On October 30th I asked what was wrong with George Washington University. That was in response to a report that swastikas had been drawn around campus – particularly in front of the dormitory doors of Jewish students. Recall also that only a short while before the swastika incidents that a leftist group had tried to smear campus conservatives by posting hoax anti-Muslim fliers around campus. It turns out that the latter incident has rather a lot in common with the former. Because what is wrong with George Washington University is beginning to look like an episode of a new reality television show, American Victim Idol.
A student at George Washington University has admitted drawing swastikas on her own door, university officials say:
After evaluating evidence from a hidden camera positioned in response to the swastika postings in Mitchell Hall, University Police have linked the student who filed the complaints to several of the incidents.
Following a final interview with investigators today, the student admitted responsibility for those incidents.
The student in question is an 18-year-old freshman. The GW Hatchet reports:
Using footage from a hidden video camera, the University Police Department linked freshman Sarah Marshak with the vandalism. She will now appear before Student Judicial Services and could face federal and District charges, a spokesperson announced Monday afternoon.
In an interview with The Hatchet Monday afternoon, Marshak, who had been a reporter for this newspaper, categorically denied drawing the swastikas on her residence hall door.
Marshak saw six swastikas on her residence hall door, where she lived alone.
GWU failed to take action against seven students who perpetrated an anti-Muslim hoax against Young America's Foundation last month. Marshak's hate hoax began Oct. 23, and FBI agents were called to assist in the investigation.
Robert Stacy McCain points out that it is a longing for fame on the part of the "victim" – and the quickest route to that 15 minutes is by being lauded in the press as a victim of "hate crimes". Even if you have to inflict them on yourself to make it happen. What's also going wrong at GWU is an administration that fails to stomp – hard – on cretinous people who have been caught red-handed faking hate and trying to smear others with their actions. You reap what you sow, folks. The administration of GWU failed to take action against the real purveyors of hate and have, as a result, promoted faked hate as a means to publicity and fame.
Welcome to American Victim Idol.

I say for all the frauds and hoaxsters, make them pay for the financial charges stemming from the investigations. Publish the costs for everybody to know, then stick it to the idiots that are propogating the fraud. Let the public know that the fraudsters are getting caught and the punishment is having to pay the hunderds of thousands of dollars for the investigation that way the taxpayers don’t have to. Also, make it where they cannot declare bankruptcy and get the fees removed. You will pay until it is paid or you die, then the government will seize your estate to pay the rest.
