Black UAlbany Students who said they were racial victims - face charges

Albany

The black female University at Albany students who said they were victims of a racially motivated attack on a CDTA bus will face charges, sources with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday.

The nature of the minor criminal charges was not immediately clear. The women, who were issued appearance tickets, are scheduled to appear in City Court on Monday.

"No arrests have been made," said Frank Wiley, chief of UAlbany's police department. "If that happens, we will inform the public."

Two of the three women who made the accusations have not been identified, and their names were redacted from the police report released to the media.

A third woman, Asha Burwell, has been identified but attempts to reach her were unsuccessful Wednesday night.

The women had initially said they were the victims of a Jan. 30 attack that was preceded by racial insults and allegedly involved at least 10 to 12 white men and women passengers.

One woman told university police that several men kicked her after she fell to the floor.

But doubts about the story came quickly, and Albany County District Attorney David Soares, in an attempt to defuse rising tension amid national attention about the students' story, invited select and influential members of the city's black community, along with university officials, to view video evidence from the bus.

In light of this potential hoax, the campus went on to treat this as true holding diversity lectures with the Black College President. Hillary CLintoon tweeted about how horrible race relations are - before the alleged hoax was revealed.

Talk about playing the race card...sheesh.

It’s a game with deadly consequences. Rank-and-file black people, particularly poor people, tend to believe every rumor like this. They see a “vast right-wing conspiracy” out to get them and their beloved President. And the Dem-driven media continually throw fuel on the flames.

Too often now, we are seeing many many instances of these “false” claims, like he had his hands up, NOT.

The media needs to take a deep breath and put their journalist hats on and take their activist hats off. They need to approach all these stories with SKEPTICISM.

I hope the students lose any scholarships they have. Aren’t there still clauses in scholarships that criminal activity can cause their revocation?

With the video evidence right in their faces, the black and white radical class will persist in claiming the incident really happened as alleged, and that the racist white power structure refuses to believe black voices. “Just because they made it up doesn’t mean it isn’t true...”, works for those who believe there is no Truth, only what is useful.

The nature of the minor criminal charges......

Major catastrophic universal condemnation with federal judicial action when its rumored that whites discriminate against blacks.

Minor criminal charges and names redacted when blacks lie and falsly accuse whites of discrimination.

GOT IT !!

I’d say “nope” to that conclusion. What they have been taught is a “conservative Republican conspiracy”.

How is that changed?

Not enough-they should face the same level of consequences and outrage as any potential victims of their lies would have faced if their lies had not been caught.

Might I also say that Pubbies have performed terribly at negating “the unca-tom stereotype”, simply because (and, yet, even here on FR) we assume that any “person of color” is a Dhimmicrat.
My “neighbor” is an American who happens to be black...why is that so frikkin difficult?

Unless they are named Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, or Ben Carson???

"...Rank-and-file black people, particularly poor people, tend to believe every rumor like this..."

I think the term is "Credulous". Reminds me of the leprechaun up a tree in some ghetto a few years back. The local people really wanted to get their hands on that leprechaun. Grown people.
