Your yahoo link is to an AP article. Need I say more?<BR/><BR/>Point 2. The victims found excuses on two occasions why they couldn't meet with the Greensboro PD investigators. Six days after the incident, the police had not been able to interview them. All statements from them are being handled by their attorney. <BR/><BR/>Point 3. The brass knuckles claim has been refuted by a later account from a student. There may have been a watch band involved.<BR/><BR/>Point 4. Guilford College had "about twenty-five witness statements", and after several days ruminations, couldn't make an objective statement about what happened.<BR/><BR/>Point 5. Guilford College, before the last two alleged assailants were arrested, had called five students before the college's judicial board for possible violations of the campus code of conduct. Three of these five were the alleged victims, only two were from the group of alleged assailants.<BR/><BR/>Point 6. Before the local authorities can interview the victims, it's announced the FBI will be entering the fray next week due to the allegations of hate crimes. <BR/><BR/>Point 7. Guilford College has removed the alleged assailants, as well as the alleged victims, from their campus residences, in some cases the college is paying for their housing elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>My hunch? There's more going on here than anyone not involved with the investigation(s) can grasp from the early media bloviating. The school is very cautious, as it should be. The police aren't able to talk to the victims? Now the FBI will be tilting everything toward a federal hate crime. If you've been following the selective investigating practices of the FBI in recent years, this does not auger well for anyone except the victims. We'll see. <BR/><BR/>--------<BR/><BR/>As to the rest of your post after the first paragraph, I couldn't agree more.linearthinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201292791445921817noreply@blogger.com
