It's amazing how much hatred anyone of priveledge can engender in people. So many people believe these guys "deserve" some form of prosecution, even if it has to be on trumped up charges, because they are rich and white.

This lying whore "deserves" her pound of flesh because she is poor and black. The non-contributor, the one who has wasted (and will probably continue to waste) her life gets all the sympathy, no matter the burden she represents to society. Even those that suspect she is lying are alright with that, just to teach the rich white boys a "lesson". Such spite...

Kinda like one thing that we put up when we were based in Saudi for two years. They had something called "speed week" there where you would pull up to a traffic light and the Saudi police would motion to the first two lines of cars, pulling them off on the side. We were told that if this happened to just accept it and move on.

The saudi police would give each driver they pulled over a ticket for speeding. One guy we knew who got caught in this asked about it and was told "you were not speeding now but you have in the past and we just did not catch you at the time."

Sounds like the same sort of knee jerk reaction here. The masses in this area feel that these rich white guys raped someone in the past and just were not caught but its time for them to pay now.
