fireworks, going and watching a band play, cranking up a football game, doing college or block party games as part of the festivities. Strippers, on the other hand, have more than a few in their ranks that WANT to make extra by selling sexual services, and part of the ritual is turning the stripper or her driver down…

And yes, UNK, the idea that 3 “prize male catches” would somehow decide a brutal gang rape rape of a skank while 43 others + a second stripper were witnesses is singularly stupid.

Why people might find out how anti-racist the Finnerty family really is. They might learn about all those family charitable contributions that primarily benefit blacks. Worse, they might not only appreciate that the “hired priest” libel is shameless Catholic bashing (that priest being a friend of your father since childhood and someone you’ve known all your life), but that the priest was called to build a hospital in AFRICA and lots of the money for that noble purpose came from the Finnerty family. It would be very hard to have Durham’s blacks hate you if they saw you and learned how you were raised and what you and your family believe. Why, it would be impossible to brainwash the bulk of Durham’s blacks under those circumstances.

Yesterday on both the Daily Kos and Huffington Post on their main pages were stories (conspiracy theories) on:

Apparently semen from one of the players was found on a towel in the house where he lived

From a discussion on another board, apparently Evans’ semen was found on a towel in a hallway outside ANOTHER bathroom; and some DNA not belonging to either the AV or any lacrosse player was also found on that towel.

Semen belonging to Matt Zash was found on the floor (or rug) of THE bathroom. Zash lives in the house. He was not indicted, and was apparently ruled out early on.

Strong evidence–NOT!
