Notes on A Scandal

Frat that declared ‘there will never be a nigger in SAE’ hazed black student to death

“Four years ago Cornell University closed down their chapter of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Many members of the fraternity left the school altogether. They had just killed a man.George Desdunes, an aspiring doctor, was a 19-year-old sophomore from Brooklyn, New York, and the son of Haitian immigrants. His hands and feet were tied with duct tape and zip ties. Blindfolded, he was given so much alcohol that he died within a few hours of the hazing. All alone and completely unconscious, he was found dead by a college cleaning crew the following morning. His mother filed a $25 million wrongful death suit in the case.On its own merit, the hazing death of George Desdunes is tragic, but when viewed in light of recent racism that has been exposed within the SAE fraternity, one has to wonder if George Desdunes was treated any differently because he was black. When a popular fraternity chant song has violent lines about lynching black men, everything should be on the table.”

Please don’t forget Darrien Hunt, a 22 year old cosplayer from Utah who was carrying a replica sword who was shot 6 times in the back while he was fleeing for his life 2 months ago

The cops tried covering this one up too:

He was shot from behind, running away and fleeing like we see in the surveillance tape where he is running for his life

The police originally claimed that he was swinging his sword and lunged at him before they begun shooting him. The police chief ruled the shooting justified. This is contrary to the evidence which indicates he was shot in the back

They allowed a police chief to make this ruling outside of a court of law, the investigation was carried out by an “officer-involved shooting protocol team”

The sword was bought from a gift shop and did not have a sharp edge, yet in the report they claim he swung it at them and they were afraid of getting sliced

The two cops who shot him are both reinstated: Schauerhamer and Judson

The area is 93% white, 0.5% black

The questioning of the cops was delayed and they’ve now altered their story (that Hunt lunged at them and that is why he ultimately died)

The shot that killed him, though, was the shot in the back that he received while fleeing. He was shot a total of 6 times.
