Taking Out The Trash

So far, I have refused to comment on this story that has the MSM all in a tizzy. They have been all over it right from the beginning and where the media goes, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton will follow. Jackson is convinced there is racism involved. The media has nothing better to cover right now. The case involves drunk, rich college kids and poor hard-working strippers and a major university. It has everything to whet the appetite of the sensationalist media. Except substance. This is pure crap, plain and simple. Let me make a few key points and then I’ll shut up ....

• Lacrosse is not a sport. It is recreation for rich white kids. Blacks don’t play it because they know it’s not a sport.


• Any stripper who goes to a drunken party for college jocks knows what she is getting into. Reference: “Animal House”.


• For years the media have touted the benefits of DNA testing in helping to free unjustly accused black murderers. Now all of a sudden when DNA tests clear a bunch of rich white kids, the tests are “suspect”? Make up your mind. Are the tests good or not?


• Does Jesse Jackson have a real job anywhere? Does Al Sharpton? Why do these two see a racist under every bed? Why does the media even bother with these two TV whores?


• What kind of ignoramus university has a “blue devil” for a mascot? Do their “sports” teams play with “blue balls”? Is that why their jocks hire strippers? Don’t answer that. I don’t want to know.

Other Stripper Speaks Out

DURHAM, N.C. (AP)—At first, a stripper who performed at a Duke University lacrosse team party doubted the story of a colleague who told police she was dragged into a bathroom and raped. Now, Kim Roberts isn’t so sure.

“I was not in the bathroom when it happened, so I can’t say a rape occurred—and I never will,” Roberts told The Associated Press on Thursday in her first on-the-record interview. But after watching defense attorneys release photos of the accuser, and upset by the leaking of both dancers’ criminal pasts, she said she has to “wonder about their character.”

“In all honesty, I think they’re guilty,” she said. “And I can’t say which ones are guilty ... but somebody did something besides underage drinking. That’s my honest-to-God impression.”

The attorneys claim Roberts at first told a member of the defense team that she did not believe the accuser’s allegations. They say she has changed her story to gain favorable treatment in a criminal case against her. They note she also e-mailed a New York public relations firm, asking in her letter for advice on “how to spin this to my advantage.”

“We believe ... her story has been motivated by her own self-interest,” said attorney Bill Thomas, who represents one of the uncharged players. “I think that a jury will ultimately have to decide the question of her credibility.”

Roberts, 31, was arrested on March 22—eight days after the party—on a probation violation from a 2001 conviction for embezzling $25,000 from a photofinishing company in Durham where she was a payroll specialist, according to documents obtained by the AP.

On Monday, the same day a grand jury indicted lacrosse players Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, a judge agreed to a change so that Roberts would no longer have to pay a 15 percent fee to a bonding agent. District Attorney Mike Nifong signed a document saying he would not oppose the change.

“It seems she is receiving very favorable financial treatment for what she is now saying,” Thomas said.

Mark Simeon, Roberts’ attorney, said the bond conditions were changed because Roberts is not considered a flight risk. Nifong, who hasn’t spoken with reporters about the case in weeks, didn’t return a call seeking comment.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
