Domestic Abuse: Does money fuel false allegations?

Article here. Excerpt:

"Proclaiming his innocence, the 41-year-old Vallejo man racked up thousands of dollars in legal bills before a judge dismissed the charges a month later, saying there was insufficient evidence of domestic violence."

"Even the cop was apologetic," said Joe, who asked that his identity be disguised because his divorce proceedings are ongoing. "She told me she didn't believe (my wife), but that she had to arrest me because the accusation had been made."

Nifong's Law...by Doug Powers

Article here. Excerpt:

"It has become painfully obvious that the accused are being used for some purpose other than the pursuit of justice. If it turns out that the prosecutor is continuing to press increasingly discredited allegations, severe action needs to be taken. If this is all a political game, Mike Nifong's last day in office should be the legal equivalent of Mussolini's involuntary inverted pinata therapy at the end of World War II"

Many still don't see women as sex predators

Story here. Excerpt:

"The general public still does not let boys be victims like they do girls," said Hobbs, a 23-year veteran of the department. "And I don't think they hold the offenders as accountable when the offender is a female."

Class Action Suit Alleges Arrests of Men Targeted for Town Income Purposes

Stone Park sued on vice arrests: Prostitution stings called moneymakers for western suburb

Excerpt:

'A federal lawsuit filed Thursday claims as many as 900 men arrested in prostitution stings were wrongly targeted by Stone Park police in an operation designed to generate income for the tiny village.

The class-action lawsuit, which names 12 plaintiffs, was filed in U.S. District Court and expands on a suit filed last year by nine men who claim an undercover officer posing as a prostitute arrested them even after they turned her down.
...
The stings occurred when men stopped at the Blue Dolphin, Horwitz said, and were approached by a female undercover officer who offered to perform a sexual act with them.

Nifong hid DNA evidence

You read that correctly. It now appears according DNA Security of Burlington, which did the DNA testing last March on the Duke Lacrosse players, that Nifong knew all about the results for NINE MONTHS and hid all of it from the trial proceedings up to this point. This is all the defense lawyers will need for a quick dismissal once this gets to the courtroom, if it ever does, and to get that scum bag Nifong fired, disbarred, and thrown in jail. Naturally, none of this will happen, "in the interest of protecting women". Men, it's time for a revolution. Story here. Excerpt:

Olympian wanted in the U.S. for child abduction

Canadian olympic athlete Myriam Bédard is wanted by police after taking abducting her child in violation of a child custody agreement:

"... Ms. Bédard is wanted by police for the alleged abduction of her daughter in contravention of a custody order. Quebec City police issued an arrest warrant after her former husband, biathlete coach Jean Paquet, complained that she had left the country and violated their child-custody agreement."

What's shocking isn't that she has abducted a child but that the police are actually pursuing legal remedies against her.

Rutgers Sponsors Global Feminist Terrorism

Story here. Excerpt:

"Rutgers is an integral part of the U.N. Feminist Rumor Mill. Virtually all statistics and conclusions feminists make about abuse have been scientifically proven to be fantastical."

"In fact, the body of assertions made in the U.N. Secretary Generals Report on Violence Against Women were so outrageous that the U.N. Third Committee voted unanimously to only “note” the report, rather than accept it. In parliamentary language, this is a full rejection — a rare event at the United Nations."
