Student’s Reaction to Trump Win: ‘Suck It Up, Pussies.’ Police Are Investigating This Hate Crime.
Reason ^ | 11/23/16 | Robby Soave

At Edgewood College, police are investigating a post-it-note that was deemed a "hate crime" by college officials.

The post-it-note says "Suck it up, pussies!" Whoever wrote it also drew a winking, tongue-out smiley face, like this:

;P

The message is evidently one student's response to the Madison, Wisconsin, college's overwhelming dejection following Donald Trump's election to the presidency.

College Vice President Tony Chambers sent a letter to campus condemning this "act of cowardly hatred" and "intimidation." He wrote:

A group of cross-functional college staff representing campus security, student conduct, human resources, Title IX enforcement, and diversity and inclusion measures convened Tuesday morning to discuss how to address the hateful message. This group determined that the message constituted a Hate Crime…

College officials informed the Madison police, and now the cops are investigating.

This kid’s life is probably ruined over this. It’s not over folks, in fact it’s just beginning.

RE Liberal fascism:

Absolutely of course it is. Like Limbaugh said - when libs are out of power they’re comical. When they get IN power, they’re downright dangerous.

And add Psychotic to it as well.

And if people don’t stand up to them and get in THEIR faces, they’ll just run over you at every opportunity.

Kind of like the schoolyard bully; he’ll mess with you right up until the day you show up the Louisville Slugger and break his knees in front of the whole schoolyard.

When I was in college, the problem would have been handled by the custodian who would have crumpled it up and thrown it away.”

When I was in college we didn’t have Post-It Notes and certainly didn’t write notes to a human being using this phrase. The word was reserved only for our four legged cat animals.

If someone didn’t agree with us about something that was really important, we just didn’t bother with them any more. Obviously we spent too much time studying, learning and going to class which was what our parents paid for us to do.

“Don’t these folks notice that they are acting like idiots?”

Most idiots don’t.

LOL...somebody redacted "Pussies."

Unredacted below (for those with strong constitutions).

"Violates every vale this institution has at its core." -- What value does a simpering, quivering squish of jello have?

OMG seriously... Can any freepers recall the work environment ( especially before PC ) when insults/co-mingled with swearing was the norm especially when you were the brunt of it? It was part of the camaraderie! I'll never forget in an engineering environment 2 alpha male young engineers one certiquing the others design and saying "No you Cheese-***k!" I totally lost it I laughed so hard..

Can you imagine one of these snow flakes being on the receiving end of that? Meltdown!

The police have no business doing this. It is unconstitutional to question or arrest anyone for what is clearly freedom of speech.

The police chief needs to put a STOP to the investigation.
