A black student blamed his “bottled up anger” for racist, threatening graffiti he admitted to scrawling in a bathroom on a Maryland college campus, according to a police report.
Baltimore County police on Monday filed hate crime charges against 21-year-old Fynn Arthur, a Brunswick, Maine, resident who was enrolled as a student at Goucher College in Towson.
Police arrested Arthur last Thursday on misdemeanor charges of malicious destruction of property. He was released from custody after a court hearing last Friday. State’s Attorney Scott Shellenberger said his office subsequently recommended the additional charges, which also are misdemeanors.
“We felt that with the message that was involved, there was sufficient evidence that the motive behind the message was race-related,” he told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Arthur told investigators he was responsible for the bathroom graffiti of a backward swastika and a death threat that included a racial slur against blacks and the numbers of dorm rooms belonging to black students, including himself, the police report says.
“When asked why he would do something like that, he replied that he has a lot of built up anger with no way to vent it on campus,” the report says.
Arthur, who was a member of the Goucher College men’s lacrosse team, has been banned from campus pending disciplinary proceedings, college officials said in a statement. The officials said they were “shocked and saddened that these acts were committed by a member of our own College community.”
“These acts of hate have consumed our community, and we feel strongly that the suspect should receive the strongest charges, which reflect the seriousness of these crimes,” said their statement, dated last Friday.
Shellenberger said he doesn’t know if Arthur has an attorney. Efforts to reach Arthur weren’t immediately successful Tuesday.
The new charges that Arthur faces make it a crime to damage property because of a person or group’s race, religious, sexual orientation or national origin.
ETC...
The same penalty for him as for a Whitey.
I believe Conservatives are sick and tired of the propaganda being spewed out of the mouths of Black democrats that promotes hatred and causes young Blacks to become angry and rebellious and vent their anger by committing crimes of this nature. Despite all the advantages legislated to assist them, young blacks are acting out as chronic victims when they should be thankful that American Society constantly reaches out a helping hand.

Just one important question, How many white, heterosexual, conservative men were harrassed on campus for just being white, heterosexual, conservative men while the “investigation “ was on going? But I guess the seriousness of the crime warranted them to be guilty until proven innocent, and even then still guilty by existence. I wish this was sarcasm.
“But black privilege! He’s in a protected class!”
Did you see his picture? Give him green eyes and has me at that age. I’m German, but get taken for Latino. Go figure. His real problem is that he’s not black enough to get all the bennies.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
