WATERGATE 2.0

Before the Thanksgiving weekend,  LGBT books at Harvard's Lamont Library were vandalized.  The books were soaked with urine.  These books were worth thousands of dollars too.

Security staff at Lamont Library said in a report filed with campus police on Friday that it appeared someone poured urine on the books on Nov. 24. An empty bottle was found nearby. A police spokesman tells The Crimson student newspaper that all the books were about lesbian, gay and same-sex marriage issues. Library spokeswoman Beth Brainard says it took so long to report the incident because staff wanted to assess the value of the books. She says they were worth several thousand dollars and will be discarded.

NOW-----

Harvard police are stating that the incident was an accident not an anti-gay/hate act.  A bottle of urine just HAPPENED to be there and spilled over the books.

Yeah, right.....  We ain't buying that it was "accident."

Upon an investigation by HUPD, it was revealed Monday morning that "our own library personnel" had accidentally spilled a bottle, containing what was reported to be urine, that had been found on the shelf, according to Hammonds. Harvard College Library plans to replace all 36 damaged books as soon as possible, she added. "I believe this is an important new fact in the investigation and warrants my sharing it with you immediately. While we should not minimize the seriousness of this incident, HUPD is no longer classifying this incident as a hate crime," Hammonds wrote in her statement.
