"This incident is nothing more than a "witch-hunt" brought on by racists outraged that a black woman dare pointed the finger at a white man, false or otherwise. "

Outraged that a woman FALSELY accused three men... 'false or otherwise' you say? As if somehow THAT point is irrelevant? Well, to racists like yourself, obviously truth & evidence of truth IS besides the point... We are also outraged at people like yourself, racists who don't seem to care ONE bit about truth, about justice, about who the REAL perpetrators are in this case... you only care about racial revenge of some kind... not unlike how the black community reacted in the OJ case.

you do your people no service whatsoever - you should be ashamed of yourself - racist.

This just set back the "Civil Rights Act" 50 years, because now a white man can legitimately rape a black woman. We've turned the clock back to the era when white men could unyieldingly molest black women and the law protected them.

+ report abuse

*********************

do you understand the whole context of this news item??????????????????????????????

there were no rape..............there were no molestation...........

it is people with mindset like you who keeps the "civil rights" timeline of 50 years ago. NOW IT IS BLACK MEN WHO CAN rape, kill, rob men, women and children of ALL COLOR and get away with it. It is you along with Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson should be investigated.

"My community has suffered enough," Nifong said from the witness stand at his ethics trial.

But you haven't. Your misery has just begun.

johnstossel spoken like a true "Klansman"and cryonbrian best *** post I read on this topic....

I wonder if these posters would be so overzealous to condemn Nifong if these had been three African American males falsely accused of raping a white woman, absolutely not...

As many African American males falsely accused of raping white women, I've never heard of any case involving disbarment for prosecutorial misconduct in the history of United States.

This incident is nothing more than a "witch-hunt" brought on by racists outraged that a black woman dare pointed the finger at a white man, false or otherwise.

Research the annals of jurisprudence for all the cases involving black males being falsely accused of raping a white woman, and there are numerous, not once was a prosecutor brought up on charges of misconduct.


So, you racists have something to really celebrate , and a warning to all blacks making claims of rape or other injustices, prosecutors are now going to be extremely cautious upon deciding to prosecute a case.

Which most likely, they will seek not to prosecute a case involving the accusations made against a white defendant by a black, Hispanic, etc.


This just set back the "Civil Rights Act" 50 years, because now a white man can legitimately rape a black woman. We've turned the clock back to the era when white men could unyieldingly molest black women and the law protected them.

In addition to Nifong, the state should put on trial all those that prodded the idiot Nifong to lynch the innocent Duke Lacrosse players. In particular, the state must try the hypocrite, racist, hate-mongers "Hymietown" Jackson and the God Bigot "Tawana Brawley" Sharpton, who are every bit as guilty as the idiot Nifong in this gross miscarriage of justice.

The kind that makes decisions based on political expediency and self-interest, and to h-e-l-l with everybody else.

Kind of like the other monster currently residing in the White House.

Nifong should be punished with full force of the law. He acted maliciously and he thought that he could get away with it. I just cannot imagine what anguish he caused to those families deliberately. He should be disbarred, put away in prison and fined.

Also Nifong was appointed to the post of District Attorney, after he promised Guv. Easley
that he wouldn't seek election to that post,(Easley wanted a truely eclected officail to that post), but ran anyways, so that makes him a liar too. The other (D.A.) moved on to be a judge. Nice,.

It's a shame this man abused his office for whatever reason. Maybe he wanted to show the world he was a big man. Maybe he was pandering to the minority voters. Maybe he was just dumb as a brick and believed the alleged victim despite every inconsistancy and flat out evidence to the contrary.

But to perform his job in a way that ignored and laughed at proper procedures GUARANTEED by our Constitution was -- at best -- criminally negligent. These players, no matter how cocky they may have been before this incident, did not deserve to have their lives permanently ruined, yes, ruined, by a man in power who did know better but chose to violate many of these players' basic Constitutionally protected rights. Nifong became evil personified. The man just STINKS of evil!

These players will ALWAYS be tainted by Nifong's evil actions. It's time for Nifong to take up a new occupation -- like scooping up and disposing of road kill. Seems that suits him if he gets so "carried away" in cleaning up his district.

My hope is that the alleged victim in this case can recover from whatever brought her to that house that night and whatever really did happen to her from the time she entered the players' house to her ordeal with Nifong.
