3 Seems you missed my point -- I fully support the free speech rights of those espousing reprehensible viewpoints, be they Nazis, Klansmen, Communists, or even Democrats.

My point was a bit different -- and apparently is was too subtle for you to catch. Let me put it to you in a clearer manner.

Would Duke, a private school whish is not covered by the First Amendment, open its campus to the Klan? If not, why do so for these racists?

WOuld the prosecutor meet with neo-Nazi leaders out to make sure that alleged black perps were properly prosecuted for violating a white woman? If not, why meet with these racists?

In short, why is this gang of racists and anti-Semites being treated with kid-gloves and tolerance by those who would -- and have -- fortrightly denounced real and perceived racism in the past and in this case?

4 Eh...I think it's better to allow them to talk and sound like idiots (which they do, like the klan), than to shut them up and let them create a huge media fuss.

I'm actually curious whether the klan would be allowed. I'm guessing it would be, actually. I'm at duke, btw.

5 I checked your IP, and find your location plausible.

On the other hand, I sincerely doubt that Duke or any private school like it would permit the Klan to rally on its campus. Heck, I think most public colleges would try to find a provision in their policies to keep the Klan off campus and, if possible, confined to the front steps of the county courthouse.

6 Victimization, except it's white guilt being used & pushed to the edge. Beside, prosecuter is up for re-election and this is all free press.

7 I agree with your comment 100%. I hope when all is said and done that these three boys sue this female and the D.A. for everything they can. This is a "hate crime" and is totally directed at white people. That is what the case is about in my opinion. Racial discrimination from an African American. Yes, people this is happening every day in America. Wake up. We as Whites are not allowed to say or do the things the African Americans are doing and getting away with. I am sick to death of the discrimintion I received on my job over the last four years.
This girl should be put on public display and charged with every crime we have on the books for her lies.

Facts about Crystal Gail Mangum:

She is 27-years-old, her birthday is July 16, 1978.

Ms. Mangum graduated from Hillside High School, Durham, N.C. in 1996.

She joined the Navy in the fall of 1996 - signing up for an eight-year enlistment -- two years of active duty followed by six years in the reserves.

Ms. Mangum began active duty in the summer of 1997 and was sent to school in Dam Neck, Va., near Virginia Beach. She trained for a job operating radios and navigation equipment.

She married a man 14 years her senior in the fall of 1997. His name is Kenneth Nathanial McNeill. They were married for 17 months. She taught him how to read and write. He said:

"She wanted to see the world. The only thing I knew to tell her was to join the Navy."

"Our honeymoon was driving out to California"
She and her husband moved Concord, Calif., where Mangum was assigned to the USS Mount Hood, an ammunition ship. Reportedly:

She was often away at sea for days or weeks, and tensions flared in the marriage, her former husband said.

"She was young," he said.

Along the way, the woman became interested in another sailor, a man who would later father her children, the former husband said. The two separated as the new relationship began, he said. Six months later, she was discharged from the service (in 199 .

A U.S. Navy spokesman would not release the reason for the discharge, though records indicate it came less than nine months before she had her first child, a boy, named after his father.
Ms. Mangum is divorced with two children. She went to court to force the children's father to pay child support.

In 2003, the children's father was ordered by a Durham court to have a portion of his paycheck, about $400 a month, withheld for child support, court records show. He was also ordered to pay more than $2,700 in public assistance to the children.


She had worked at a nursing facility and on an assembly line making catalytic reducers at $10.50 per hour.

Ms. Mangum was arrested in June 2002 after she got drunk, stole a car at a strip club, and lead police on a reckless high-speed chase. This incident resulted in the following charges:

Felonious Larceny and Felonious Possession of Stolen Vehicle charges, 02-CRS-49955

Felonious Speeding to Elude Arrest, Driving while Impaired (.19 Blood Alcohol Content) and Driving while License Revoked, 02-CRS-49956

Driving Left of Center, 02-CR-49958

Failure to Heed Blue Light and Siren and Reckless Driving in Wanton Disregard to Rights or Safety of Others, 02-CR-49959

Driving the Wrong Way on Dual Lane Highway and Open Container After Consuming Alcohol, 02-CR-49960

two counts of Injury to Personal Property, 02-CR-49962-63

She plead guilty to four misdemeanors in May 2003: Speeding to elude arrest, assault against a government official, DWI level 3, and larceny. She was put on parole and served no jail time.

Ms. Mangum paid her legal bills and $4,200 in restitution and court fees from the May 2003 convictions.

She went to Durham Technical Community College and graduated in 2004 with an associate degree.

Ms. Mangum is a registered Democratic voter.

She was a full-time, second-year student at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) this semester. Ms. Mangum is a police psychology student with a 3.0 grade average.

Ms. Mangum was working for a local escort service, Bunny Hole Entertainment, when she went to the Duke Lacrosse party. Ms. Mangum told The News & Observer she had worked for the escort service for two months, doing one-on-one dates about three times a week.

"It wasn't the greatest job," she said, her voice trailing off. But with two children, and a full class load at N.C. Central University, it paid well and fit her schedule.
Ms. Mangum also told The News & Observer that the Duke party was the first time she had been hired to dance provocatively for a group.

Ms. Mangum went to the Duke Lacrosse party without a chaperone or security and was dressed only in her revealing dance outfit - a negligee and shiny white strappy high heels. Professional "exotic dance" performers say both actions are considered unprofessional.

Travis Mangum went to Duke University Medical Center the morning following the incident, but was unable to see his daughter

8 Well, folks, what do you think -- delete teh above comment or not?

I don't particularly agree with rape shield laws, and don't feel the accuser has any more of a moral right to privacy than the accusers -- but I wonder if the above goes a bit too far in exposing her life to the world.

Do what you need, but I for one feel that she (I am a female too) does not deserve protection under the law. I feel the boys are the victims here and their names have been out for months. Do the boys deserve this because she lied?
