Professor Gets Year in Prison for Fake 'Hate Crime'
NewsMax ^ | Dec 15, 2004 | Limbacher

Remember that left-wing egghead at Claremont McKenna College who vandalized her own car and then cried "hate crime"? Today she got sentenced to a year in the slammer.

Kerri Dunn, who is, naturally, a professor of psychology, falsely claimed that her Honda was spray-painted with racist and anti-Semitic slurs. She had faced up to three years in a California prison for filing a false police report and two felony counts of attempted insurance fraud.

Get this: Miss Dunn staged the criminal hoax and launched a headline-grabbing spree of "hate crime" hysteria (as opposed to all those "love crimes" being committed out there) while speaking at a campus forum on ... racial tolerance. She'll learn more about that than she bargained for when she's sent up the river.

I agree with you. My post was meant as a sarcastic comment on the numerous prison rape comments generated on many crime threads. I don't find them funny, and find it disturbing that so many people seem to be amused by the idea of rape.

Where in my post did I ever say not to post anything... I asked that you not come here and try to be arbitor of what others are saying, and I also stated that if you were offended by comments talk to the mods...

Never did I ask you to stifle your opinion, but the way it is written does come of preachy, and I was only commenting that, that is not well recieved...

The reason Mods don't pull a lot of those comments is they usually are able to tell when it is done in humor or as blowing off steam...

I am just saying that we get to much of the... Thou shall not do...... kind of posts and they are not well recieved... never (point it out if I did) did I ask you to supress you comment. Opine if you must..

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad she didn't get a bye on this dastardly deed.

Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry suspected that his dentist converted to Judaism just so he could be free to tell Catholic and Jewish jokes? It sounds like this Dunn chick converted just so she could scream "hate crimes" as both a Catholic and a Jew.

I didn't know Catholics (or any Christians for that matter) were allowed to scream hate crime.

Well, if you're a Catholic you can claim to have been molested by a priest, right? Libs hate priests.

Interesting how no other stories have been posted at this point concerning the hate crime victory.

MIDI - DAISY

While she's warping students' minds at CMC...she claimed she's a victim and said "Whoa is me"

Someone slashed her tires and painted her car...she said its a hate crime...Kerri went too far

They have...the goods on that *itch...spray can...she forgot to ditch

It is funny what the leftists pull
They are always staging stunts and slinging bull

It's a real who Dunn it...maybe not
It was just one more pathetic whackjob...plot
But, too bad for her, two witnesses saw what she did...she's busted

Her *ss got hit by the door
On her way out...now her next job's scrubbing floors

Someone slashed her tires and painted her car...she said its a hate crime...Kerri went too far

"most Texans I know are good with their history, pard"

I missed Texas history in school. My knowlege of Texas history is pretty well limited to personal accounts handed down by family members. A lot of that was lost during the civil war which devasted my family. So many men never returned.

That would be Catholic against Catholic, not a hate crime, and anyway, hate crimes can't be committed against Christians, we're not a protected group by liberal standards.

I am a Revolutionary War buff. In my pursuit of that as a hobby, I have learned an interesting generalization that is certainly true for me: RevWar people ignore the Civil War and vice versa.

About 16,000 patriots died in the RevWar and over 600,000 Americans died in the Civil War. Tragic.

Sorry to hear that it had such an awful impact on your ancestral line.

First Scott gets death, now this. I think jurors are reflecting the re-election of GWB

I wish this woman well in prison. I hope nothing untoward happens to her. I think it will be enough that she will have to live with the ignominy of her treachery for the rest of her life. It's up to us to make sure that no-one ever forgets the sort of person she is.

One year suspended sentence, correct?

All she has to do to stay out of jail is to not fake another hate crime for a the remainder of the probationary period?

Unfortunately, it looks like the only reason she's getting any jail time is for insurance fraud. If she'd paid to have her car repainted herself instead of filing a claim with her insurance company, she'd probably still be "teaching" today and be a hero martyr of the academic left.
