SHIT JUST GOT (UN)REAL? Prof. Stephen Clark emails:

I think you are correct to suggest as you did here http://instapundit.com/218576/ that the students at Mizzou are being used. I gave my more pedestrian take here: http://instapundit.com/218480/?show-at-comment=1848057#comment-1848057 Think of this as the opportunistic coup scenario that leveraged this cluster-fuck.

The question Sean Davis has been pursuing is the one to press: http://thefederalist.com/2015/11/10/was-the-poop-swastika-incident-at-mizzou-a-giant-hoax/ This question occured to me and none of the local reporting contained what you would have expected in light of the resignations. Now, there may be evidence of the “poopstika”, but it hasn’t been produced and what was offered was debunked. The reaction that Davis reports from local officials is the tell.

It’s appropriate to say that “this shit just got real”, or maybe not. But, unless some definitive explanation is produced soon. Things will get ugly. Fast.

Meanwhile, looking at the Mizzou YikYak feed, a lot of students are sorry the university caved, but worried about this potential threat:

If all this was over a hoax, it’ll pretty much suck.
