A celebrated Black Lives Matter activist ruined a white student's life by claiming she heard her threaten to run them over - only to later admit she may have misheard.
Zyahna Bryant, then 19, claimed she heard fellow University of Virginia student Morgan Bettinger threaten protesters by saying they'd 'make good speedbumps,' in July 2020 while George Floyd protests took place in Charlottesville.
Although Bettinger did admit during a student misconduct trial that she had said something similar to a truck driver that was blocking the road, she insists she hadn't said it as a threat.
Bettinger - whose late father was a police officer - says she had merely been sharing her relief that the unnamed truck driver was there to protect the protesters.
She says she did so because she was happy his presence lessened the chances of a repeat of the infamous 2017 Unite the Right rally in the city, which saw anti-racist protester Heather Heyer run over and murdered by a white supremacist.
But Bryant initially insisted on Twitter that Bettinger had indeed threatened her and others, even though it was later claimed she'd only been told about the speed bumps comment second hand.
She tweeted: 'The woman in this truck approached protesters in #Charlottesville, and told us that we would make 'good speedbumps.
'She then called the police and started crying saying we were attacking her.'
Critics called for Bettinger's expulsion and demanded the school stop graduating 'racists' and demanded her license being taken away.
The other alleged incident was supported by another witness, but the report said the person contradicted themselves and Bryant later changed her mind and admitted she may have heard the statement wrong.
It also found that the activist more than likely hadn't heard Bettinger say the words at all, but rather heard it from someone else who heard it from someone else.
'Based on Bryant's immediate and surprised tone following the second third party's reply, EOCR finds it more likely than not that it was at that moment Bryant first learned that [Bettinger] made a statement about protestors making speed bumps,' the report said.
Despite the report, her [Bettinger] future is still in limbo and her dreams of being a lawyer feel farther than reach.

This sounds like a classic Witch Hunt Story where Bettinger is the witch.
It's another faux hate crime claim.
The Left has an unhinged hate and fanaticism problem that needs to be brought under closer scrutiny.
We should not take their claims of racism seriously until it is proven.
