She shows up at this private party as a stripper for hire. There was no bodyguard, as is the usual, to maintain order. Thus, she was really scraping the barrel doing this job.
As a female, I find it REPUGNANT to know that a bunch of college boys would willingly use this pathetic human being for their own amusement. God only knows what went on there....but we know it wasn't rape.
Nifong had a duty to investigate and protect both the students and this pathetic woman. In no way am I excusing her--no matter what her circumstances she has no right to lie.
But, this should be a warning to everyone about treating people with dignity. Just because you CAN exploit someone (because of you income, gender or circumstances) you need to remind yourself that everyone deserves respect.
I'm telling you...something went on in that house. It wasnt' rape. But it wasn't pretty either.

in the last couple of weeks at work, i had two separate incidents on work sites that indicated that men still tend to look to women for
one thing....
and then a guy at work, who also is a minister, told me i should understand things like these will happen as long as i work around men!
yikes. thank goodness i know these are isolation incidents, and that most men can exert self-control.
i also think those of us who say we should all be equal truly believe that, and thus feel that everyone thinks that way as well. it's always dammed depressing to find that not everyone shares that view.
