Feds: Black Man Posed As White Racist In Threats
Source: AP via Sun Herald

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.

Repeatedly using an obscenity and the N-word, the author of the message threatens to kill more than 3,000 black people in a month because of Obama's election and warns the recipient of a pending attack from "a random white man," according to the agent's affidavit.

I'm not sure what exactly this idiot was trying to accomplish. He wanted to "get a reaction"? What kind of reaction was he expecting? What a dumbass moran.

16. That was my first thought as well.
That is destined to become a classic comedy skit in the vein of "who's on first?"

I still laugh just thinking of the heads exploding.


On a more serious note, we really don't need shit-stirrers like this guy.

2. More at this related link:
http://www.sunherald.com/local/story/956655.html

The e-mail used profanity and racial slurs and threatened to kill the students because they are black and will soon have a black president, an FBI agent's affidavit said.

Part of the e-mail had this to say: "By the time you've read this I will have already planned on how I will kill you. I'm just letting you know so your (sic) not surprised when a random white man is walking down the street just split your (expletive deleted) head wide open."

The recipients didn't recognize the sender's name, but the FBI identified him after agents subpoenaed wireless data records, according to the complaint. Records show Hart identified himself on Facebook as Colten Brodoux.

The FBI agent testified Hart admitted he sent the message to people on his "friends" list, including students at NSU, Louisiana State University, the University of Mississippi, the University of Alabama and individuals near his hometown.

12. Maybe worse
he actually threatened people with physical harm. In any case, we need to denounce him in no uncertain terms, all I heard over backwards B girl was crickets chirping from the right wing.

Stuff like this is very counter-active to fighting and exposing racism. He's 19, so hopefully he will grow up after this.

17. As a black man, there is a certain amount of relief
that it was another black man, as odd as that sounds. Sure, there are racists who could have sent that email, but to know that it was a fluke and not a real danger gives me some comfort.

That being said, I hope the profundity of his stupidity will sink in rapidly!

19. Sickness aside... the guy obvioulsy has problems, but
this is sorta funny. This is the first time I have heard of black person committing a crime and claim that was a white person. It's usually the other way around.

22. You'd better believe it! Too many incidents in memory to be able to forget the dirty, cowardly way
people who have actually done something evil have attempted to claim someone else has done it, and get their police force looking for a totally innocent person to throw in jail for their crimes. Anyone who attempts to fan the flames of fear and/or hatred of people of a group of people they're not familiar with, don't know, don't respect, in any way whatsoever shows himself, herself to the world as someone not capable of operating as his/her own agent, but needs far more guidance.

23. i guess he did it for the lulz
i had a roommate in college (black) who LOVED to do exactly that...This was back in the AOL heydays, and he would go into black chatrooms and pretend to be a neo-nazi, and then go to the white power chats and play the role of Louis Farrakhan...
