Federal agents have arrested a black man in Buffalo, New York, for making a false threat against black people to see whether racists on social media would support him.
According to WIVB-TV in Buffalo, Rolik Walker, 24, of Buffalo, was arrested for a tweet he supposedly published on May 16 from an anonymous account. In the tweet, he reportedly threatened that he and his "associates" would be "targeting" Buffalo-area grocery stores and that they were "only looking to kill blacks."
Walker, who is black, allegedly issued the tweet under the Twitter handle @ConklinHero just two days after white man Payton Gendron, 18, from Conklin, New York, allegedly shot and killed 10 black people and injured three others at a Tops Friendly Markets grocery store in Buffalo. The violent crime has been deemed a "racially motivated hate crime."
An FBI affidavit claims that Walker "stated that the purpose of the post was to see what everyone would say and if anyone would agree with him.”
Court filings state that Walker attempted to obscure the origin of the @ConklinHero account by using an app that masks IP addresses.
Prosecutors also claim that Walker told law enforcement that he created a second anonymous Twitter account “in an effort to rectify the earlier post.” In the second post, Walker supposedly replaced "only looking to kill blacks" with "ants, spiders and things of that nature." Police say they did recover from his cellphone a screenshot of a post from the second account that claims he didn't mean any harm.
On Thursday, U.S Attorney Trini E. Ross announced that Walker had been arrested and charged with making an interstate threat. The charge carries a sentence of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Walker appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael J. Roemer on Thursday and was given a conditional release. He has been assigned an attorney.
This guy would have fun over at n*****mania.club.
The reason he changed that one sentence was because someone said hey moron, thats a crime and he said reallllllly?????

I saw this all over the news yesterday and every media outlet went to great lengths to hide that the perp was black.
Not even an origin thought
Seems to me that the people who care the most about race are either libetals, or blacks.
Whites won’t even have the courtesy to be racist, now the blacks have to do it to themselves.

Sadly a significant number of black people make false accusations to make non-blacks look bad. The fake graffiti slurs on college campuses and in cities are examples. Big headline grabbers.
Just one here: At Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti, MI a series of terrifying slurs against blacks were spray painted overnight for several weeks. Black people and their sign carrying supporters went into the main highway and blocked traffic for hours (businesses and the main route to the University of Michigan were blocked more than once).
Speeches were made, students and staff were made to go to sensitivity shaming sessions to put an end to the obvious racism. Finally, police used overnight cameras to see the man who turned out to be in his late 30s, never a college student and.....and.....he was black.

As they should have arrested him.
Anybody check out a window?
“This is MAGA Country!”
Weren’t there some black churches burned down, whom it was later found out it was a black guy doing it?
And it’s ANOTHER race crime hoax!!
As we have been saying for years now the demand for racism greatly exceeds the supply.
As others have said, and with whom I agree, we don’t have a race problem - we have a problem race.
Hundreds of instances of that.

Jussie Smollett was the tip of the iceberg.
Yes.
I knew Jussie wouldn’t serve time in jail, he will never spend another day in jail.
Thanks for the fake hate crimes link.
So, pretty much every weekend in Chicago.
Yup
