Was FAMU's Student Death a Hate Crime?


In November, FAMU suffered a death of a student through hazing. Robert Champion was found dead on a traveling bus from severe hazing. According to FAMU, this was a normal ritual within their marching band. But Robert's death may have a sign of a hate crime.

Not a hate crime this was done by the BLOODS gang members in the band.
