A black Mississippi man, Dyron L. Hart, was given 3 years of probation for threatening to kill African Americans through a fake Facebook account.
Hart, 20, must also pay a $1,000 fine; perform 150 hours of community service; complete a racial sensitivity course; and get a job, finish his education, or both, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Back in August, ” Hart created a fictitious name and used the photograph of a white supremacist to communicated a threat. He then purported to be a person outraged by the election of President Barack Obama when he used a Facebook account on a computer in Poplarville, Mississippi to transmit a threat to an African American student at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana indicating he wanted to kill African American individuals because of the election of the President,” said U.S attorney Jim Letten.
He posed as a white supremacist with the alias Colton Brodoux and a photograph of a white supremacist as the avatar in his fake page.
He was originally charged with sending threat from a Poplarville computer to three black students at Nicholls State, where he studied one semester. However, he pleaded guilty to just one count.
