I'm warning everyone to beware the rush to judgment in the Cornell rape case, which bears some similarities to past media misfires like UVA and Duke Lacrosse. It's wildly inappropriate to demand mob justice for those 7 fraternity brothers based on details in a lawsuit that are totally contradicted by earlier statements the purported victim made to police.
This does not mean she's lying, or that nothing bad happened, just that it's far too early to pre-judge this case. And really we all ought to know better by now.

A police officer in Cedartown, Georgia shot a pet donkey named Heehaw while trespassing on private property.
C.J. Ciaramella at @reason got the incident report, which you can read below.
I'm a civil rights attorney at a non-profit, and I'd like to speak with Heehaw's family.

This essay by @Tyler_A_Harper is destined to become a classic. Anyone interested in the pathologies that have undermined the integrity of higher education in the past decade needs to read it. By telling his personal story, he places a spotlight on them.
