Missouri student who threatened to shoot "every black person I see" will not get any prison time

A former student at the University of Missouri who threatened to shoot ‘every black person I see’ on the campus will not serve any prison time, reports the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Hunter Park, 20, was given a three-year suspended sentence and five years of probation for posting online threats against black students on the MU campus following protests last November that led to the resignation of the school’s president and chancellor.

Last year, MU president Tim Wolfe, and chancellor R. Bowen Loftin, both stepped down following protests by African-American students and a threat of a walkout by faculty over racist incidents on the campus.

Writing on the social media platform Yik Yak, Park posted, “I’m going to stand my ground and shoot every black person I see” followed by “Some of you are alright. Don’t go to campus tomorrow.”

As a result of Park’s online threats, many MU students did not attend class on Nov. 11 and several businesses in downtown Columbia closed for the day.
