Last Friday, The Harvard Crimson, the school paper of Harvard University, reported that at least 36 books, dealing with LGBT subject matter, at Harvard's Lamont Library have been vandalized with what appeared to be urine 1. It was initially reported and investigated as a hate crime.
On Monday, Evelynn M. Hammonds, Dean of Harvard College, issued a memorandum that stated that the incident was no longer being investigated as a hate crime, but was instead an "accident" 2.
Allegedly, the 36 FREAK'IN BOOKS were damaged by their own library personnel who "accidentally" spilling a bottle of urine that had been left on the shelf.
I am screaming "BULLSHIT" on this one!
- First of all the actual vandalism occurred back on November 24th and wasn't reported to the campus police until December 10th.
- Then after an exhaustive TWO DAY INVESTIGATION, it has been determined that it was an accident.
- A library employee just "happened" to find a bottle of piss sitting on a shelf in the library and just "happened" to "accidentally" spill it on 36 FREAK'IN BOOKS that just "happen" to be LGBTQ related.
I'm no Harvard grad, but I'm not so stupid that I can't see a cover up when it's THIS clear.

Cal students would have gone out and beat up a CIA agent and a military recruiter over that.
You DO know I'm being facetious, don't you?
Sometimes I'm ashamed to be human. What ignorance and cowardice is at play here. So sad.

First guy says "Where I went to school they taught us not to piss on our hands."

Of course it's bullshit, Dear. We all know it's bullshit. No one actually thinks it was an accident.
Thankfully, kindly, mercifully, just this once, dumbfuck nation isn't going to be headfaked by sensationalistic bubbleheads, fringies heralding the next holocaust in their fundraising screeds or any facetime angling shitheels trying to leverage their way into the Lieutenant Governor's mansion.
Next!
Not if they had a decent quarterback....[grin!] GO Bears!
