A hate crime or not?

Russell Brown blogged last week with his lead item being how “Kansas university professor Paul Mirecki, who devised a course describing intelligent design as “mythology”, has been tailgated then beaten by two men who made reference to his course as they dealt to him.”

Obviously such an act, if accurately described, is appalling. But did it happen as the professor claimed? Michelle Malkin has not come to any conclusions, but points out the Police no longer are calling it a hate crime, and also that the professor has suddenly resigned from the university and is refusing to give any more interviews.

There may well be logical explanations for all of this, time will tell.
