RE: security videos & the noose-on-door professor at Columbia, time seems to have stopped. My searches show no news stories dated later than October 12th.
Funny, isn’t it, especially since at the time, Columbia and Ms. Noose-on-door were acting like it was the most earthshakingly awful news since 9/11. Then amazingly quickly, their interest in catching and publicly identifying the perpetrator dropped to zero.
Spread the word.
Protect yourself from the coming hate crime “set-up’s”
Yep. Funny. Like George Thorogood says, “Everybody funny, now Columbia funny, too.”
A week after a reported campus hate crime drew national attention, sparked protests and shut down the prestigious Claremont Colleges, police on Wednesday called the incident a hoax staged by a professor who slashed tires, shattered windows and spray-painted racist graffiti on her own car.
Claremont McKenna College psychology professor Kerri Dunn, who had told police that her car was vandalized as she spoke at a March 9 forum on racism, was identified by two eyewitnesses as the person who damaged the auto, authorities said Wednesday.
She was not arrested, but Claremont Police Lt. Stan Van Horn said the case would be sent to the Los Angeles County district attorney for review and that the likely charge would be filing a false police report, a misdemeanor. The FBI said she might face more serious felony charges of lying to federal investigators.
Campus leaders last week had condemned the vandalism as a hate crime, shut down the Claremont consortium of colleges for a day of anti-hate rallies and called in FBI investigators. The police contention that Dunn staged the incident triggered a wave of anger against her Wednesday and fears that students would become cynical about racism.
