Fake Hate Crime at Harvard?

Every time a splashy new hate crime happens on a college campus, you can’t help but remember all the previous hate crimes that turned out to be fakes. Last month, someone apparently urinated on a collection of books related to gay marriage at the Harvard library. It was immediately investigated as a possible hate crime. Now the investigation has revealed that a library staffer “accidentally” spilled a bottle of urine on the books:
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
Yeah, you know, that sort of thing happens all the time. Wait, what…? A university spokesman is as puzzled as I am:
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.
Why that reminds me of just the other day when I visited my local library with a fresh stool sample and, well, I can’t say more as the situation is still under investigation. But trust me, s#@t happens.
