Offer Upgrade  User ID: 292560  United States04/30/2008 03:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | THE HORROR A University of North Dakota student was charged in an incident that helped drive a Jewish freshman from his dormitory. The Grand Forks County state Attorney's Office issued charges Tuesday afternoon against Spencer Garness, who allegedly wrote "Scott is a Jew" in ice cream in a campus residence hall elevator, according to news reports. Garness was charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. North Dakota law carries no special designation for hate crimes. The incident was one of a series of anti-Semitic acts that freshman Scott Lebovitz says contributed to his decision to leave his dormitory earlier this month. In February, a swastika was found on a wall near his room. Lebovitz says he was the target of anti-Semitic taunts from fellow students for months. A number of anti-Semitic incidents have been reported at the university in recent weeks. Jewish students have accused the university of dragging its feet in response and refusing to characterize the incidents as "hate crimes."

User ID: 425698  France04/30/2008 03:46 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing makes sense anymore. Maybe they'll break us by turning the world into nonsense. Is that how it works? how can it be illegal to write that someone is what they are? Bob is a Catholic Judy is a Republican Joe is a liberal Max is a Muslim Scott is a Jew One is different than all the others? |

(OP) User ID: 292560 United States04/30/2008 04:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nothing makes sense anymore. Maybe they'll break us by turning the world into nonsense. Is that how it works? Quoting: mercury2how can it be illegal to write that someone is what they are? Bob is a Catholic Judy is a Republican Joe is a liberal Max is a Muslim Scott is a Jew One is different than all the others? Exemption & privilege are certainly afforded to some. There's a unique insight to stories such as these,the power of a people united in focus and intent is obviously,extremely effective. I only wish the rest of us would gather together in unrelenting unity. === Imagine this clip on the evening cable news cycle. ......... [link to www.youtube.com] === I Refuse to Genuflect to attitudes & behaviors of any people,particularly when these diverse yet united groups Refuse to be scrutinized with the same intensity that they utilize to scrutinize others. === Human Resentment as a causal response to detached observation and analysis is NOT Hatred,it's resentment and it's disgust with deception.
