Purple spray paint, eh? I guarantee there is can of same missing from the center's supply cabinet, from the rainbow color spraypaints they keep on hand for impromptu group and protest signs. This is 100% an inside job, a hoax, a faux "hate crime", almost certainly by one of the group leaders. When found out, the campus LGBT community will go from advocting expulsion for the perps, to calls for understanding, and lamenting that it unfortunately draws attention away from the pervasive ""real"" "hate crimes". Anyone want to bet me on that?

Scaramouche, nice try. Never said I supported what they did. Nor did I say I supported that being there to start with. Free speech is not always pretty. I could really care less what you try and take out of context.

"all crimes are "hate" crimes and there should be no special treatment due to minorities. Isn't that what they are wanting - equality? Treat all victims equally." - TaxMan

No, a hate crime occurs when a victim is targeted because of their perceived membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, etcetera.

A person can commit sex, drug, violent, white collar, theft and federal crimes without having a malicious intent based on group identity.

"These are all well-documented hate-crime hoaxes. As I said, they happen every day. When you hear hate crime, you'd be wiser to question it than to take it at face value. All of these fakes made it that way which is sort of sad. The minorities and victim classes should be enraged that their causes have been diminished." Card Player

I agree...and they should all be lobbying their congressmen to abolish the hate crimes laws and be treated them equally. As a former and potential juror, I would never under any circumstance convict anyone of a hate crime. If I am in the jury box, you had better come with the real thing othewise it's case closed before it starts.

Gee, what a shame. Did the NMBLA center next door also get vandalized? I don't understand why these poor folks get picked on.

Welcome to the real world. This kind of thing will continue no matter how sensitive and diverse people say they are.

"ps. to the Admiral - "life's not fair?" Would you have said that to the civil rights movement in the 60's? Would you say it to a woman who gets paid 75 cents for every dollar her male counterpart makes? "

I bet the answer to that is yes. Freedom is only something they want for themselves and those that look and think like them.

"..I don't want to here a single whine about......"

The word you were looking for is "Hear"

Hilarious someone so short of education should comment on the education of others.

If you don't thing think that writing "die" on a student notice board is sick then you have a serious problem. Folks like you are exactly why there is a GLBT center.
