Latest on the police investigation from The Northerner Online (emphasis mine):

Students involved in the removal of the crosses have the possibility of facing criminal charges of a class D felony, according to NKU police. Though no charges have been pressed by the Northern Right to Life group, NKU Officer Rob Yelton said they are imminent. “The group has indicated that they are willing to press charges,” he said.

However, Yelton and Lt. Col. Jeffrey Martin don’t believe that the students involved will face legal retribution. “At this time, we don’t anticipate the students being charged,” Martin said. “They were intimidated by an authority figure into believing that this was not a criminal act.”

These college grad school students — supposedly intelligent adults — were “intimidated” into believing that what they were doing was not a criminal act? Phuuuuulease!

This doesn’t speak very well for the entrance requirments into Northern Kentucky University’s graduate school(s), does it? I mean, what kind of mental giant does it take to not know that destroying property that does not belong to you is a crime?

Those graduate students are just as culpable as their professor (who, apparently has issued an apology for her “impulsive action”) — they should either be punished for their complicity in the crime, or expelled for being stupid enough to think what they were doing was legal.

Of course, Jacobsen’s attorney says she does not believe anyone’s action constitutes a crime.

Uh…we’ll let a jury decide that. But how can you possibly believe that destroying someone else’s property does not constitute a crime? I guess Ms. Jacobsen and her attorney wouldn’t think it was crime if I went to her house and took a shit on her front porch — you know, in a “free speech” expression of my opinions of the ex-Professor.
