A student at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) was arrested after he posted a message on Twitter that threatened to kill his professor for scheduling an exam early in the morning.

FAU police arrested Rafael Decomas last week after receiving a tip about a Twitter post from Decomas, according to local news outlet WPTV.

His Twitter post stated “i gern (expletive) kill dis professor bey this is my confession to a premeditated murder" in a direct tweet to another user appearing to be his girlfriend.

Decomas is a commuter student and was upset he would have to wake up at 5 a.m. to be able to get to campus by 7:00 a.m., according to police reports.

The 20-year-old student was charged with written threats to kill or do bodily injury,.

Decomas told police he did not intend to harm his professor or anyone else. He was released on bond from Palm Beach County Jail last week following the incident.

How on earth did someone with his obvious lack of English skills get admitted to a college? And be able to remain there? Another question—is this guy an illegal? He sounds like he would be absolutely NO asset for the U.S., so why keep him around?

I’m guessing he’s not one of the A students.

On the contrary, he’s the valedictorian.

From his picture at the link, looks like he’s legal and a well trained, expert user of Ebonics. Also fits the usual description. Need I say more?

Jeez! Why not just pull an "all nighter" like the rest of the university. Put down the books at 5:00am, go to the Waffle House for a big breakfast, and you're ready to go at 7:00am!

Student loans.
The colleges don’t care as long as they get paid.

When I worked in Japan, there were a few times I needed to report in at 6 am for a conference call in a different time zone. The first train in the morning barely got me there in time. We dealt with it, because that is what professionals are supposed to do.
