A student at Duke University has admitted to hanging a noose on a tree on campus that sparked protests throughout the week.

The college announced that the individual has been identified as a result of its investigation but the person's name has not been released.

What, if any, punishment the student will face remains unknown.

"The student is no longer on campus," Duke spokesman Keith Lawrence said in a statement. "The student will be subject to Duke’s student conduct process."

4. Oh, right, it's "flamebait," isn't it? I don't think that alert came from a Democrat, do you?

Could be a leftover Southern Democrat, possibly, but he/she'd be really, really old!

Makes you wonder how these people feel about the slavery days so far behind them. Must be scary without a wall of brutal foremen standing between them and anyone who might take issue with their sociopathic views.

Thanks for the view of the alert, Dont call me Shirley.

5. Sounds like the alert came from one of our rightwing racist trolls nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

Proud to have served as Juror #4.

Thanks for the OP, Judi

[Ageless Democrat]

21. 0-7 decision should also trigger a review for the admins

to determine if the alerter is a RW troll

[geek tragedy]

6. you should alert on that alert. the alerter has to be a rw troll nt

[KMOD]

8. I can't believe that was alerted on.

Hat tip, to Juror 5.

[iandhr]

12. That was alerted it on?

I think I am going to break Leslie Nielsen's request and call you Shirley.

2. Looks like the noose maker is from a protected class of some sort.

[geek tragedy]

7. just like the SAE white supremacists are from the most protected class

in the country

Duke: Student has admitted to hanging noose in tree
By JONATHAN DREW, Associated Press | April 2, 2015 | Updated: April 2, 2015 4:16pm

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — An undergraduate student at Duke University has admitted to hanging a noose in a tree and is no longer on campus, university officials said Thursday.

School spokesman Michael Schoenfeld said at a news conference that the school would not release the name of the student who admitted to hanging the noose, found early Wednesday in a plaza area at the heart of the campus.

The student was identified with information provided by other students and will be subject to Duke's student conduct process and that an investigation is continuing to find out if others were involved, Schoenfeld said.

School officials believe federal education laws protecting information about students and their grades prevent the school from describing his or her gender, race or whether the student had been in trouble in the past, Schoenfeld said.

15. Hmmm....I've seen students named

when crimes like this are committed. Why not now?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. He put a noose in a tree. What's the crime?

Is this a misdemeanor or a felony in his state?

[Calista241]

18. He / she is probably a minor. n/t

[christx30]

19. One could call it a threat, especially in an area

with a history of lynching people.

Movie I saw one time had a guy going after the tobacco industry over health concerns of their product. Someone placed a bullet in his mailbox as a warning to drop the investigation.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. A bullet in someone's mailbox can be a threat ...

... as can a noose hanging from a tree in someone's yard.

But a noose somewhere on a college campus or city park is probably just some sophomoric prank, a dumb stunt. Not a crime.

Some kid needs a time-out. Maybe a lecture. Not jail time, not expulsion.

11. WTF is wrong with people.

13. Ignorance by choice

it appears to be a protected right in some minds.

14. It's what happens...

... in a country with free speech where half the populace has no conscience.
