Duke University Gang Rape


Well, the Duke University Lacrosse Team have done it this time. This is not a case of boys will be boys. Even though, they have been described as clean cut, normal American boys.

One of the team members hired 2 African American women to dance at an off campus party. They were to perform for 5 men. When they arrived there was over 40 males in attendance. An unknown male stood in the middle of the floor with a broom in his hand. His words, "I'm going to rape them with this broom."

The youngladies left, but unfortunately returned after apologies had been made. Plus, promises of no further incidents such as this. Immediately, after coming back inside 1 of the females was dragged into a bathroom. She was raped, sodomized, choked and racially terrorized.

Of course, the Duke lacrosse players & frat members are denying these accusations. 46 of the 47 team members had to give their DNA. The only one excluded was an African American male. Why? The rape victim has alleged that 3 White Males raped her.

The brutalized rape lasted 30 minutes. In the course of trying to fight back she broke 4 artificial nails. How? By scratching and digging into the arm of the one of the assailants. My question, "Where are the 4 broken artificial fingernails." If found, will they provide DNA? The boys will be boys were supposedly wearing long sleeve shirts and jackets. But, "How did she & why would she break the artificial fingernails?" I guess some may be out there saying, "Because, she willingly had rough & hard kinky sex." I say, "Okay if it makes you feel better."

I personally hope they fry for this. Yet, there are some things I don't understand or agree with. Coach Mike Pressler has resigned after 16 years of service. And, Duke's President Richard H. Brodhead felt this was the appropriate thing for him to do. Why? He didn't rape them. His coaching or lack thereof -- If this is how some are choosing to view his resignation had nothing to do with grown men raping, sodomizing and choking this youngwoman.

President Brodhead, only after his resignation decided to suspend the teams season. He wants to see how it all unfolds. Puke, vomit and spit. Oh yeah, and throw up!

The argument is this was a racially motivated hate crime. I say, this was a despicable sex crime. I don't see any color involved. I see disrepect, a sense of entitlement and human beings, that are low-lifes.

I'm glad that the Duke University students have band together with the North Carolina Central University students. They have participated in the many candlelight vigils and rallies held in honor & support of the rape victim. She was a 27 year old mother of two, attending North Carolina Central University to further advance and empower her life.

These are the words of Ryan McFayden, a 19 year old sophomore in attendance and lacrosse player. "I am going to invite strippers to my dorm room, kill them and cut off their skin." These words, his words were contained in an email message. McFayden, has been suspended from the university. No charges have been filed.

Now, I've got something to say about this. If he was an African American male who had sent this email, been at a party where a white female had been brutally raped, by now he would not only be in jail they would have his cell underneath the ground.
