If Crystal Mangum's rape lie had been properly punished, Reginald Daye likely would be alive today


Crystal Mangum was charged earlier this week in Durham with first-degree murder and two larceny charges in connection with the stabbing death of Reginald Daye.

Mangum is best known for falsely accusing three Duke lacrosse players of rape in March 2006. The charges hung over the heads of the innocent young men until April 2007, when North Carolina's attorney general Roy Cooper declared them "innocent."

Mangum previously was arrested in February 2010 on charges of attempted murder, arson and child abuse. She was convicted only of misdemeanor charges in connection with that incident and was sentenced to time served.

Mangum had made false rape accusations similar to the Duke lacrosse allegations in 1996 that were never prosecuted. See  here.

Despite all this, incredibly, some still insist on calling her a victim.  How many people must this woman destroy before she loses that label?

Here's the reality: if Ms. Mangum had been properly punished for her rape lie in the Duke case, she likely would have been in prison at the time she stabbed Mr. Daye.

Professor Alan Dershowitz once said this: “Rape is such a serious crime that deliberately bringing a false accusation of rape should be an equally serious crime and women are not being punished for those crimes. I believe that being falsely accused of rape is as traumatic as being raped.”

Yet, women like Melissa McEwan, commenting not about Mangum but about the woman who was wrongly charged with filing a false rape report, wrote this "Well, what do you want the police to do—just let women who make false reports GET AWAY WITH IT?! Yes. That is exactly what I want."  And Lisa Longstaff of Women Against Rape, and Dr. Kim McGregor, director of Rape Prevention Education, and many others, have made it clear they don't want rape liars charged.

The evil attendant to that position is self-evident.

Wouldn't it have been fitting to require those women to attend the viewing of Reginald Daye -- to see the sorrow on the faces of his family and friends, to learn about his life, his hopes, his dreams, his struggles? 

Because if  false rape claims were treated the way the "equally serious crime" of rape is treated, Mr. Daye likely would be alive today.

Not to victim blame, but . . . what was he thinking, hooking up with her?

incredibly well written and a good counterpoint to the cowards who insist women can do what they want. In the last week we have seen two lives lost one by a false rape accuser who set two white knights on her victim and the other who was the poster child of victims on most feminuts sites even after she was proven to be a liar.

Dr Kanin said in his studies on false rape accusations, that the main reason for a false rape accusation was that the women or girl was late for work, or late for school, late for something.
But another close second or third reason for false rape accusations must be out of a "desire to see violence against the target of the accusation".
In the real world, outside the gender feminist curtain, could be called "womens proxy violenec".
Now im not suggesting crystal magnums false rape accusation was because she was "late for work", or even targeting the duke boys for her "Violence by proxy", but the girls i grew up with in the matriarchal underclass of violence...most suredly used "false accusations", in order to watch the blood flow after.

I really feel for Mr Daye's family.

The article very much nails the truth, if she had been punished he would still be alive. As sad as this case is it certainly lends us campaigners to prosecute false allegations a lot of firepower.

False accusers are often unstable and definitely dangerous. Isn't the best thing to do with dangerous criminals lock them up?
It surely isn't to call them a victim.

I'll bet Ms Mangum really believed she was untouchable and could do whatever she wanted to men. Who can blame her for that? The system and feminists 'empowered' her to be a murderer.

WELL DONE TO THEM!

I have noticed, in relation to Mangums latest crimes, that she is referred to as the "Duke rape accuser". But never the false accuser.

It is sad, a man is dead, and would be alive if Mangum had been held responsible for previous offenses.

Feminists who supported Crystal Mangum when they believed she was a rape victim don't care that Reginald Daye has been murdered.After all he is only a man.

"And Lisa Longstaff of Women Against Rape, and Dr. Kim McGregor, director of Rape Prevention Education, and many others, have made it clear they don't want rape liars charged."

When they adopt such a position, they simply reveal themselves for the hatemongers they are. Why would rape victim advocates want to protect false accusers from punishment? Surely they would wish to punish false accusers in order to deter them and stop them from damaging the credibility of genuine victims?

I can easily understand why rape victim advocates would want to downplay the extent of false allegations. And I can understand why victim advocates would also not want the law to be too zealous in prosecuting alleged false allegations where the evidence is doubtful. But I cannot see how anyone, in good faith, would want to see a blanket policy of not prosecuting false allegations period, unless they cared at least as much for false accusers as they do genuine victims.

The truth is that for women like Lisa Longstaff, campaigning against rape is simply a convenient cover for bashing men generally. For her ilk, there is no such thing as a bad allegation against any man. True of false, makes no difference. So long as a woman is roasting a man's balls, it's all good.

Heh. Not only is she still called a victim, but her supporters and enablers are very vocal about it. To them, the innocent boys of Duke Lacrosse still are the scum of the earth.

It's understandable, for the extremists, since the boys (and Lacrosse girls)'s courage ruined their perfect narrative.

I don't think they will try to spin Daye's tragic death as a result of white male priviledge, but you never know. We also shouldn't spin his death as the feminist's failing either.

They don't care about him, we do, and he deserves better than to be used as a stepping stone for propaganda.

"We also shouldn't spin his death as the feminist's failing either."

You're kidding, right? Why was Mangum not charged, tried, and convicted? Hint: the decision was as political as the decision to charge the boys in the first place. Feminist politics. See, when you don't hold people accountable for their actions, they think they can continue to do bad. That's what happened here.

ScareCrow said...

I am really glad that somebody pointed this out.

Crystal Mangum was used by feminists as an "icon" too...

zarko said...

Yes, I understand. And no, I am not kidding.

A man is dead. We shouldn't use HIM. We should be respectful in that sense.

That's all I am saying.

If Lorena Bobbit had been properly dealt with for cutting off John Wayne Bobbitt's penis, it is unlikely that her sister would also have tried the same thing. (The sister missed and stabbed him in the thigh, seriously injuring him.)

The bottom line here folks is that it is a perversion of American law enforcement to not charge false rape accusers. As you can see, False rape accusations have become an epidemic in many areas of the country...And is getting worse.
Some one may have to "fallow the pork trail"..to see if anyone like perhaps (American law enforcement, and sexual-gender re-engineering organizations) are "Bloating their budgets" by manufacturing misinformation for each other.

Ms. Mangum may still believe she is untouchable - after all, she has not been tried or convicted as yet.

I have read where soemone is putting out that her victim died by an air bubble in his IV, and they claim "someone" did it to frame her.

Oh my!

What's an innocent girl to do?

Those feminists don't want rape liars punished because many of them ARE rape liars.

Similarly, I would suspect that the representatives of an organization that lobbied on behalf of bank robbers also wouldn't want bank robbers to be punished.
