The 3 Dule lacrosse victims got famously rich in a settlement with Duke University which of course was confidential. The travesty at Duke was the so-called gang of 88 faculty who rushed to judgement mostly along racial lines to convict these exceptional white male athletes in the court of public opinion. They even ran their NCAA award winning coach off to Holy Cross I believe because apparently his duties included knowing 24/7 what every one of his players was up to. The gang of 88 was never held accountable for their witch hunt!

The silver lining in that horribly ugly shit storm is that it provides us with a perfect example of just how nasty, hateful, self-righteous and wrong the media can be and how readily people around us will accept their lies and amplify their evil, all in the guise of seeking justice.

We can point to this episode and say " you don't think this could ever happen in real life, but take a good hard long look at exhibit A here."
