Duke LAX Team runs for Innocence Project
Submitted by scottkirk on Mon, 2007-12-10 19:44
College males are realising how easy it is to make a false rape accusation, and how difficult it is to defend against one. Story here. Excerpt:
'Just before 4 a.m. this morning, men's lacrosse player Reade Seligmann '09 planned to lace up his running shoes, throw on a bright-yellow traffic jacket and run laps around the Main Green.
Seligmann, the former Duke lacrosse suspect who was vindicated earlier this year, will be jogging for the Brown team's fall charity project: a 36-hour run-a-thon to raise funds for the Innocence Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to exonerating innocent prisoners through DNA testing.
Seligmann pitched the idea of a lacrosse team charity event for the Innocence Project even before he committed to transferring to Brown this spring. Head Coach Lars Tiffany '90 liked the idea and organized the event this fall after team members approved, much to the delight of the New York City-based organization.'

Oustanding. This guy is an
Oustanding. This guy is an American hero.
excellent
as the screw turns.
men are starting to wake up to the evils that society would have them enslaved to, and are rebelling. talk about waking a sleeping giant. i guess BIG giants take longer to stir.
feminists are getting desperate. however, only when the source of their undeserved funds (WAVA) is curtailed will their interference w/ marriage and our way of life start to be purged from our systems. long way yet to go.
i keep wondering how history will record this. viva la internet!
keep hammering!
Many of the big media
Many of the big media feminists-- like Nancy Grace and Wendy Murphy-- have been totally discredited.
..maybee a few of us here
..maybee a few of us here could send these guys 20 bucks or so for their cause..at least as a token gesture that men are supporting what they are trying to do!!
..donate 20 dollars.and tell it's from mensactivism.org
..Mensactivism.org...(or us
..Mensactivism.org...(or us guys that blog here regularly)..should get a list of each of the boys/men who participated in this run to benefit the innocense project!!
We could then send each one of them an honorary award certificate of recogintion...From the guys at mensactivism.org!!!
It would be damn good advertisement for this site!!
Where Is The Main Stream Media?
This is a story that should be in the national media but it is not. These Duke Lacrosse guys suffered trauma equivalent to rape when they were falsely accused by Crystal Gale Mangum; THEY WERE RAPED!
The Innocense Project is certainly a noble cause but I hope to see the day when there are 10k runs to make the public aware that false rape accusations are the same as rape. I would certainly help sponsor a runner in that effort!
How About An Ad?
It may be more media savvy to place an ad in the Brown Daily Herald by the readers of Mensactivism.Org thanking the runners for their effort.
The Herald's advertising rates are posted on the site and they seem very reasonable.
Just a thought.
....If men who read here
....If men who read here have a few minutes to send a few E-mails to the mens LAX team;.. to the writer of this piece; And to the coaches who helped put this together..
It would be very helpfull!!
..these guys on the team need to know there are people supporting their efforts!!
They suffered trauma
They suffered trauma infinitely worse than rape-- because the crime against them was aided and abetted by society as a whole. From now on, they have a black mark on them wherever they go. Nothing will ever fully compensate them for this. They should be awarded a billion dollars each.
