NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A Poplarville, Miss., man has been arrested
and accused of sending racist electronic death threats to three
students at Louisiana's Nicholls State University by way of their
Facebook accounts.
The FBI in New Orleans said Friday that 19-year-old Dyron Hart
was arrested Thursday on a criminal complaint accusing him of
sending the messages, which contained racial epithets and death
threats, to two black women and one black man at Nicholls, located
in Thibodaux, La. The writer of the message cast himself as a white
man who intended to kill blacks because of the election of Barack
Obama as president.
An FBI agent's affidavit on the case says that Hart, who is
black, told the agent that he sent the messages to "get a
reaction."

I would bet mainstream media brushes it under the rug. Wrong is wrong, but the liberal media will laugh it off. I truly feel that had the mainstream media done their job, of being objective in their reporting-we would have seen different election results. But as it was, Catie Couric looked like she would swoon when she interviewed the big O, yet could barely repress her sneers and snide comments when talking to McCain/Palin. I’ve pretty much tuned out mainstream national media for that reason.

I’m thinking the movie “White Chicks”....

It sure sounds like a hate crime to me,regardless of the color of his skin! Let’s see how it’s treated to get an idea on how evenly hate crimes are pursued by the FBI or the Justice department to get a better idea on what needs to be changed.

You don’t usually hear a story from this point of view on the news. They need to play this story up as much as they did about the one where the lady carved the “B” in her forehead. We need to have equal time and equal investigations into things like this. I wonder if he was part of Obama’s campaign.
