Police said the owner, visiting psychology professor Kerri Dunn

I personally have known two psychologists as friends in my life. Both were nuttier than fruitcakes. I don't know why people like that are drawn to that profession.

I tried to find the earlier thread to no avail.

Many FReepers thought the prof did it herself, now there are witnesses!

Unless the witnesses are part of the plot...(Phillip K. Dick paranoia seting in...)

The incident prompted campuswide rallies ....

Oh, the gullible minions of the Kingdom of Stupidity are so predictable--and amusing.

Think of the young Conservatives incidents like this breed. I would be pretty mad if I went marching for "equal justice", to find the person involved was playing on my emotions and taking advantage of hate crime laws.

My Mom always said that people with emotional problems often become psychologists and psychiatrists so they can figure out what was wrong with them. My husband had mental illness so I met plenty of proof she was right.

I heard on local radio yesterday that even though she stands accused of vandalizing her own car, the college is going ahead with plans to pay for the damage and a rental car.

I forget what book I read it in but the following quote has always stuck in my mind:

"Psychology is the science of creating words for things that don't exist."

If I was a tuition paying student at Claremont, I would consider suing this smart professor and her apparently wonderfully supportive employers for having deprived me of a week's worth of paid education while the campus turned itself into a moshpit of liberal self-flagelation.

There are victims of "hate crime" at Claremont. They are the students who are there to study and not have their business disrupted by the invidious manipulation of neurotic leftists screaming LOOK AT ME!!!

More on our lovely perfesser:
Police: Prof. faked hate crime

Despite the fear and anger felt by students and other members of the community over the vandalism, Dunn won't likely be charged with a hate crime, police said.

"It has to be directed toward an individual or a specific group of individuals, so this doesn't meet the criteria for a hate crime," Van Horn said.

Gann said that while Dunn's apparent role in the incident came as a shock and surprise to the community, she agreed with the Police Department.

"The police came to the conclusion that it was not a hate crime, so we will not call it a hate crime," she said.

The FBI, which helped investigate the crime, also agreed that the incident is not a hate crime.

"We were involved because of the potential for this being a civil rights violation," said Laura Bosley, spokeswoman with the FBI. "If she, in fact, fabricated the entire story, there's no hate crime."

Dieter Dammeier, an attorney for the Claremont police union, said however that Dunn could be charged with a hate crime.

"Other people saw it and the whole idea behind (the law) is to stop the public dissemination of such hatred," he said.

The issue of freedom of speech also comes into play, though, he added. Dunn may not be charged with a hate crime if her intent was not to express personal hate against blacks and Jews.

Dunn's sister, Colleen, a New Jersey resident, declined to comment on her sister's case, saying only: "She's wonderful."

Dunn has had a few minor brushes with the law while living and working in Nebraska. Dunn attended the University of Nebraska and taught at Nebraska-Wesleyan University in 2001. There was no record of disciplinary action against her at Nebraska-Wesleyan University, said Sara Olson, spokeswoman with the college.

Dunn was arrested by the Lincoln Police Department on September 29, 2000 on suspicion of shoplifting, possessing stolen property, refusing to comply with a police officer's orders among other charges, records show. All of the charges, which are misdemeanors, were dropped except for the shoplifting charge. She was found guilty and fined $200, according to criminal records.

In September 1999, Dunn was cited on suspicion of driving on a suspended license and failing to appear for a court hearing. She was found guilty of the first charge and paid a $50 fine, records show.

Staff writer Mira Katz contributed to this story.

Dunn's lawyer said the accusation has damaged her reputation and emotional health.

It should 'damage' her physical freedom for the same term as the maximum that would be allowed for someone commiting the 'hate crime' against her.

It's amazing the hate that racist acts can cause, so idiots like this should be called on the carpet. But since she is a minority she won't even get her hand slapped and that is a travesty of justice considering that she is the racist trying to cause racial unrest. What a Bi+ch!
