the woman is believed, and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't exist.

Witness the Duke lacrosse players' case. That one was as ugly as anyone can imagine from the get-go, the character assassinations were heaped upon the young men sucked into that one, but the woman was always presumed to have been telling the truth, to have been the poor black girl used and abused by the rich white guys, to have been just another toy they bought and threw away.

Of course, it didn't hurt that the DA in that matter was out of his mind with headline-seeking and dreams of re-election.

But they were railroaded and condemned here by the open-minded liberal types, and now, this matter once again raises the spectre of that automatic condemnation and dismissal of the possibility that young men are being wrongfully charged.

Fortunately, the girl got caught by the video - who would have dreamed that a boy used his cell phone to record her little adventure?

I hope they sue her for everything she might ever have, and I hope the state's attorney brings criminal charges against her.........
