And that is just today's headlines.


What Romney did years ago could be considered a hate crime today. He is not fit to run for president, IMHO. Prank, my ass.

1. They didn't even kick him out of school for assault and battery.

Of course, his victim would go on to get kicked out for smoking a cigarette.

From The FREEP:

Romney led 1965 Cranbrook bullying incident over student's hairstyle, Washington Post reports

Detroit Free Press

EXCERPT...

One of the other former students who was interviewed by the Post, David Seed, said he ran into Lauber in the 1990s in a bar at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago.

Seed said he told Lauber he had witnessed the incident and “I’m sorry I didn’t do more to help.”

He said Lauber told him: “It was horrible … It’s something I have thought about a lot since then.”

According to other students, Lauber was subsequently expelled from Cranbrook after being reported for smoking. His three sisters told the Post he died in 2004.

It is a hate crime. And it also shows how the "privileged" get away with hurting innocent people.
