Missouri student arrested for making racist threats on YikYak

Aged nineteen, from St. Louis, Hunter Park is a computer science student at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. He is charged with posting a threat about shooting every black person he sees on campus, except some are good guys.

Details of story at St Louis Today

Why would a computer science person do this? What in St. Louis would provoke a student to do such a thing? Is this the institutionalized racism the BLM student protestors are talking about (right at finals) or is this fresh racism reacting to fresh forces?  Hunter does not look anything like what we imagine racists look like and that is the point of the protesting students. Thanks Hunter, for demonstrating their point that everybody is racist inside. Truly racist or merely provoked Hunter still proved their point. He reinforced their worldview. He fed the unholy monster.

You're supposed to starve the monster, not feed it. Starve it by not giving it energy. The same type of energy that I feed the same monster by mentioning and discussing. So I'm guilty as well, here, let's draw a picture. Let's do something different instead. I like Hunter Park's look. He should be doing fun things like riding dirt bikes or rock climbing, not getting into trouble at university.

Hunter's got a great profile. Let's draw him.

He'd probably be an OK guy, hiking, and camping, and working as a welder somewhere doing productive things along side other people of all colors working together to build something ...
if he wasn't at a University wasting time and learning to hate.

I heard somewhere, might have been The Five, that he's not a student at Mizzou.

Details about what has gone on there are very sketchy.

Yes, living in a city where going downtown is an iffy adventure he became a "racist." Wouldn't you?
