A black college lacrosse player has been arrested in connection with two incidents of racist graffiti found in a dorm on the Goucher College campus in Maryland.
Fynn Ajani Arthur, a 21-year-old from Brunswick, Maine, was charged with two counts of malicious destruction of property on Thursday night in Baltimore County.
His arrest came after graffiti aimed at black and Latino students was found on the second floor of a campus dorm, one floor above where similar graffiti had been found on November 14, Goucher College administrators said in a statement.
Both incidents that shook the Towson campus involved backward swastikas and targeted specific individuals, according to the statement.
Thursday's graffiti depicted swastikas, the letters 'KKK' and appeared to include the last names of four black students, including Arthur. The previous graffiti reportedly said all 'n*****s' on campus would be killed.
Arthur was released his own recognizance after a bail review hearing on Friday, according to jail records.
He has been banned from campus pending a student conduct review.
Goucher Public Safety officials worked with Baltimore County Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Baltimore Field Office to investigate both of graffiti incidents.
They determined that Arthur was responsible for the messages based on evidence found Thursday, police say.

Ha Ha!
Victim hood has become a much sought after status. Manning up, not so much.
I was in India recently for business. Of course, the backward swastika is a quite common Buddhist/Hindu symbol seen everywhere (of course, they had it first, so Hitler's was actually backwards). Got into a brief conversation with a local about the swastika. This person had no idea who the Nazis were, no idea what the symbol meant in the West, and no concept that anyone would use it for anything except its "good luck" symbolism.
I found it really refreshing - a place and people with no concept of Western political correctness that consumes SJWs here.....
That’s one way to get out taking finals...

First, I didn't know there were any black people IN Maine, and second, since when do they play "Lacrosse"?

“Demand far outstrips supply, so they have to manufacture them. “
Right, that’s what I’ve been saying.
It’s almost as if there’s a (growing?) segment of the African American community that yearns for the days of Klan marches, helmeted white police with water canons and barking German shepherds...
So they can be victims??!!
WTF
Being a victim makes things easier? i don't know...
Given he’s black and from Brunswick, I’m surprised that Bowdoin didn’t recruit him.
There are thousands of blacks in Maine. The state imported them from Somali so they could have diversity.
This guy’s family must have money because Goucher costs $59,000 a year. He doesn’t look like he’s from Somali though.
Say that with a straight face, ladyjane, and you're on your way to a great stand-up routine.
(Sadly, I know it wasn't meant to be funny, but the Left does lots of stuff you just couldn't make up)

“The FBI? Really? “
Hate crimes have a special status above regular crimes. It’s much more important if somebody is harmed in a hate crime than if they are harmed in a non-hate crime. Especially, if the crime’s target is a protected class member. (That means, non-white.) This has been decreed by our lawmakers.
I read an explanation of why it is okay to commit crimes against whites. Whites are oppressors or have historically been oppressors. Thus, anything done by a protected class member to a white is retribution for past white crimes against other races. (Really. Dead serious. Published by some white chick in a college paper.)
I have yet to see a picture of this creep. I’m b guessing it’s got dreds.
“charged with two counts of malicious destruction of property”
Why not charged with “hate crime”? I’m sure plenty kids had their feelings hurt.
Just as the husband/boyfriend is *always* the prime suspect when a woman is harmed a member of an oppressed group should always be the prime suspect in such “hate crimes”.

Absolutely true. But, unfortunately, the Political Correctness Commissars have decreed that that must never be spoken or expressed. Of course investigators worth their salt will silently act in accordance with that understanding.
Why in heaven’s name did the liberals decide to import Somalis to Maine and to Minnesota. These people had never seen snow - or toilets or washing machines! What were they thinking?
