Agreed.

But seeing as how we have zero information on this (other than it happened), I feel people are free to discuss/tin hat/propose potential theories on who/what/why/where/how, without being completely discredited (and falsely so).

Agree with their theory or not.

And some are just trolling

And some are probably serious.

If that's your flavor of tin hat, then fine.

But you can't say that the idea of the group making itself a victim is far fetched, especially when we had a local case of such not too long ago. It's much more likely than your scenario. In fact, it's probably the second most plausible explanation, behind bigots. Small chance, sure, but you all are going from one end (you're a bigot if you think people would do to this to themselves) to another (aliens who hate white people).

TWW's definition of a bigot = not agreeing with my opinion.

when did entitlement to opinion go out the window?

Considering it a front-running hypothesis with literally no other information is pretty revealing of a persecution complex, IMO

See, you're just exaggerating. It's not a front-runner.

Did the media report that?
Did the police say that?
Did trolls say that?

C'mon man, use intelligence and not shock value shit.

So much for a front runner

hell, posting on this very website is a self-troll

It wasn't trolling, and I'll stand by it. Yes, I do think an inside job should be the front-running hypothesis.

Since when do investigations not start with the question of who benefits? Since when is the person or group who stands the most to gain from a crime not the lead suspect?

10/18/2011 3:52:57 PM

while I agree with the premise, in such crimes, it is not often that the group itself is the perpetrator. will/should questions be asked of the group? yes. just as looking at video surveillance and asking any witnesses should be done.

my original point was that it is wrong to call someone a bigot because they have proposed an alternative scenario which is plausible (and happened locally in recent history). if that person's scenario is proved false and he/she continues to say anti-homosexual things, then sure, call him/her a bigot.

People use "faggot" as a synonym for anything Chapel Hill related at NC State and we're assuming that it's not a homophobe that did this? Get that shit out of here.

lol you apply this reasoning to historically persecuted, extreme minority groups, but not to the capitalist masters you suck off joyfully

I doubt the GLBT pulled a Reichstag. All you need to do is look at the past thread about the center to know we have people who wanted to vandalize the place.

I don't think you're a bigot. I just think it's weird that you would immediately suspect the victim in this case, with no reason to do so other than a single news article.

10/18/2011 10:27:42 PM

Ugh, at least it wasn't another campus "rape". You know it was just some guy walking 100 yards away and the girl is crying wolf. Fucking attention whores.

uhmmmm yes i do.

I HATE when people say stuff like this like OMG YOU ARENT GAY YOU DONT UNDERSTAND

yes, I do. I do live in danger because it depends on where I am and who I am associating myself with.

If I, being a young middle class white male, were to go to the middle of some ghetto chances are I would be assualted because of the simple fact of what I possibly had in my pockets.

if you let it get to you and keep bringing it up, it becomes the problem. Ignoring stupid stuff like this is the best bet. let the cops deal with it and move on. Everyone gets hated on.

You do not live in the ghetto. You have no reason to be in the ghetto. In your daily life, you are not in danger of being attacked because of who you are.

Gay people, on the other hand, can not avoid persecution, because it isn't confined to certain places.

"This isn't the first time N.C. State has had to deal with defamatory remarks on the campus. Racist speech in the campus's Free Expression Tunnel – a public pedestrian tunnel where students can express themselves with graffiti art – became an issue after a message threatening violence against President Barack Obama was spray-painted the night he was elected in November 2008. In 2010, someone also painted racist and homophobic graffiti involving Obama in the Free Expression Tunnel. Those incidents prompted the University of North Carolina System to adopt a policy prohibiting actions defined by federal and state laws as hate crimes."

Shouldn't the state and federal laws already be enough? I'd be interested to see what this policy is exactly.
