COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A man who posted threatening messages against black people on an anonymous social media app during racial protests at the University of Missouri last year has been sentenced to probation.
Hunter Park was a Missouri University of Science and Technology student on Nov. 10 when he posted the messages on Yik Yak. The 20-year-old Lake St. Louis man’s posts included statements that he was going to shoot every black person he sees. They came the day after weeks of protests led to the ouster of then-University of Missouri president Tim Wolfe and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin.
Park pleaded guilty in April making a terroristic threat.
The Columbia Daily Tribune (http://bit.ly/1PwGKBQ ) reports that on Thursday, he received a three-year suspended sentence and was placed on five years of probation.

What’s the year again?
Hey, it’s Missouri, where they don’t lower the flag under the President’s order, because he’s one of them, and the Orlando victims were some of those.
If anyone has ever earned a lifetime ban on owning any firearms, this guy has. So I’m sure the judge has imposed that condition. Right? Right?
depends on which state you live in.
Five years of no anonymous talking tough on the intertubes. Now just how is Weeny McWienerson there going to feel grr grr manly without that? Five whole years where he can’t say he’s gonna kill this one and he’s gonna kill that one just you wait and see. How in the world do you feel strong and assertive without making anonymous death threats and so forth? Is that even possible? Sucks to be you pal!
