Cruelty in Connecticut

by D.R. Tucker
November 5, 2017


A University of Hartford student faces a hate crime charge after she admitted to covertly harassing her black roommate, according to police.

Why do I get the sense that Ms. Brochu’s family didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton last November?

What sort of sick mind would allegedly engage in this sort of behavior in the name of ousting a roommate? Where would this suspect get the idea that threatening an innocent woman’s health is OK?

Where do you think?

Remember the young men marching in Charlottesville in August? It appears that there are quite a few young women who think just like those men, quite a few young women who believe that the races should be separated, quite a few young women who have taken Breitbart to heart.

Like Charlottesville, this alleged hate crime in Hartford shows that some young Americans think white privilege is a good and positive thing, and recognize no moral degradation in segregation. Even if Brochu is convicted-—especially if Brochu is convicted—the odds are better than average that 20 years from now, she’ll be an evening host on Fox News. After The O’Reilly Factor, The Kelly File and The Ingraham Angle, The Brochu Briefing would fit right in, no?

No words for what she did.

She is a very disturbed young woman. It is beyond appalling and needs psychiatric evaluation. She was of course expelled from the school, but I think she should be locked up.

In one of the seasons of MTV’s The Real World, one roommate used another’s toothbrush to scrub a toilet, then bragged about it.

In that particular case, it was a gay black male who did it to his white roommate...it’s sickening no matter who does it.
