NYPD Annoyed with Columbia
As the NYPD Hate Crimes unit, as well as the FBI and Justice Department, investigates the noose found outside a Columbia professor's office, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly commented about the school's cooperation. Apparently the school only turned over surveillance videos after the NYPD provided a subpoena - three days after the noose was found on Teachers College Professor Madonna Constatine's office door knob.
Columbia said that educational institutions require subpoenas, because they are dealing with students' privacy. Commissioner Kelly said, ""We get videotape all the time from the scenes of crimes. Generally speaking, no one requires a subpoena. If that's what the school requires, we'll certainly be cognizant of that in the future." But he also said, "We do this all the time - we get videotape all the time from the scenes of crimes. I think [Columbia] had a very broad interpretation of the law, and we need a common-sense standard here."
So far, the videos haven't provided any clues. There are no suspects yet. A professor who Constantine sued for defamation - it seems that Suniya Luthar felt Constantine was taking too much credit for a book they worked on - was ruled out as a suspect. And the NYPD is also investigating the noose noticed outside the the Church Street post office onThursday. Commissioner Kelly said it could very well be a copycat incident: "When something happens, we do have to be concerned that others might do it."
The Daily News also reports that Assemblyman Joseph Lentol will introduce "legislation to make displaying a noose a felony akin to showcasing a burning cross or a swastika." He said, "I think it is high time that the law recognizes the racial and historic hatred that a noose symbolizes." And Newsday looks at the ugly history of what the noose evokes.




how bout actually incidents of racial hatred? instead of these symbols. when people beat other people or directly insult them. this is nothing.
that would be hate crimes. of course, we can't do anything about systemic, institutionalized racial hatred.
so If I tie my bike down in my car using my noose it's a hate crime? fuck you!
no, not a hate crime, more like a stupid crime.
indicative of it's owner.
The ho bitch did it to herself so she can get attention yo!
The racial injustice is not only directed at Blacks but also other people of color. My story is a Chinese version of Jena 6.

I am a Chinese immigrant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The racial persecution on me started because I challenged an academic theory of a White professor, David Waterhouse of the University of Toronto (U of T) that "the concept of beauty" is a "European concept". After Waterhouse acknowledged his loss of argument to me, he retaliated against me with fraud on my grades, etc. When I complained, another White professor, James Cahill of the University of California at Berkeley and the Canadian government came in his aid to cover up the fraud and his racial prejudice in his theory for him. Together they conspired a criminal prosecution on me in that I was set up by en entrapment for a bogus charge of “uttering death threat” to threaten Waterhouse at the Ontario Human Rights Commission (the OHRC). It was a fabricated crime plotted by an entrapment using the "confidentiality rule" of the OHRC, and despite that the Canadian Charter of Rights provides that testimonies before a tribunal cannot be used as evidence to incriminate any one, I was incriminated and finally convicted by a judge.
In the meantime, all the American and Canadian White perpetrators and their accomplices who committed felony crimes against me got away Scott Free from their criminal liabilities. These crimes include: in US - perjuries committed by Cahill in a US federal court where I had a civil rights action against him; forgery of court document committed by a California Superior Court Supervisor Maura Ramirez; and death threats, threats of forced disappearance on Internet Yahoo newsgroups against me by an American, and in Canada, perjuries committed by the OHRC officer Alan Strojin at my criminal trial, etc. Despite that all these crimes are all proven on written documents, and all the facts so accurately match the descriptions of these offenses by the criminal laws of the US and Canada, the FBI and the US Department of Justice, the California San Francisco Police Department, the District Attorney, all refused to investigate my complaints. In California, even the Grand Jury is in the tight control of the government, in that the Foreman was picked by the court, and the foreman controls what the other Grand Jurors would know, (in violation of California and US constitutions that provide a grand jury can only decide on a complaint as a whole by votes), and so the Foreman just simply made a personal decision not to investigate my complaint.
The same with the California state court and US federal court, there is NO LAW for me. Some of my claims were simply dismissed without even ever being an adjudicated on, and others were dismissed on blatant violations of laws. In Canada, I have already been unlawfully barred from access to court by court order, and all my due process rights were literally denied by courts, in that I was not even allowed to oppose the defendants of my civil rights cases - to argue with them in anyway the law provides. I have to publish my story on the Internet since virtually all Canadian and U.S. main stream media declined to publish my story, and all those so-called "human rights groups" such as the "Human Rights Watch", etc. ignored my request for investigation.
