The story was eerily familiar. A minority female assaulted at or near a college campus. Protests are held and charges are made before all the facts are in. And the result was the same: hoax.
In the latest case the hoax was a supposed assault on a Muslim student at Elmhurst college in Illinois. First the initial report of this "assault" in the Chicago Sun-Times with this breathless sub-head: "HATE CRIME: Slur, Swastikas scrawled in her locker." Now the October 11 report without the slightest bit of skepticism entering reporter Dan Rozek's account:
A Muslim student attacked at Elmhurst College in what school officials described as a hate crime had found anti-Islamic slurs and a swastika scrawled in her locker a week earlier, police and students said Friday.
The 19-year-old sophomore told police a masked, male attacker struck her in the head with a handgun about 8:30 p.m. Thursday after she entered a restroom in the school's Schaible Science Center. She suffered a concussion.
Threatening graffiti -- "Kill the Muslims" -- was written on a mirror in the restroom, students and police said.
How convenient of the attacker to leave a hate message on the mirror. Of course, ace reporter Rozek is swallowing this completely despite a rash of similar hate crimes that turn out to be hoaxes that have sprung up on college campuses around the country.
Earlier Thursday, the victim had spoken at a demonstration called to denounce the anti-Islamic slurs and swastika she had discovered on Oct. 2 in her locker, school officials and students said. Among the slurs was the phrase "Die Muslims."

PING!
why not just call crime, CRIME! i'm so sick of p.c. crap i could vomit.
I hope she gets the 3 yeas, it serves her right!
Professional neurotic victims, inventing and claiming hate crimes...
...and politically correct politicians and law enforcement falling all over themselves believing them.
The resulting level of anger nationwide is rising, and nobody seems to notice.
I agree, if by the "campus clowns", you mean the administrators and law enforcement.
No credible corroboration, no investigation!
Mugshot please. And not with a burqa either.
“I hope she gets the 3 yeas, it serves her right!”
Not a chance, I’m sorry to say.
So when does the FBI start investigating violations of the civil rights of the Duke students on account of their race?
(I’ll bet dollars to doughnuts the feds would have been there in a heart beat if the colors were reversed and the players being railroaded by the DA had been black...)
I don’t want her to get three years. I want somebody to dump her in iran where she practice her religion for real and pay the real consequences of a muslim woman in a female hating society.
It seems there was a pretty good investigation in this case, they arrested the perp within a week.
What’s upsetting to me about this article is that I live a few suburbs over from Elmhurst College, which is part of DuPage County, one of the most conservative counties in the state of Illinois. And this kind of PC baloney is taking place way too close to where I live. Oakbrook is an incredibly wealthy DuPage County town (about 25 miles west of Chicago); it is where McDonald’s corporate headquarters is located. Many rich folk live in Oakbrook. Lots of doctors, lawyers, engineers, and businessmen, etc. live there. There is also a contingent of fairly wealthy Muslims in the town. It wouldn’t surprise me if this girl is the daughter of one of them. Even this small private College in a conservative suburb is now being infected with political correctness and racial divisiveness. Most disheartening.
“Even this small private College in a conservative suburb is now being infected with political correctness..”
I recently visited my son’s Alma Mater ( pricy Jesuit high school) and the first student I met was an Ahmedinejad look-alike. Needless to say that the school lost all my financial support and that of my son’s. I would suggest that parents with kids in Catholic schools would consider doing the same. Perhaps these schools will get the pictures.
Very un-Christian of me huh? Why in the hell should I support someone whose children may likely hurt, or kill my grandchildren?
