Three black female college students who claimed to be victims of an assault by a group of white men and women have been charged themselves.
The University at Albany announced Thursday that two of the women, Ariel Agudio and Asha Burwell, have been charged with misdemeanor assault and falsely reporting an incident. The third woman, Alexis Briggs, has been charged with misdemeanor assault.
The women, all 20 years old, claimed they were attacked early on the morning of Jan. 30 while riding a bus. They claimed that they were called racial slurs and were physically attacked while bystanders looked on.
Investigators say a review of multiple videos of the incident showed no evidence the women were victims of a crime or subjected to racial slurs. In fact, police said the women were the aggressors, assaulting a 19-year-old white woman.
Police said surveillance and cellphone video, as well as eyewitness testimony, contradicted the women's account. The white men Agudio, Burwell and Briggs claimed assaulted them were actually trying to break up the fight.
"I especially want to point out that what happened on the bus was not a 'hate crime,'" University Police Chief Frank Wiley said in a statement, according to the Albany Times-Union.
The incident roiled tensions on campus and garnered extensive media attention, including a sympathetic tweet from Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
The false report charge against Aguido and Burwell stem from 911 calls the women made reporting the incident. In one of the calls, Agudio tells the dispatcher, "It was a racial crime. They were calling us [N-word] and all this stuff ... And if someone doesn't come and take this down or something, I'm going to call the news."
The women are scheduled to appear in court Monday. A conviction on the assault charges is punishable by up to one year in jail.
These idiots need to get charged with a hate crime themselves.
But the agenda driven lame stream media has brainwashed the American population into believing that only whites are perpetrators of hate crimes while blacks are always the victims.
The hypocrisy in those whole "black lives matter" movement is amazing.
But thanks to social media, when this whole nonsense dies down, we'll always know who those idiots are so they are unemployable.

You know, I once heard of case where a woman falsely charged a man of rape. Where was the whole "black lives matter" movement then? Hypocrites!...oh wait, different issues...just like here.
She's now in prison for fatally stabbing Reggie Daye, who by all accounts was an easy going guy. On his deathbed, he insisted he was trying to get away from her while she stabbed him.
She, of course, claimed self defense.
The woman undoubtedly has mental health issues. While her false accusations were taken seriously is beyond me. But it took a long time to sort it out.
Glad this was sorted out quickly.
