'Burns brought up the 2006 Duke Lacrosse case, in which three students were accused of sexually assaulting a stripper, during an interview with The Phoenix in Boston:
In the same issue as your interview we are also running a profile of Damien Echols. What are the similarities and differences between this case and that of the West Memphis Three?
[Burns] Basically both are instances where society deems someone an "other" and treats them as such, contrary to the actual facts of the case. And you can also compare the Central Park Five to the Duke University lacrosse players, three rich white boys who were mildly inconvenienced by rape charges that proved to be false. In no time the prosecutor of that case was fired, disbarred, and put in jail, and the three ended up getting a huge settlement.'

'VERNON — A student charged with falsely claiming she was raped by a group of men at UConn the weekend students moved onto campus, triggering an alert to more than 30,000, was accepted into a program Wednesday that could lead to the erasure of her charges.
Isabella Himmel, 20, of Chicago was arrested Sept. 19 and charged with second-degree falsely reporting an incident, second-degree making a false statement and second-degree breach of peace.
...
Investigators reviewed surveillance video of her leaving each bar and, eventually, walking on Route 195. Although she wasn't always in view, police never saw her getting attacked, running or taking off her boots.
Her friend told investigators that when Himmel left Ted's, she was upset he "wasn't paying attention" to her, police said.

'If women were running the show, this whole fiscal cliff thing would be solved.
That was the essential message that came from Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and that was greeted with nodding approval by the female senators of the 113th Congress in an interview with Diane Sawyer taped Tuesday. Collins shared that “I think if we were in charge of the Senate and of the administration, that we would have a budget deal by now.” She went on to say that “what I find is, with all due deference to our male colleagues, that women’s styles tend to be more collaborative.”

Article here. Excerpt:
'Farrell is enormously respected for his challenge to the assumption that men have total power, and he is also controversial because he has questioned some of the statistics about abuse, rape and gender imbalance.
He supports his claims with a great deal of research, of course, but none of this matters to those who would silence him. There were around 100 of these fanatics at the university before he spoke, ripping down posters, threatening and insulting anybody who tried to attend the lecture, and explaining as only heavily funded students can do, “You should be f---ing ashamed of yourself, you f---ing scum” to those with whom they disagreed. There is ample video evidence.
They gave Nazi salutes to the police and screamed in their faces that they were “f---ing scum and f---ing pigs,” including to the women police officers.
Why some of them were not arrested is beyond me, as they were clearly physically intimidating other people. But failure to arrest violent thug leftists is now common at such events.

Article here. Excerpt:
'(MONTEREY, CA) - The American Academy of Pediatrics crafted a criminally based Circumcision Policy Statement justifying male abuse and molestation. Advisory members from other medical specialties included, in part, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Urology and Family Practice as well as the Centers for Disease Control. Obstetricians perform most circumcisions. Pediatric Urologists often repair errors with some making that their entire practice.
RADM Preston’s 1970 article in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated there are over 100 fatalities annually from circumcision.[2] This prompted the Pediatrics association to issue a Policy Statement in 1971 against routine efficacy. Policy has been blandly upheld until now. Yet, the practice continued despite. And fatalities continued. In 42 years the conservative estimate of deaths are 4,200. The numbers are more likely than not from required Reportable events which occur only at the time and place of incidence - if made at all.[3]

'WASHINGTON/December 13, 2012 – Following a bar panel recommendation to suspend the license of prosecutor Mary N. Kellett, SAVE is urging the Maine Supreme Judicial Court to act promptly to affirm and restore fundamental legal principles of due process and the presumption of innocence.
In its December 5, 2012 decision, a panel of the Board of Overseers of the Bar concluded Assistant District Attorney Kellett violated at least seven Maine Bar Rules. The panel then recommended the Hancock County prosecutor be sanctioned with a “period of suspension.” The panel’s recommendation now goes to a Maine high court justice for a final decision: http://www.maine.gov/tools/whatsnew/index.php?topic=mebar_overseers_discipline&id=464815&v=article'

'Welfare targeted recently criticized Kungsbacka Municipality for case management in child custody disputes. She does not believe that her management is unique, but that it is a historical legacy of seeing the mother as the natural guardian in social services throughout the country.
...
Thorbjorn Leu, who has experience of a custody battle in which he felt unfairly treated by the social services, was one of the participants at the meeting. Today, his situation resolved well. He feels they have a good relationship with his children and his ex-wife. Now he has taken the fight to other men's rights by at their leisure to engage in the newly formed Men's and family shelter where he will impact both in Kungsbacka on the national level by courting politicians in parliament.'

Story here. I'm certain sexual assault charges would be filed if a male principal did this to a young girl. Excerpt:
'A 10-year-old North Carolina boy whose parents say he was traumatized when strip-searched by an assistant principal have sued district officials, alleging a violation of the boy's constitutional protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
In an 11-page complaint, Clarinda and Lionel Shawn Cox allege their son, Justin, was searched for a missing $20 bill by former Union Elementary School Assistant Principal Teresa Holmes in June. A fifth-grader at the time, Justin was taken aside by Holmes — who has since reportedly retired — to be searched after a female classmate dropped coins on a cafeteria floor and he retrieved them, according to the lawsuit.

Story here. So, al-Qaeda is an alliance of Islamists who seek the imposition of Sharia throughout the Middle East (to start), and eventually, the world. Sharia requires, among other things, for women to be subservient to men in a multitude of ways, in particular to be subservient to their fathers first, then after marriage, to their husbands. They are expected and required to remain veiled in public and behave in an "Islamic fashion befitting a female," or words to that effect. Yet Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State and world-famous feminist, admits publicly that the US has been supporting al-Qaeda affiliates in Syria-- the same goons that fought against and killed U.S. troops in Iraq, no less. My goodness, politics sure does make for strange bedfellows. Wonder how her Secretary-of-Stateness reconciles this with her long-held feminist ideology? Wonder how her boss reconciles it? We'll probably never know. Excerpt:

Massachusetts, where we started, is leading the way. We secured a place for our founder, Ned Holstein, on Governor Deval Patrick’s Working Group on Child-Centered Family Law. The legislature is looking to this Working Group for its recommendations on massively overhauling family law, and Ned is advocating for shared parenting.'

'A mother has been accused of having sex with four underage boys she met through her ten-year-old son.
Courtney Sue Reschke, from Idaho, is alleged to have plied the teens - all 15-years-old - with alcohol before having sex with them at her home.
Police said the 35-year-old was engaged in a sexual encounter when her five-year-old child tried to get into the bedroom at her home in Kuna, Idaho.
An arrest report revealed Reschke ignored her son and continued to have sex.
The 35-year-old met the teens through her oldest son who is aged ten. She was charged with two counts of felony injury to a child and felony lewd conduct with a child under 16.
Investigators said their investigation is still ongoing and Reschke could face further charges.'

Female senators resoundingly said "yes" in an interview with ABC News.
"I think if we were in charge of the Senate and the administration that we would have a budget deal by now," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, as 18 of her female colleagues nodded their heads in agreement. "What I find is with all due deference to our male colleagues that women's styles tend to be more collaborative."

'WASHINGTON/December 11, 2012 – A Maine bar association panel has recommended the suspension of prosecutor Mary N. Kellett, two years after the state Supreme Court reprimanded Kellett for unethical actions. SAVE applauds the panel’s decision, and calls for stronger oversight of prosecutor conduct.
SAVE – Stop Abusive and Violent Environments – a victim advocacy organization, deplores the fact that frivolous prosecutions harm the credibility of victims and waste scarce taxpayer resources.
In September 2010 the Maine Supreme Judicial Court rebuked Assistant District Attorney Kellett for numerous irregularities in prosecuting a rape claim against Vladek Filler. Despite the decision, Kellett continued to prosecute sexual assault cases that lacked DNA evidence, independent witnesses, and credible allegations, SAVE alleges.

'When is a man guilty of rape? When he is accused by more than one alleged victim, according to one MP. Fortunately, the law sees things differently.
It is widely believed that rape is a greatly under-reported crime; not everyone shares this view, especially the False Rape Society*. As they point out, no one knows for certain how many genuine rapes are not reported. The flip side is rapes that are reported but never occurred, and the sad thing is that it doesn't take much of a search to unearth a mass of these.'
