one whiny wimp gets messed with, like we all have at some point in time, and crys wolf. i personally know mr. whitlow and he would never do anything malicious towards anyone, EVER. it was simply a prank: young boys messing around. it's a damn shame that we live in this day and age; stiffled by overbearing, unjustly suspicious elders (...who need to focus their attention to more serious crimes that happen around them every day.)

Anon, you are an idiot. It was a pledge hoax -- do your homework. You probably believe there were weapons of mass destruction just because the government said so. Even the police eventually said the boys they arrested "probably though it was a fraternity prank." So did the fraternity brother/"victim" who is not pressing a single charge. Wake up and smell the coffee!!!! And tell the police to do something to make us safer rather than leveling felony charges at students to make a stupid point.
