OU's Sigma Alpha Epsilon to sue university (this is a joke, right?)

FOR reported today that OU's Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter, which was shut down after a racist video surfaced Sunday evening, is planning to pursue legal action against the University of Oklahoma, and possibly OU President David Boren.

The group has hired high-profile attorney Stephen Jones to represent them.

Jones told NewsChannel 4 the group is outraged over President Boren shutting down the fraternity house and branding all SAE members as racists and bigots.

Stephen Jones represented the Oklahoma City terrorist Timothy McVeigh. He must be so proud of himself.

They're protecting their brand. Frats are under siege these days: many of their past sins are coming to bite them.

Are you opposed to having unpopular defendants being represented?

Just 50-60 people who don't want to take responsibility.

More and more videos and other info will come to light. People will break whatever silence there is left. SAE will look even worse and that will be very bad compared to now.

They want something but it isn't a trial.

The Kappa Kappa Kappa fraternity is simply preparing them for a lifetime of making racist remarks and then being shocked, shocked when people brand them racists.

There is absolutely nothing that can go well about such a suit for SAE as a national fraternity.

Just the thought of what could come out in discovery probably terrifies SAE national. If not, then they don't have very good lawyers.
