139. Keep floating in the ether...you'll come down eventually
There is the account of Mr. Jason Bissey, a neighbor who witnessed the scene:

"Jason Bissey, who was on his porch next door during the party, saw the victim that night. He said Friday that he wishes he had called police at the first sign something was wrong.

He saw at least 30 men go into the white three-bedroom house, which Duke officials say is rented by three lacrosse team captains.

Bissey saw two women arrive and, after they were in the house 20 minutes, come out. As they got into a car, men shouted, Bissey said.

"Some of them were saying things like, 'I want my money back,' " Bissey said.

He recalled the racially charged statements at least one man was yelling at the victim.

"When I was outside, one guy yelled at her, '... Thank your grandpa for my cotton shirt,' " Bissey said."


Now, I understand you're doing gymnastics worthy of a 12-year old Russian to obsfucate and blur who said it. Why don't I think that these are just nice boys and that this slur must have been uttered by a skinhead who just happened to walk by at that moment?

"Bissey and other neighbors are accustomed to hearing loud parties at the house. It's one of many rental houses near the Duke campus where police stay busy, breaking up rowdy parties and rounding up minors suspected of underage drinking.

Last fall, residents were worried about more than drunken antics and loud music. Many complained that students disregarded their neighbors and police, and were disrespectful when confronted."

Here's the link to the News Observer article for your further edification: http://www.newsobserver.com/102/story/421799.html

Oh, BTW....she IS a rape victim. No leap of logic there, just going by the word of the doctors and nurses in the emergency room where she was treated.
