A Conservative University Student trying to make it look like some sort of attacks from an Anti-Conservative Radical.
"A Princeton University student who argued that his conservative views were not accepted on the campus confessed to fabricating an assault and sending threatening e-mail messages to himself and some friends who shared his views, authorities said Monday.
Princeton Township police said Francisco Nava was not immediately charged with any crime, but the investigation was continuing.
Nava claimed to have been assaulted Friday by two men off-campus, police said. But he later confessed that scrapes and scratches on his face were self-inflicted, and that the threats were his work, too, said Detective Sgt. Ernie Silagyi.
...
Nava, a 23-year-old junior politics major from Bedford, Texas, found himself at the center of one campus controversy recently when he wrote a column for the student newspaper, The Princetonian, criticizing the school for giving out free condoms, which he said encouraged a dangerous "hook-up culture." A debate followed on the opinion pages of the paper.
A short time later, Nava made his first report to the university public safety office that he was receiving threatening messages in his campus mailbox. A friend says Nava told him one message read, in capital letters: "ONE MORE ARTICLE AND YOU WON'T LIVE TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY."
Other members of the Anscombe Society, a conservative student organization, who have spoken out against premarital sex and gay marriage, said they received similar threats. So did Robert George, a professor in the politics department.
But the threats, like the attack, turned out to be a hoax."
