GETTYSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A Gettysburg College student is no longer enrolled at the college amid an investigation into a racial slur being scratched into another student’s body.

Last week, the college confirmed that a slur had been scratched into the student’s body with a plastic or ceramic tool and that those involved were not participating in swim team activities.

Hoax or not? Why no police report? Perhaps fear of charges for filing a police report, or just goodwill?

Hoax...........................

I’m surprised we’re not hearing about stories like this every hour leading into Election Day.

[Organic Panic]

We are left to assume the victim is black and perp is white though no mention is made. What was the slur? Usually the press is giddy to report these things.

[Scrambler Bob]

Who holds still to get a racial slur scratched onto them?

What was the slur?

Was it an “N”?

or a swastica?

or some swirl, interpreted to be ‘allah’?

[liberalh8ter]

Conveniently, the name of the student who is “no longer enrolled” isn’t mentioned. I think the next time a story comes out where a white person did something horrible to a black person and it’s later revealed to be a hoax, a load of white people should class action everyone involved. News outlet, hoaxer, anyone involved.

Oh my. I do hope it was brief, preferably with abbreviations. Scratching a slur into someone can be both painful and time consuming. And neatness counts!

[Verginius Rufus]

Those involved were not participating in swim team activities.

So it would have been OK to do this if they were participating in swim team activities?

[teeman8r]

it clearly says ninny... how dare you assume it is the other n word... besides, do you know how hard it is to carve into something that keeps moving, you ninny.

Aldo the Apache felt the same way.

[proxy_user]

Not participating in swim team activities? I’d like to see them do that while swimming!

Tried that once... Didn't get past the "h" in "Froschfresser."

My victim was squirming too much, and besides, I ran out of room.

I’m assuming the opposite. Since neither Scratcher or
Scratchee is named, I say the perpetrator is likely to be black and victim white.

[Mark was here]

Pictures or it never happened.

[No name given]

And sue everyone involved into poverty.

[Col Frank Slade]

Is there any record of the victim receiving medical attention ?

[mass55th]

Sounds like Al Sharpton’s Tawana Brawley case.

[Libloather]

At least a complaint was filed with the NAALCP. When do the riots start?

[egfowler3]

They only reported it to local & state NAACP. Yeah, its probably a hoax.
