Another Absurd and Senseless Crime
November 15th, 2008
Take the color of ones skin out of the equation and please explain to me who in their right mind does something like this:
A black man from Mississippi has been arrested and accused of sending racist death threats over the Internet to three black students at Louisiana’s Nicholls State University.
The FBI in New Orleans said Dyron Hart, 19, was arrested Wednesday. He is accused of sending the messages by way of the students’ Facebook accounts. The messages contained racial epithets and death threats and were sent to two black women and a black man at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La.
The author of those messages cast himself as a white man who intended to kill blacks because Barack Obama was elected president.
Hart told an FBI agent that he sent the messages to “get a reaction,” according to the agent’s sworn statement.
The criminal complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in New Orleans. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten’s office said Hart made his initial court appearance in Biloxi. It was unclear when he would be brought to New Orleans.
Although the case sprang from a probe into messages sent to the three Nicholls State students, the FBI agent’s statement said Hart also admitted sending the message to students at other institutions, including LSU, the University of Mississippi and the University of Alabama.
Is it hatred, stupidity, seeking 15 minutes of fame or is a person like this simply unstable? Whatever the answer, Mr. Hart has now received a “reaction” on which he no doubt did not plan.
