San Jose State hate crime: Black student files $5 million claim

[alp227]

The victim of a racially charged bullying case at San Jose State has filed a $5 million claim against the school, exposing for the first time that a dormitory resident advisor ignored an obvious early sign that "a potentially explosive and dangerous situation was developing in Room 704.''

The young black man, identified as Donald Williams Jr., plans to follow up the claim with a lawsuit if the university rejects the claim as expected, his Beverly Hills lawyer Carl E. Douglas has said.

The claim alleges breach of contract, negligence and violations of the Unruh Act by failing to provide equal housing accomodations during late summer and fall of the current school year.

Williams, then 17, was allegedly subjected to a litany of abuse by four of his white suite mates, including being called "Three-fifths, " referring to the way the government once counted blacks as just a fraction of a person. When he protested, they dubbed him "Fraction." They outfitted the four-bedroom dormitory suite they shared with a Confederate flag. They locked him in his room. They wrote the "N-word" on a dry-erase board in the living room. They fastened a bicycle lock around his neck and told him they lost the keys, then tried it again later. Interviewed later by campus police, some of the roommates called their actions pranks.

1. $#*! just got real

I sincerely hope San Jose State is insured for legal judgments. If not, its budget shortfall is about to get even bigger.

Disgusting, and so predictable.

9. kAMA you know don't you that

The Liberal Bay Area is really Liberal, that most of these comments, are made by paid and unpaid trolls from outside other places in California or outside the STATE. Republicans love to pay people to stir up the crapola in liberal areas, making things like the SAN FRANCISCO CHRON viewers look like a bunch of Racist Jerks.

5. RA's are usually poorly trained 19-22 year old kids

Making them deal with really serious matters like above is usually not a good idea.

6. That school is in big trouble. They even require freshman to live on campus!

i've been to several student activist meetings where this policy has been criticized.

7. Doesn't sound like the same school I graduated from........

in '72. Back then, a lot of the student body tormented the ROTC folks out on the drill field. This type of action would have resulted in the bullies getting their asses kicked-by the rest of the white kids in the dorm.

The only reason they would lose in court is because the result would be fixed.
If the judge is a Liberal/prog/Lefty/ then it is assured the black guy will win his case.

I am from here and hate crimes are just another tool used by the Left/
Liberal/ establishment to harass white people.



$#*! RACIST TROLL.
