so, what did the security video show?
More victim mentality.
Someone in my former office evidently got bored and flung a letter-opener into the ceiling tile where it stuck, like the common pencil thing.
The black guy in our office demanded an investigation, and got one, because he felt threatened. It must be awesome to have that kind of power.
If this is a Hate Crime, then charge the person who did it, no matter the race.
...Columbia's Teachers College turned over the security camera images in the noose investigation Thursday under pressure from police.Browne said police officials were "disappointed and surprised" at a delay caused when the school refused to turn over the tapes without a court order...
Whenever I first saw this story, the first thing I thought was hoax................
The prof who got the noose on her door is in a lawsuit with another prof from the same psych dep’t. There may be more here than some suspect.
By inviting the likes of Imanutjob from Iran, Columbia has opened a Pandora’s box. If Iranian bigotry & racism is allowed a forum to speak, why not other racists? Columbia made it clear that ALL views are welcome no matter how sick, twisted, or false they are, & now they should honor that commitment. Doesn't Columbia respect ALL points of view?
I see no difference between a noose & a threat to wipe Israel off the map - both are death threats. If free speech includes the one, then it must include the other.
So, I hope Columbia gets a belly full until it makes them barf!
I wish the article had fleshed that out just a little bit. If we also had the raw numbers of black hoaxers (e.g. Duke rape hoax) and white hoaxers (e.g. Susan Smith (?)), we would have a better idea of which group is more prone to the scam.
