FAKING THE HATE
You know that story about minority students being evacuated from a university because of racially motivated hate mail? Jesse Jackson even showed up to harangue college administrators.
Well, a student has been arrested–A black female student who faked the threat because she wanted to go home:
A student who was apparently homesick was arrested and confessed to sending threatening letters that frightened fellow blacks at a small private university, police said Tuesday.
There never was a serious threat at Trinity International University, police Lt. Ron Price said Tuesday.
He said the woman, who was arrested and was expected to be charged on Tuesday, was unhappy at the Christian school and wanted to convince her parents it was too dangerous for her to stay.
“It’s kind of a sad story, actually,” Price said. Her name was not immediately released.
Interesting that the headline of the story–”Woman Arrested for Black Student Threats”–does not mention the race of the hoaxer, but does mention the race of the targeted students. Wonder what the Rev. Jackson will say now.
Update: Reuters (for once) doesn’t whitewash the story.
