The Union County prosecutor’s office says McKelvey participated in a Nov. 17 rally on racial issues at Kean and then went to a computer station in a campus library and posted anonymous threats on Twitter against black students."
McKelvey then allegedly returned to the rally and tried to raise awareness about the threats. One tweet made reference to a bomb on campus; others were about shooting black students. She’s scheduled to make a court appearance in two weeks.
There was genuine fear on campus for a few days, and it lingered until prosecutors released this info today.
The consensus in class tonight was that this was probably the worst person who could have done this. The campus is incredibly diverse and the initial threats were a huge deal. Having the black alumnus who also happened to be the former president of the Pan African Student Union fake the threats is revolting.
I have a class with the current president of the PASU. I am interested in what she's going to have to say on all of this.

Fake Hate Crimes. It's almost like a form of Munchausen Syndrome. They're all competing for however many victim slots there are out there in the world, which nowadays appear to be unlimited.
I have figured out what "White Privilege" is. It's not having excuses for your failures, and I have to admit that is a powerful advantage. The great thing is that it's entirely within your own control to appropriate that privilege if you choose.
When are any of these so-called campus "Hate crimes" EVER true? As far as I can tell, the fake rate is approaching 100 percent.
But despite the history of fakery, every "crime" is treated as 100 percent true until proven otherwise.
