Bleach Balloons Attack Black and Asian Students at University of Texas

Several students at the University of Texas (UT) are reporting to be the victims of  racially-motivated "bleach bombs." Four Asian and Black students claim they were hit or almost hit by these flying projectiles that were filled with beach.

The bleach attacks occurred near West Campus, which is not officially a part of the University of Texas campus, but it does house many students.  The students claim these attacks occurred between July and September, and informed UT Campus Police about the incidents this week.

Many members of the UT campus community have rallied around its Martin Luther King, Jr. statute to protest these attacks.

UT alumni Chas Moore told the media, "This is not 1960. We are not goint to be afraid to walk anywhere. We are not going back in time."
