Sailor staged racist vandalism, Navy says

Navy Times
I'd be so pissed if I had to undergo extra training because of a false flag.
When is this crap going to end? It's really unfortunate that it's now happening in our military. And I know this isn't the first instance of it.

A sailor who claimed someone scrawled racial slurs on his bed aboard an aircraft carrier —sparking a viral Facebook post in the process — staged the incident himself, the Navy said Friday. Marquie Little, a 27-year-old African American seaman, posted photos to Facebook on Nov. 15 under an alias that showed his rack on the carrier George H.W. Bush covered in trash and racial slurs. “I proudly serve the Navy and this is what I’m receiving in return,” he wrote in the post.

“It’s not my first time being called a word such as that,” the aviation boatswain’s mate airman said in a phone interview later that month. “It puzzled me as to who would do it and why they would do it.” But on Friday Cmdr. Dave Hecht, a spokesman for Naval Air Force Atlantic, said “a thorough investigation” conducted with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service found inconsistencies in the sailor’s account. “A NCIS-supported command investigation following claims of racially-motivated vandalism aboard the (carrier) has determined that the alleged victim staged the incident himself,” Hecht said in an email.
quote:
“The United States Navy does not tolerate racial discrimination of any form and the well-being of our Sailors is our top priority,” Hecht said. Hecht declined to identify the sailor because he was not charged with a crime, but said the sailor had “received appropriate administrative actions and additional counseling and training.”

Little denied staging the racist vandalism, and said Friday that NCIS had not done a proper investigation, but did not elaborate. “And now I’m to be here looking like a bad guy for attention,” Little wrote in a text message. “I have nothing to gain from doing such an incident but I have everything to lose.” Hecht said that, while the Navy had disproven the sailor’s claims, it used the incident to provide additional crew training and reemphasize that vandalism and racism would not be tolerated.

Reportedly the racial message said "N********** is not wanted here" - a message of hate obviously written by a trump supporter

I'm shocked, I tell you. Shocked!

the important thing is the conversation was started

That conversation needs to involve the words "Code Red".

i have the perfect solution to end this shite, once and for all....if a case comes up where there is racism charges, investigate the charges, and if the charges are true, then correct the situation and award compensation to the victim, BUT if the charges are a hoax and are proven to be done by the person alleging the racism, shoot him/her on the spot...that will end shite like this

We should all look deeper at this and understand that the sailor in question was just crying out for attention because he has some kind of mental disorder....
Actually he was just a dumbass...

SJWism - creating solutions for problems that don't exist.

The simplest solution in this particular instance would be to offer the alleged victim the following choice:
A) Allow the NCIS to conduct a full investigation into the incident, and at the conclusion of the investigation the party or parties determined to be responsible for the vandalsim, no matter who or whom it was, would be immediately relieved of duty and subject to dishonorable discharge proceedings.
B) Personally remove all evidence of the incident, permanently remove all social media postings referencing the incident and all parties will pretend it never happened.
Give the Seaman a few minutes to decide on which path to proceed, with the understanding that the choice is irrevocable once made.
Pretty sure adopting this as SOP would result in legitimate incidents of racism being swiftly punished, and hoaxes ceasing to be an issue.

Yeah, if I'm on duty with that guy, I'm mad as hell over this.
I worked at a company where our VP HR got nailed in a phishing scam and sent some spammer every single employees W2. Did the VP HR face any consequences? No. But they did do 8 one hour training sessions over 2 months to train every other employee how to avoid getting scammed and what to look for.
Back to the subject, I think the guy outta be punished. That's some straight up bullshite and I don't want to go into battle with a person that I cannot trust.

Once again, these stories prove that America is doing a great job on matters of race relations. Not perfect, but very good.

99.9% of white people give zero fricks about your skin color, so long as you're legally in the country. Sure, our opinion of you goes up when you actually pay taxes, but most of us are cordial and accommodating. This media rhetoric has been nothing but toxic, and has seemed to lead to this type of story whenever someone wants attention (usually they're fricking up in life and need cover I'm sure). So instead of taking responsibility for their actions in some failing situation in their life, they seem to revert to "write racial slurs, report it, all responsibilities gone".
