Ain’t Hell, we’ve got a doozy here.
The
University of Wyoming Police Department says Meg Lanker-Simons created the
anonymous threat of sexual violence targeted at her on social media last week.
The
university announced Tuesday that campus police cited Lanker-Simons for
misdemeanor interference with a police investigation.
Lanker-Simons
accused an anonymous source of posting a threat of rape on the Facebook page
“UW Crushes” on April 24. But the citation issued Monday claims Lanker-Simons
admitted to making the post, then lying about it.
The
UW senior told the Star-Tribune on Tuesday that the police accusations were
untrue. Lanker-Simons said she retained legal counsel and filed an
entry-of-appearance plea of not guilty. The citation set a court date for May
13. Charles Pelkey, Lanker-Simons’ attorney, declined to comment.
UW
Crushes was a forum designed for students to anonymously write about their love
interests and sexual desires. UW administrators have since had the page
removed. Prior to its removal, anyone could have signed into a Facebook
account, gone to UW Crushes and secretly submitted a comment via a link to surveymonkey.com.
The posts were then made public on Facebook.
“I want to hatef— Meg Lanker- so hard,” the Facebook post
read. “That chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn’t care who
knows it. I think its hot and it makes me angry. One night with me and she’s
gonna be a good Republican b—-.”
Naturally, outrageously outrageous
outrage followed her accusations, which were entirely bogus. Not only that
she’s got a history of dubious allegations and accusations, not to mention shady
friends.
Lanker-Simons
is a well-known liberal blogger and radio host whose fans were upset about the
Facebook comment. The post sparked rape-culture awareness protests on Monday at
the university.
Lanker-Simons
also has detractors. She and former 1960s radical Bill Ayers sued UW in 2010 to
allow Ayers to speak on campus about education issues. Lanker-Simons and Ayers
won the case, and Ayers spoke on campus later that year. Many people were
outraged at Lanker-Simons. She claimed to have received death threats.
There was also another alleged threat.
Time for the police to reopen those cases. Shouldn’t be hard to find a trail
leading right back to this freak. By the way, it appears her Twitter
page has gone bye-bye. But she’s still
here.
Update:
The University of
Wyoming also confirmed a statement that the police had “"obtained
substantial evidence verifying that the offending Facebook post came from
Lanker-Simons' computer, while the computer was in her possession.”
According to a
Facebook page that apparently belongs to Lanker-Simons she is a member of the
University of Wyoming Gender & Women's Studies group as well as the
school’s chapter of The Nonviolent Communist.
Since police cited
her, supporters have a constructed a Facebook page entitled “Meg Lanker-Simons
is innocent.”
I want you to take a sec and a deep
breath, then prepare to throw yourself down the wormhole as you wrap your mind
around this:
“MEG
LANKER-SIMONS IS INNOCENT we believe
WHAT SHE DID WAS JUSTIFIED AND
DESERVES NOT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HER ACCUSATIONS we stand behind you sister,” reads that
page’s description.
Reduced:
‘Yes, she
did it, but she’s innocent because it was a justifiable faking of a hate crime
and she doesn’t deserve to be held accountable because, well, she’s special.
That’s why.’
This country is soooooo screwed.
