Bogus: ‘Case Western’ Blogger Falsifies Protest
Bethany Stotts, December 21, 2009
Blogger “Norman Novus,” who claims to be a Case Western Reserve University Ph.D. candidate, wrote on December 18 that “a group of Cleveland’s less cerebrally engaged have take to protesting outside my research suite at Case.” But at least one of his photos is ripped off Getty Images.
“For the past week, a group of Cleveland’s less cerebrally engaged have taken to protesting outside my research suite at Case. (I can hear them once in a while from where I’m sitting and writing this.) It’s been a mix of locals mostly, but a few students have brought placards on their way to class as well.”
“One of my colleagues snapped a few photos yesterday,” he writes, and embeds the photos I’ve included below.
“The groups haven’t been especially large, maybe a dozen or so people at the most–and today there seemed to be a few fewer than yesterday–but they’ve been pretty vocal and confrontational. On Wednesday, one threw his shoulder into mine as I tried to pass on the sidewalk leading into the building’s entrance. This guy below, whose shirt pretty much sums up the general message of those assembled, occupies a special place in my heart–it’s too bad the image doesn’t show you what his sign says, as my name assumes a bold font near its top.”

Can you provide some background on this as I haven’t a clue as to what this is about at all, and reading the whole article at the link really didn’t do it for me either.
The fact that “Norman Novus” not showing up in the Case directory actually means something......is laughable. Hint: Novus is a biotech company that provides biologics for the rest of us to use in research.
“ElectricStrawberry” isn’t going to show up in the HSPH alumni directory either.
It’s called a pseudonym.....people use them because there are dilholes in the world that will do damage to those that disagree with them if they know who they are.
Or are you using your real name on FR?
