Student apologizes for UC San Diego noose incident, claims no racist intent
"I know what I did was offensive -- regardless of my intentions -- I am just trying to say I’m sorry. As a minority student who sympathizes with the students that have been affected by the recent issues on campus, I am distraught to know that I have unintentionally added to their pain," wrote the student, who was suspended Friday and remains under investigation by campus police for a possible hate crime.

5. So what was it?
A false flag intended to incite others. A stupid move by an immature individual that did not see the potential reaction? Or the overreaction to what society in the past just fluffed off as name calling and not serious harm such as sticks and stones that break bones?
