No remorse from administrators in Duke lacrosse rape hoax

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)

Richard Brodhead is still president of Duke, and in an interview with the Duke Chronicle, said he was "Certainly at ease in my conscience" regarding the way he and his administration treated the innocent students who were falsely accused.

K.C. Johnson, who co-wrote the book on the case, pointed to a statement Brodhead made in 2006, in the heat of the accusation, where he presumed the guilt of his own students and blamed them for possibly being falsely accused.

One former Duke lecturer, Christine Beaule, claimed to the Duke Chronicle that the flyer "Wasn't about the kids at all." Sure it wasn't, Beaule, sure it wasn't; it just included comments from students claiming "The kids" were racists and rapists.

Pop quiz.

Name a hate mob that has ever apologized for going after what ended up being the wrong person.

Sounds like sociopaths. Some people honestly don't feel guilt or remorse over hurting people.

The mob never feels guilt, the mob never apologizes. They are allowed to continue on with their lives, and even flourish professionally, as if nothing had happened. And what happens to the falsely accused? If they're not expelled, they drop out due to the ostracism they face, and no one will hire them because everyone presumes they are a rapist.

They'll all feel just fine and at peace with themselves until their school loses federal funding and they get fired for what they've done. I really hope that happens someday.

Brodhead also said "I don't spend my time looking back on this" and said the whole incident "was distracting."

Rage inducing, destroying three young men's lives is nothing more than a "distraction" to these scum.
