Damaged LGBT Books in Lamont Not Result of Hate Crime, Dean Says

“But upon an investigation by HUPD, it was revealed Monday morning that “our own library personnel” had accidentally spilled a bottle, containing what was reported to be urine, that had been found on the shelf, according to Hammonds. Harvard College Library plans to replace all 36 damaged books as soon as possible, she added.”

Sounds like a real “pisser” of a crime.

Quick! Call the WAAAAMBULANCE!

“our own library personnel” had accidentally spilled a bottle, containing what was reported to be urine, that had been found on the shelf, according to Hammonds.

An open bottle of urine was "left" sitting on a shelf in the Pervert section. Right.

Yano, I go to libraries a lot, and I don’t see a lot of bottles of urine.

Looks like a “hate crime” done by the “victim”, and now everyone is backpedaling when the story unraveled.

From the link:

“Faculty of Arts and Sciences spokesman Jeff Neal wrote in an e-mail that it remains unclear why a bottle of urine was stowed in the library, adding that the spill was reported by the library employee—the same person who caused the spill, according to his understanding—and cleaned up the same day that it occurred.”

HAHAHAHASHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

I'll bet some druggie student/staffer is upset that the nice, ‘clean’ urine specimen they were supposed to pick up got spilled before they could retrieve it to turn in.

Right. "Now where did I leave my sample for the doc?" Oops.

Not buying it. Students shouldn't be buying replacement books either. Make the guilty employee replace the texts.
