#1 But on Tuesday, the school made a jolting announcement. The person responsible for the racist messages, the academy said, was, in fact, one of the cadet candidates who reported being targeted by them.

As the article alludes to, and many here noted when first reported a rush to judgement, tongue lashing and Group punishment by the Commandant prior to the conclusion of the investigation. Turns out to be a hoax by....(no name, no photo).

I've got a 'better idea' Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria. How about a group apology ?

#2 You'd only get a Patton non-apology apology.

Better, a lesson plan to be delivered personally to the class on ethics and integrity upon approval of the SecAF.

#3 We need to start labeling such BS as real hate crime as that is precisely what it is. A black person targeting whites with this BS is no different than if this had actually taken place. Convict and sentence exactly how you would if this had actually happen and we'll this crap shut down pretty damn quick

#4 When I watched Lt. Gen. Silveria deliver his initial diatribe, my only thought was that it was a knee-jerk rather than considered reaction.

He bought into the meme,and I am sure it was noticed. Too bad.

#5 They should be prosecuted as if it were a real hate crime since the chill sent through the community threatened by the hoax is identical to that of a real hate crime.
