It eventually did get handed over and the police after reviewing it said there was “relevant information” on the tape. Which you can interpret how you will.

will not face criminal charges

Darn! Al Sharpton could have defended him. It wasn't racism, but it could have been and it's the seriousness of the possible crime that counts.

Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Police Department and for Mayor Sheila Dixon, said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges.

Why isn't he being charged??

Ann Coulter, about six weeks ago: "I'll be shocked by a noose appearing on a college campus the day an actual racist does it."

"Why isn't he being charged??"

I asked the same question about the Black girl who accussed the Duke guys of rape. The Answer:

"No good can come from charging her."

Black American men and women should be given a hand-up if needed. But...A Black Fire Department EMT fails to achieve required paramedic certification, Perpetrates a racial hoax incident, and the NAACP says that the hoax proves the racism in the department! Never argue with insanity!

Marvin L. "Doc" Cheatham, president of the NAACP's Baltimore chapter, said the fact that such an incident could occur shows that pervasive racial problems persist in the department. - Baltimore Sun

This is a hate crime! I demand that he be put in prison!
Won’t happen. AS SOON AS the police find out that the criminal who did the deed is NOT WHITE, it’s all over. No prosecution. No hate crime. No jail. No nothing.
That’s why I say that “hate crime” laws were created explicitly for the express purpose of harassing WHITE PEOPLE!

Doesnt the fact that the racism has to be manufactured prove that it is pretty rare?

There’s an incredible amount of racism involved in this case. First the act itself was designed to incite hatred of white people and to deny them employment. Then when a black man admitted to the racist hoax, “a spokesman for the Police Department and for Mayor Sheila Dixon, said the man admitted to the hoax and will not face criminal charges.”

What was the outcome, who placed the noose, was it the “Professor” that was the “target”?

This case seems to have vanished down the memory hole. A black professor claimed to have found a noose hanging on her office door. She made the usual show of outrage and hysteria over it. Students held a big "anti-racism" rally and wept and moaned over it. The administration vowed to leave no stone unturned until they found the perpetrator and prosecuted him to the fullest extent of the law. The media gave it lavish coverage.

Then someone noticed that a security camera in the area may have filmed the noose hanger. Suddenly, Columbia's administration started mumbling about how they really couldn't turn the tape over to authorities without a warrant. The professor stopped bellowing and quietly went back to work. The media dropped interest in the story.

We never did learn what was on the security tape or who hung the noose. An arrangement was finally made for authorities to look at the tape, I think. But neither the press nor anyone else ever reported what was on it. It all sounds pretty suspicious to me.

“Why isn’t he being charged??”

Don’t you know about the new laws.

It’s not what crime you commit. It’s WHO you are.

Just ask:
Clintons
Guiliani
Montel Williams
Scooter Libby
Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame
OJ Simpson
Al Sharpton
Jesse Jackson
Michael Jackson
Al Gore

I could go on forever with this list.

Don't you mean "hanged", or are you trying to stereotype or something?

Oooooooooo...................pervasive White racism drove this poor Black man to episodic racial self hatred. Thereby, causing him to harass himself and play out, in real life, the hatreds he instinctively knows is in each Honkie's White person's heart.

It's elementary.

He must’ve meant “hanged”. Which implies “lynched”, though by legal court ordered means. Not that we do that, anymore. As for *hung*, that’s a myth, anyway. At least, as it pertains to races.
