The three black female students claimed they were attacked on a city bus on the night of Jan. 30 by 10 to 12 white students. The incident sparked a rally with hundreds in attendance and a popular #DefendBlackGirlsUAlbany hashtag on Twitter — even garnering a tweet from Hillary Clinton

At the time, a statement from Police Chief J. Frank Wiley of the University at Albany Police Department had said that “a review of the video from the CDTA bus has established that the encounter began off campus with verbal exchanges, but that the physical confrontation took place after the bus had driven onto UAlbany’s Main Campus.”

However, the validity of the students’ claims were questioned and the university launched into a three-week investigation, reviewing security videotape and interviewing over 30 witnesses, the school’s statement reads.

“We took this incident very seriously and did a thorough and careful investigation,” said Wiley in the statement. “The evidence shows that, contrary to how the defendants originally portrayed things, these three individuals were not the victims of a crime. Rather, we allege that they are the perpetrators.”

University President Robert Jones met with 200 students and faculty Tuesday night to discuss race relations at Albany, telling the Albany Times Union, “This has been a very difficult time for the community.”

The newspaper also reports that at the meeting Jones, who has been criticized for immediately condemning the alleged attack and assuming it was accurate, said he was responding out of compassion.

Agudio, Briggs and Buwell are to appear for arraignment at Albany City Police Court on Feb. 29.

A phony movement must be fanned by the flames of staged attacks and lies, it seems.

She's become like Sasquatch of the Chappaqua woods. Anyone who spots her has to get their picture taken with her... but amazingly, the light is always just perfect and she photographs clear as day !
