Hmmm.... He’s a 19-year old sophomore math major with a 3.79 GOA and enough credits to graduate this year. This does not “compute” as a racist hate crime. The kid should demand a jury trial.

The guy looks like an LGBTQ fruit; was this a leftist hoax? I think the hate-crime charge would be pretty flimsy unless they can determine that this act was part of a pattern, AND that it was deliberately intended to be a threat, rather than just a lame joke. Also, it doesn’t sound very premediated - according to the story he just happened to find the rope somewhere.

Gee, I wonder what pronoun Andrew/Andrea he demands to be addressed with? Betchya his/her defense will be he/she did it to provoke a “seriuos dialog” about race. It’s all sh*ts and giggles unitl the SJW’s have felony convictions on their records. And if it thinks it’s “non racism” schtick will ingratiate itself with it’s fellow inmates, it’s got another thing coming. And when it gets out, a felony means a ot more than not being alowed to vote or legally own firearms. What a sucky life it will have to lok forward to.

Residence hall staff members reported seeing the noose in an elevator in a public part of the building

Would a square knot have been a crime?

Of course. Square knots, also called reef knots, were used on ships that transported slaves.

This is a print done by Jacques Callot in 1633 titled, "The Miseries and Misfortunes of War."

The bodies depicted hanging in the tree all were white, all hanged for being on the wrong side of the 30 Years War.



Despite their delusions to the contrary, blacks don't own lynching any more than they own slavery.

More than 4,000 racist lynchings occurred in 12 Southern states between 1877 and 1950, according to the Equal Justice Initiative.

Versus more than 70,000 hangings during the reign of King Henry VIII and Queen Mary I, just for a little perspective. England had a population of less than 3 million at the time but doesn't claim to own the noose as a symbol of oppression.

The largest mass lynching in American history was of Italian immigrants...by Irish Catholics in New Orleans.
