Hate Crime Hoax: LGBT Ohio University Student Charged After Claiming She Received Death Threats, She Sent Them To Herself

Will still go in the books as a hate crime.
Via Daily Wire:
The latest in a long string of hate-crime hoaxes comes from Ohio, where a woman claimed she received death threats — only for police to discover she sent the threats to herself.
Anna Ayers, a journalism major and a member of the Student Senate at Ohio University, claimed she found two of the threatening notes — one of which contained a death threat — in her desk drawer at her office in the Student Senate Office. She said she also found a “hateful, harassing” message at her residence that used a derogatory term in reference to her being a member of the LGBT community, according to the student newspaper The Post Athens.
Ayers was also on the Post’s publishing board and a former columnist.
The Student Senate devoted time to discussing the notes. An emotional Ayers claimed she was “angry, frustrated and disappointed” after the first threat, and called her parents to tell them about it. Because two of the messages were found in her Student Senate desk, the threats were at first believed to have come from another member of the organization.
“Senate will never be the same for me,” Ayers said in front of her Student Senate peers. “The friendships will continue to grow, and our successes will always evoke pride, but the memory of my time in senate and at OU will be marred by this experience. We will all have a memory of a time when this body failed one of its own.”[…]
On Monday, Ayers was arrested by OU police for sending the threats to herself. She was charged with making three false reports to police. A false report of this nature is considered a first-degree misdemeanor. She faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each charge. Considering how previous hate-crime hoaxes have been treated, she won’t receive anything close to that.

Whatever happened to "snowflake" being a banned word on this site?
Moderators are allowed to use banned words now?
Wow.
Wait, is there a list of banned words somewhere? Where is it located? Can e add words to it?
Or is it BF can't call you a 'Snowflake', regardless if you resembled one or not, becuase that would be insuling another member?
I said "Trump supporters have no honor" and I was given a coc violation.

And that's truly the sad after effect of the Kavanaugh confirmation fiasco.
#believewomen right? No one would ever lie about a thing like that, right?
That there is one sick puppy! Instead of sending her to jail, put her in a mental institution...
