One of the most offensive racist events that happened this week at the University of Missouri involved a swastika created by smearing feces on a bathroom wall.

Or did it?

Sean Davis at The Federalist is asking that question, as there seems to be a real dearth of evidence.

The poopstika — or scheissestika, for those of us with German background, which makes us all racists, anyway — was reported at 2:00 a.m. on October 24, according to Billy Donley, President of Mizzou’s Residence Halls Association (RHA). However, Donley later said he found out about it from a flyer posted on the dorm’s wall. Obviously Donley himself didn’t see it. Other RHA staffers told The Federalist that they hadn’t seen either. No photographic evidence exists. That didn’t stop Donley from issuing a sternly word letter:

The University of Missouri Police Department was called and investigated the complaint, but according to the public information officer, he didn’t see it either. When The Federalist questioned the officer if any other police personnel saw the offending image, he foisted off the inquiry to the custodian of public records.
