Melanie Bowers, 13, brought the sign to Athens Middle School on Friday as part of a class project on political activism. Each child was assigned to pick an issue and prepare a poster supporting a position.

I guess they were just fighting for their rights for free benefits, and don't want those freebies taken away.

Sad, but true.

I'll wait for a certain someone to chime in on this..

Very sad...

They were trying to drag her into a bathroom telling her that they were going to rape her. All they got is on-campus suspension??? If I was that girls dad I might be tempted to do something bad.

I think I heard it reported that the father was trying to get it classified as a hate crime.

It will never happen. Didn't you know? It's not possible for minorities to guilty of hate crimes.

Of course.....before long, whites will be in the minority, in which case it will then be possible.

Maybe there hasn't been enough time go by for this to hit the MSM....but I bet if the situation had been reversed and this had been white on hispanic violence it would have been all over the news by now.

The kids that engaged in the violence should be EXPELLED....not suspended.

They said that they have contacted the FBI on the news. Nothing can come of it. The girl is white. Hate crimes and discrimination can't happen to a white person.

Definately a Hate Crime. I hope that The FBI is involved.

Oh I agree.
Hate crime... yes.
Anything to be done.. no.

Where are the full street protests?

Where is the ACLU on this?

They'd probably throw us all in jail if we protested?

We need a white mans version of Al Sharpton

Fatty?

Close to the same size put not enough pull

I'll bet you a steak dinner the FBI or any other Federal alphabet agency won't touch this.

This girl is on the wrong side of the PC fence.

There's a web site idea for you Fatty!

We have one. His name is Daniel Carver.

Fatty for.... What do we call it now?

Who?

Daniel Carver is the Grand Imperial Most Omnipotent Grand Poobah Wizard Dragon for the Ku Klux Klan.

She will probably be charged with the crime of being white by the time it come to an end.

sad but true. Come on Fatty stand up for her and help her out.

My thoughts exactly.

Inciting a riot.

That guy is freeking hilarious!

When asked if the young woman’s claim she was attacked by a large group of students could be substantiated, Hayes said the information will come out in the press conference, but that the student charged will be charged with “false claim.”

Bad thing is if you haul an illegal back at 5pm they are back over here at 5 am.

I see we got some other Howard fans on here!

Or, it's just part of a cycle. Not that it's right or justifies it, but at one time, I'm sure this would've happened if the roles were reversed....good ol' boy style.

The district superintentant Fred Hayes doesn't impress me at all.Illegal Immigation is a law.It does not have any race to it.Illegal is Illegal.

So you are saying that he and the Senior Senator from West Virginia, Mr. Byrd, Democrat, are good buddies?

White version of Tawana Brawley without the support.

Dunno. Don't really give them much attention.

Thanks for the update.

If this proves true, the girl should be given the same discipline that would be given to the kids that she alleged committed the act. (i.e. expelled)

Concur!

pretty much true...she made it up...caught on tape...

Just what one needs for the ovens.

Anyone have any insight as to why this girl would make this up?

Attention ?
Daddy issues?

Interesting question.

Maybe spoiled little girl?

Maybe she likes to have the attention on her?

Maybe she thought this lie would help her get revenge on those bad boys for taking her poster?

Maybe all of the above.....

I wonder what her parents are doing about this now.

Thanks for the update.

That too, is sad. That sure is a lot of trouble to go through to make a point. It looks like her parents will let the false hate crime charges stick. Good. Maybe it will make an impact on her.

I mean, who else in their "right" mind would make up false hate crime charges. No one in this day does that, do they? And if they did, they too would get false hate crime charges against them, wouldn't they?

She is obviously a victim here. She is a self mutilator.

Or just "human" like Hillary.

Howard fan here. I need to get sirius badley.

Now what? she faked the whole attack! her acts were senseless. there's already tension between people and her stupidity just aggrevated the situation.

It is a shame.

its sad that they can crowd the streets and protest the fact that we dont want them here illegally, yet when they commit this type of crime, the only fact that is highlighted is that the white girl had a sign depicting her beliefs. truly a sad time in this country. and if the democrats get in office, you bet its gonna get worse.
