A Presumption of Guilt

 Students riot over sexual assault allegations against frat despite no officially lodged complaint - Protests based on vague online anonymous allegations: ‘tried in a public square by a violent mob’ [More]

I can't decide if I should reference Carroll or Beria...

So it goes with all "commonsense" prior restraints devoid of due process.

"The anonymous letter suggests that black people should be sterilized. UMass has since hired a cybersecurity firm to investigate the source."
I've got "black author." Any takers?

That depends. Did it say anything about "inseminators"?

What is even more interesting is that this article is from U.Mass/Boston, reporting on events at U.Mass/Amherst. Worlds apart, culturally. Urban UMB is majority minority (or is that minority majority?), built on a former marshland on Boston Harbor that was a Boston dump landfill whose buildings have soundproof windows because it is on the landing approach path for nearby Logan International Airport. Until recently there was no student residential housing. The much larger and bucolic UMA is built on former Connecticut Valley farmland.
