If it turns out to be a "false flag" operation, it will drop from the news like a hot potato.

near equivalent "Stand my Ground" post. Both were done to social media, and this is a long time Twitter account so it should be much easier to find whoever sent this message.

These things need to be taken seriously whatever the cause of the individual stating them. That includes treating "false flags" the same as actual cases of intimidation.

The world obviously revolves around them. The overwhelming need to constantly re-enforce their personal comfort zones leaves them fearful willfully ignorant and incurious.
When people don't have enough "doing" in their lives, they concentrate on "pooing" - just smear the shit in their lives all over everything else, instead of trying to figure out what's needed to clean up the messes.

... that the white oppressor university boss has been forced out by the oppressed football team and the oppressed multimillionaire student body prez, racist threats against whites are happening because "white privilege". Got it. If the football team is so oppressed, then why don't they simply quit? Maybe they are a little fonder of their "oppression" than they admit.

and prosecution of the "Stand Your Ground" messenger. If they can find the individual who did the swastika, then that person should be kicked out of the university and prosecuted as well.

I don't know about the Klan meetings. I do know that the President of the student body sent out a warning that it was "confirmed" that Klan was on the campus and to stay away from the windows. He retracted that message given that in no way was it ever "confirmed". Given his position as a student leader, I think his behavior should be investigated as well.
