Black Teens Sent Themselves Racist Threats to Get Out of School

WALL -- In a complicated hoax designed to get themselves excused from school, two high school freshmen sent racist and threatening notes to themselves and to three other black students, said Deputy First Assistant Prosecutor Ken Keller.

The girls, both 16-year-old township residents, were each charged with one count of conspiracy, three counts of bias intimidation and one count of making a false report to police.

It just goes to show one is never too young to learn how to play the race card for fun, profit, and other entitlements.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Harbison said she is glad authorities solved the crime and hope they plan to punish her daughter "to the fullest extent of the law."

What a wonderful reaction! Hopefully this girl appreciates what a great mother she has.

The girls will be released when diagnosed as having TBS (Tawana Brawley Syndrome)

Should white kids do the same thing, its a hate crime.

Which is the only reason such resources
brought to bear.   Now that it is seen
no whites will be convicted, the police
regret the man hours spent on it.

What a good mama. Unfortunately, although it appears that she tried really hard, I am sure she is wondering where she went wrong. SHE didn't. It's the JJ's of the world who are warping the minds of those kids.

[Pagey]

That's Right!

"One of the most unfortunate things about this is that there were couple hundred man hours spent on this case in order to determine it was just a hoax," Keller said.
I hope all " couple hundred " man hours is charged to the parents of all 5 girls too;surely this must be a possibility.

LaTweeta and Chataqua don't like school. School's white.

I am shocked!

A parent in modern America actually had the decency to admit her kids were at fault and not claim that they suffered from 'childhood anguish, perpetual day dreaming, hypnotic subliminal messages or other hogwash. And did not even try to petition for their innocence with statements like 'he/she is a nice kid because he/she helps me with my laundry and calls grandma once a week!'

Wow, a parent willing to take responsibility and hold her child accountable! What is the world coming to? Next we will be hearing of parents who have dinner with their kids!

Ai yi yi! The horror!

If there isn't any racism, some people will invent it. Here in Iowa, we had a dental student pull a similar stunt at the University of Iowa. There were candlelight vigil's and all sorts of things. This moron claimed to have received racist e-mails -- and the computer science dept. is top notch, so they immediately found out who sent them. She did. Couldn't hack the program, so she sent bomb threats and so on.

When I first heard about it, my spidey sense tingled - I knew it was a hoax.

The next brainiac claimed racist spray paint on his car. An alert auto body paint shop pointed out that this same fellow (a "minister") had been asking for quotes on getting his mercedes repainted. He soon folded under questioning.

Hate crime!

Hehe.

[BlessingInDisguise]

She looks exactly as I imagined.

Ah yes. The black girls that cried wolf. Next time the Klu Klux Klan is going to burn a cross in their yard, and everyone's gonna think it's a hoax.

[Old Professer]

Is that 1st degree or 2nd degree "bias intimidation?"

[Jhoffa_]

Harbison said she is glad authorities solved the crime and hope they plan to punish her daughter "to the fullest extent of the law."

After all, she said, a harsh punishment is what she would have wanted for someone else's child who committed such a crime.

"This crime was done out of ignorance and selfishness," she

BRAVO! Take a bow Miss Harbison.

I greatly admire your principled position on this.

(Because I would do a susan smith on a kid of mine who pulled a stunt like that.. It's nice to see someone who also believes the rules aren't just for "other people")

[mafree]

Geez- if I didn't want to go to school I'd have just played sick.

Aww, c'mon, share a few of your best!
