A Ku Klux Klan symbol and swastika were found Tuesday in separate locations at St. Cloud State University.

A drawing of a Klan hood, including a burning cross symbol, was found late morning on a small card posted in a women's restroom on the main floor of Atwood Memorial Center, the school's public safety department said in an alert.

In the afternoon, police were called to a swastika scratched on a stall's door in a men's restroom, main floor, Stewart Hall.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I bet there’s a security camera video tape showing the culprit that will not be released to the police.

Without imaginary victims, the radical Democrat Farm Labor party would cease to exist.

Thank goodness they did not find a noose - no noose is good news...

[Augustinian monk]

Need hate crime laws and speech codes to combat this problem

[MEGoody]

Sorry. I have a hard time getting upset about KKK symbols when Christians are being shot to death in their churches and schools.

I’m thinking of the word “soone”. Is that a problem?

[joshhiggins]

My liberal coworkers have long since given up betting their own money on these kind of stories, It's a safe bet the person that did it will not even be eligible for Klan membership.

I always enjoy offering the bet because it forces them to acknowledge the likely reality, and they shut up.

Meanwhile, the school janitor was called to respond to a bank robbery in progress.

maybe Robert Byrd was there trying out for a remake of “Back to School”.

“no noose is good news”

Hang around long enough and you’ll find that even that statement is stretch.

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

I’ve seen pro bin laden and al qaida graffiti also. Is that something I can report as a ‘hate crime?’

[WOBBLY BOB]

only if it makes you feel sad. assuming so, yes.

I wonder if gang graffiti is a hate crime.

[doodad]

Isn’t it funny that the police are never called to more public areas and etchings of hate? I mean, surely the mall or grocery store also have these hate etchings since it seem so prevelant these days, right? OH, it only happens where the self-indignant exist? Riiiiight.

Somewhere there are a couple of kids giggling away at the stupidity of the establishment.

[Hyzenthlay]

My money would be on a couple bored kids who wanted some excitement. At my school, even immature pranks like drawing a sexually suggestive picture, hanging someone’s underwear on a bulletin board, or making an anatomically correct snowman are considered ‘bias-related incidents’, and then the entire dorm where the incident took place has to have meetings about how there was a bias-related incident and those are bad.... but nothing when a guy flashes a group of girls or tries to spank a girl sleeping on a couch or anything like that.

[WOBBLY BOB]

thank goodness they weren’t pointing chicken fingers.

I wonder if gang graffiti is a hate crime.

Only if the gang is white.
