The Daily Cal was occupied yet again yesterday by supporters of alleged Pi Kapp skullfracturer Michael Grey. Alleged alleged alleged. The occupiers proved their commitment to dialogue and stopping negative stereotypes by roaming room to room searching for reporter Nate Tabak so they could yell at him.
Was it Gray? We know that multiple people wearing football jerseys invaded Pi Kapp. Presumably some of them were African-American. Since the police are still holding him, there's probably enough evidence to do so: bloody knuckles, lack of alibi, knows lots of local High Schoolers, or something else. It's unlikely he's being held because he's Black and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Students objected to what they said depicted the predominately white Greek community as victims because they, as minorities, already felt like outsiders on fraternity row.They were depicted as victims because they got the shit beaten out of them for no good reason. That's the reason this is such a big story: a fight at a party is one thing. Even a fight this big at a party is quite another thing. But a premeditated, massed attack is both A) scary and B) three times as illegal. Email This Post! |
