Meanwhile, Assemblyman Joseph Lentol (D-Brooklyn) said he will introduce legislation to make displaying a noose a felony akin to showcasing a burning cross or a swastika. "I think it is high time that the law recognizes the racial and historic hatred that a noose symbolizes," Lentol said.

Scuttlebutt has it that this noose thing is a hoax.

Heh....ban nooses. Go to hell.

I was listening to some pundit talk thing or another and the duo discussing whatever they were discussing were almost talking in code. Let’s see...we have the “N” word, or course. Now there’s the “B” word. There’s always been the “F” word.

Oh, and cutest of all...the “H” word...this is supposed to stand for...heh...”whore”.

It’s like we can just...boom, ban words, things, pics and soon....THOUGHTS....and all evil will be banished.

But maybe it’s just me.

I bet that Democrat would want the felony automatically pleaded down to a civic award if a black person falsely does it to generate racial awareness.

You can’t burn a cross but you can burn an American flag.

You CAN put a cross in a jar of urine and bill the taxpayers.

You CAN’T protest the decision to use your tax dollars to fund said photo of a cross in a jar of urine.

If this prof put the noose their herself, she would only need to pull it out of a handbag and slip it there as she opened the door. To a video camera at the end of a hall it would just seem to magically appear.

MIND FREAK!

I have one question regarding the sudden expolsion of nooses - or is it neese? It’s a question the police should be asking, even though it’s probably not even a matter for the police to take up.

Qui bono?

Think about it.

Qui bono?

Columbia does, insofar as it benefits them to look good in they eyes of people who fall for such race-baiting melodramma. It benefits anyone and everyone who hate whites. It will earn them an audience with the new president because they have "cred" in the ghetto.

Sorry about my spelling. I wrote “Cui” first, but rejected it as not sufficiently Latin as “qui.”

Cui Bono: Who benefits?

Sort of the mantra of every experienced homicide dick when opening an investigation.

Right — for the longest time this phrase threw me —

cui is dative (indirect object)
bono could be dative (indirect object) or ablative (with).

It’s not “to what good?” but rather “to whom with good?”

NYPD investigators have reviewed half of the 56 hours of security tapes confiscated from Columbia University after a noose was found on a black professor's door - but still have no solid leads, officials said on Friday.

Talk about a sure sign of covering for the suspect that may be a fellow esteemed professor. There is no need to report that review of the tapes is half done and yet no leads yet. Noy only that but if this is on old school surveillance tapes then one can fast forward until a frame shows the noose (or someone placing it IF this is from a camera that actually covered the door) then back up. If it is a new fangled surveillance setup that is caught on a hard drive then the search would be even faster. If the true perp is on this tape then the results could have been done in three hours tops.

This shows the classic signs of panning out as a coverup-drawback because either the victim was actually the perpetrator or the perpetrator is an esteemed member of the multicultural/pc correct crowd.

its most likely a hoax, happens a lot at college campuses. 'awareness' is their excuse, but awareness of what?... hoaxes??

she probably wouldn't even be charged with filing a false report

It's a piece of rope with a knot in it.

Let it go. Go solve a murder or something.

I won’t argue with your literal translation, but the usual free translation is “who benefits?”

It’s often the guiding concept in many criminal investigations, in particular homicides.
