NEW ORLEANS - A federal judge handed down three years of probation for a Mississippi man who, after the election of President Barack Obama, threatened to kill African Americans through a Facebook account, according to U.S. Attorney Jim Letten.
Dyron Hart, 20, who is black and a student at Nicholls State University, of Popularville, Miss., was sentenced for communicating threats in interstate commerce, said Letten.
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 Letten.
Hart used the name Colton Brodoux, setting up his fake page and a photograph of a white supremacist as the avatar on the site.
Posing as a white supremacist, Hart repeatedly used obscenities and the N-word, and he threatened to kill more than 3,000 black people in a month, court documents say. He warned those who received the message of an attack from a "random white man."
Hart must perform 150 hours of community service and complete racial sensitivity course.
Hart told FBI agents that he sent the message to “get a reaction.”

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH...!
One of the funniest comedic skits ever... along with the skit with Wayne Grady. Gimme your sandwich, Dave!
Mississippi ping
This is all the penalty he gets? Justice?????????
I wonder what percentage of threats against 0ba-Mao and blacks in general, made to look like white racists, are hoaxes like this one?
He will probably do those hours at the local ACORN office.
You think he would get off with a wrist slap?
Probation?! That’s it? Seems like people get sent up-river for a long time for lesser crimes every day. Who was the judge?
Is anybody keeping track of how long this streak is, of some report of a “white person” threatening a black person turns out to be a black person?
“Hart must perform 150 hours of community service and complete racial sensitivity course. “
If this had been a White man who made real or fake threats, the penalty would be 100 times more severe than that.
He tried to promote his racist cause by pretending to be a White man and then get Whites blamed for fake racism and thus get stronger “hate crime” laws passed.
Anyone who falsely accuses someone of a crime, must get the same penalty as the innocent person would have gotten.
“So, he might be dumb and blind? Wonder if he can hear?”
But can he also play pinball?

How do you think he does it?
I don’t know..
we have had precisely the same sort of imposters here on FR...and suspect we still do
and they play both sides
race baiter on one moniker
and racist agit prop on the other
What makes him so good?
He ain’t got no distractions..
