A University of Illinois student was charged with a hate crime on Tuesday for allegedly placing a noose in a campus residence hall.

Andrew Smith, a 19-year-old sophomore, was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and committing a hate crime, which is a felony, after students found a noose hanging inside an elevator over the weekend, according to university police.

News of the finding began to make rounds on social media as students expressed their outrage. That's when a woman who said she was with Smith when he tied the noose reportedly called campus police to report him.

Intersectionality converts hate crimes to ‘raising awareness.’

From another article:

“The university says “housing professionals are on staff and available to students to make sure everyone knows how to access support services if they feel overwhelmed” by the incident.

Indulgence breeds weakness.

They did use the pronoun “he”, but yes, caught in the act. False flag, as are the vast majority of these incidents.

If you were to believe the hysterical race hustlers, you would think that at least 100 million people in the US have a little a Hitler alter to worship at. Any thinking person can see how ridiculous this is.

“if they feel overwhelmed”

I am sure incidents like this are popular reasons for being late with a term paper.

Interesting that they had NO PROBLEM with felon charges, since it was a honky doing the noose. But when someone from Lahood does it, they just let them walk...

Is leaving a bed sheet on a front step also a Hate Crime? Now that Tech is beginning to be able to actually read thoughts, will accusees be required to be hooked up to determine whether their thoughts constitute hate crimes? The concept of Hate Crimes is right on the edge of Thought Crime and will spill over by and by, maybe by-and-by next year.

A felony? Give me a break. Should not be any level of crime. United police states of america is what we’ve become.

I personally am offended that today’s kids can’t even tie a proper noose.

Almost all of the noose crimes have been vacated because the perp was a person of color. I think they just got excited because they finally got a white boy. Dox, demonize, destroy.
Hate crimes are thought crimes because we don’t know why the noose was there. Universities have been stepping into quicksand for so long that they aren’t sure what to do next. They live in echo chambers that are outside the realm of reason.
It’s like when the local newspaper printed an editorial condemning the display of the Confederate flag that included a picture of the Confederate flag.
