So there's a little context for you.

How do you know his name was Blinky? :suspicious:

Good GRIEF guys. This is ridiculous. If they "knew exactly what they were doing" and they were trying to look like the Klan they'd have been wearing robes instead of white T shirts and pants. If you guys can find me a single picture of Ku Klux Klan people at a rally in white T shirts and pants instead of robes or sheets I might re consider. But I don't think you're going to be able to.
This thread seems to have really hit a nerve, John. Threads which ridicule racism or fundamentalist christianity or eugenics always seem to feature you on the defensive. :coffee:

I'm pretty positive the original Ghost of Christmas past nor any adaptation of it wears a white pointed hoodie, except at The Cit of course.

It was a female in the George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol I watched last night. No Klan hood either.

Unless you're an idiot troll.

Their intent was something other than what was perceived- regardless of those of you who would readily and gleefully believe otherwise.

They had pillowcases to work with. Maybe whatever air conditioned pansy school you went to was better resourced.

Um, you know the new barracks have air conditioning, right?

I think it's a travesty also. Effusive sweating and leg cramps at night build character.

Yes. We know the name of the cadet who became the ghost and also the name of the cadet who murdered him.

I'm just glad this isn't some weird racist deal and just a misunderstood drama club event involving a real historical ghost. :?

And why are they all playing the roll of Blinky? Are there no other characters in the story? :?

Fortunately, Gen Rosa isn't going to resign.

And once the investigation determines exactly what they were up to, they'll be disciplined accordingly.

Anything short of expulsion isn't going to please the social justice warriors, but The Citadel isn't known for being swayed by that crowd.

You don't have a clue what goes on at The Citadel. Past or present.

There's also a difference between making changes according to the law, and caving in to popular pressure.

One is called obeying the law.

The other is having no integrity and not standing up to the mob.
