Penn State Investigates Hate Graffiti

May 01, 2008 04:59 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

An infrequent yet steady stream of hate graffiti has been reported on white boards and doors in a Penn State dorm this year, the Daily Collegian reports. Campus police are making a final end-of-the-school-year push for more info on the graffiti, which have been about race and sexual orientation.

Perpetrators could be charged with criminal mischief for defacing property, or harassment if the remarks are directed toward an individual.

Probably Done By A Black Person Again

This is probably the work of one of the minorities in question. Just like that Jewish Lesbian professor who got caught vandalizing her own car, or the black student in Texas who got caught defacing his dorm room door with hate-graffiti.

Unfortunately, they let the black kid off the hook... but if they found that a white boy had done it, he would still be in prison and most certainly kicked out of school.

Stupid PC in action.
