I felt traumatized by the Iranian Hostage Crisis during my freshman year at IU. Can I get an adjustment on my grades?

No.

Still early. No witnesses. I agree it has the *potential* to be fishy. I don't see any way an elderly woman would be able to pull off making up something like that - but there's the potential for embellishment.

Certainly, wait for the investigation.

And it turns out: it was made up.

St. Louis Bosnian woman who claimed hate crime is charged with making false report : News

A Bosnian immigrant has been charged with making a false police report after claiming three black teenagers threatened to kill her in the Bevo Mill neighborhood because of her ethnicity.
Police said Monday that a surveillance video from a nearby business shows Seherzada Dzanic, 26, of the 4400 block of Gannett Street, just get out of her car and lie in the street shortly before a passing driver found her Dec. 5.

Stoking fears, she should do at least a little time in jail for that. Can you imagine if the Bosnian community retaliated based on this lie?

This is one of those times where you and I agree completely.

I posted this over in the "Breathe easy" thread, but that turned into a theoretical/philosophical circle j... um, discussion and it got buried, so I thought I'd share here. Kickstarter anyone?

So do you really like red or did you think that paticular statement needed the extra empphasis?

One more question. How much for the gray one?

Regardless, he needs to become acquainted with Darren Wilson.

Well, as Al Sharpton says, "The fact that he didn't do it, doesn't prove he wouldn't."

I would assume LOTS of grand jurors on all sorts of juries would like to talk about their experiences. This one is unique?
