"When it was offered, I thought it was highly appropriate"

Duke’s lacrosse coach has resigned, and the season officially cancelled. Some more information has been released about one of the scumbags in question:

Earlier Wednesday, authorities unsealed documents stating that hours after the alleged rape, a player apparently sent an e-mail saying he wanted to invite more strippers to his dorm room, kill them and skin them. It was not clear whether the message was serious or a joke.

That player’s lawyer, Glen Bachman, said Duke had suspended his client from school. Brodhead said he was the only player suspended so far.

The university president referred to the player’s e-mail in announcing the cancellation of the rest of the season. Last week, Brodhead suspended the team from play.

“The court released today a previously sealed warrant, whose contents are sickening and repulsive,” he said Wednesday.

[…]

he e-mail, according to an application for a search warrant of the player’s dorm room, was sent from the player’s Duke e-mail account just before 2 a.m. on March 14. Police said investigators received a copy from a confidential source, though they later won a court order seeking access to the account.

In the e-mail, addressed “To whom it may concern,” the player says he has “decided to have some strippers over” to his dorm room, “however there will be no nudity.”

“I plan on killing the bitches as soon as they walk in and proceeding to cut their skin off,” the author of the e-mail says, adding in vulgar terms that he would find the act sexually satisfying. The e-mail was signed with what police said is the player’s jersey number.

If you’ll excuse me, I need to go and throw up now.
