2007’s top unsolved mysteries

By Michelle Malkin  •  December 31, 2007 02:41 PM

My nominee for the year’s number one unsolved mystery: Who hung the noose at Columbia University?

Still no suspects. Still no release of security video.

A look back at an ABC/GMA interview with the Columbia professor who was the alleged hate crime target:

And here’s a reminder of the innocent professor who was unfairly smeared as the possible perpetrator.

My second nominee for 2007’s top unsolved mystery: Who defaced the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington?

Still no suspects. Reward money for info leading to an arrest is still unclaimed.

    We’ll find proof of Bigfoot’s existence before we know what really happened in these instances.

    The memorial vandalization still makes me go into a rage when I think about it.

    Move along, nothing to see, we have video but it’s more secret than anything the NSA has, no stalking, it’s not who you think it might be, we have no clues, no beef jerkey anywhere on the tapes, can’t have the public help us, no DNA, no, nothing, will get back to you, it’s not the colleague we first tried to smear…

    While the incident at the Memorial is certainly disgusting, I think the incident with the noose was worse. Simply because in their quest to claim victim status and become the cause celebre for their socialist agenda, they were plainly willing to sacrifice another person. (Especially obnoxious considering that the other person’s position indicate that they are likely every bit as involved with confused by the same indoctrination so prevalent in Academia.

    We could also add some others to the list like

    Political Global Warming … it is a mystery and has not been solved right?

    Our missing border fence?

    Exactly how the Dhimmis “support” our troops?

    Alas, so many mysteries, so little time.

    Being invisible on security tapes is a handy attribute.

    I agree. This case strikes me as one of the strangest NYC incidents this past year, and it made the NYPD look very foolish.

    I’m not sure but I might have found the fence!… If you look at the timing & the amount of labor & materials used it almost exactly matches John Edwards new house!

    The noose… awww, I’m gonna be mean spirited & blame the victim :)

    Don’t worry, as soon as the writers strike ends we’ll get the whole noose incident straightened out via an episode of CSI: NY.

    Here’s a mystery: Given that the normal IQ distribution would show that 84% of the population has an IQ in the “normal” to “above normal” range, how do we end up with about 50% of people being dumb enough to support liberal democrats?

    I would like to know where the disappearing news about our war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan have gone. It appears we must be winning because I no longer see media reports about how we are being defeated over there.

    This thing with the noose at Columbia is beginning to smell worse. Don’t you think if there was ANY real evidence that someone had done this (besides the professor herself), it would’ve come out by now?

    Doesn’t it seem strange that no one is in a huge hurry to get this solved? Not even the race hustlers? You would think they’d be on this day and night.

    I’m wondering if they’re now wishing it would go away and people would forget about it. I’m hoping someone will stay on top of this to get to the bottom of things. Whether it was a planted noose by the prof herself, or someone else.

    Yeah, and where is that video anyway?

    Liberals have made hatred trendy. And authorities will press any charge they can find against a conservative and walk away with praises, while real criminals walk our streets with impunity. Case in point? Those gangbangers from Louisiana. The lawyer from Chicago. And Hillary Clinton with $3M in unexplained campaign contributions.

    I just read, #20, on the jerk of the year thread that the IL States Attorney
    General is going to prosecute that slime attorney. He showed up in court
    late with all kinds of pathetic excuses and got reamed by the judge.

    Professor Madonna Constantine is the one that put up the noose and her performance in the interview is primal fascia evidence for her guilt. One does not need a lie detector to see that she had an agenda.

    Where where the park police while all the graffiti was being applied?

    Where is the video surveillance of the Memorial?

    Better add Bhutto assassination to this list – latest news is that she had a report detailing election rigging and more which she was due to hand over to US just hours before her death. Video of the assassination clearly show the shooter and the shots and her falling into the car a second *before* the explosion. Doctors on autopsy are all govt employees except one, who said the autopsy is basically complete BS.

    What I want to know is WHY the US govt has so quickly sided with Musharraf regarding this whole thing. This is shaking my confidence more than anything else in the last 7 years regarding the Bush government.

    lol. My father was the first in my family to hear that phrase – on a NYC marxist radio station (WBAI) in the late 1980’s. A gaggle of militant, marxist black hosts always used the term whenever they were trying to politically isolate white folks. Many Asians were quick to distance themselves from this pseudo-fraternity, especially after the LA riots. From what I have been hearing out of California, many Latinos have been canceling their memberships as well.

    It seems the only “People of color” left are, militant marxist blacks…who I suspect were the only “people of color” all along.
