...someone should have complained to their resident advisor and complained about there being a black history month display.

Duke University has launched an investigation after a printout of George Floyd's toxicology report was pinned to a Black History Month display.

The flier, which insinuated that Floyd died of a drug overdose, appeared next to a photo of him Saturday on a bulletin board on the third floor of a dormitory.

Each compound in his system was underlined with pink pen and, at the top, was written: 'Mix of drugs presents in difficulty breathing! Overdose? Good Man? Use of fake currency is a felony!' ...

Freshman student Matt Mohn told CNN that he first saw the printout on the billboard around noon Saturday.

He said the flier was taken down about 30 minutes after he texted his building's group chat and his resident advisor notified the school.

'All of a sudden, someone comes up and is essentially sticking a thumb in the face of every black person, saying his life didn't matter, that he wasn't a good person, because of one $20 bill,' Mohn said.

'I was just really really surprised by it, that someone would put that much effort into trying to strip someone of their humanity for no reason.'

Another freshman student, Michael Manns, who lives in the dormitory where the flier was pinned, said he didn't see it in person, but he did see a photo of it on social media.

'I was honestly terrified. I remember shaking in that moment,' Manns told CNN.

'That happened right down the hall from where I sleep, from where I'm supposed to be safe.'

Manns, who is black, said he thinks whomever pinned the report to the billboard believes Floyd either deserved to die or was responsible for his death - and said such a thought makes him feel uneasy.

'The thought that it could be someone I've lived with all these months really terrified me,' he told CNN. ...

WOW ... the thought that people might want to debate that Floyd could have some culpability in his own death just terrifies you, eh, Michael?! Good grief, you weenie ... grow a pair, already. You're in college ... where you are supposed to learn to be rationally analytical and think for yourself ... not be a pampered, spoon-fed snowflake who freaks out if you find the truth to be inconvenient.
