Wild Night At Mizzou...KKK Rumors Fly Around Campus, Suspect Arrested For Making Death Threats On Yik Yak

…

Quick update on everything that went down last night at Missouri while a lot of people were sleeping…

Wild night. Death threats circulating on Yik Yak (above) understandably freaking people out on campus. Tensions through the roof.

Good news is they arrested the loser who sent them at 6 AM this morning and he wasn’t actually in the area.

MU Alert – University of Missouri Police have apprehended the suspect who posted threats to campus on YikYak and other social media. The suspect is in MUPD custody and was not located on or near the MU campus at the time of the threat. We will update this website as additional information is confirmed. MU is operating on a regular schedule. Please check here for official information. Safety is the university’s top priority and we are working hard to assure that the campus remains safe while information is obtained and confirmed.

You had this lunatic ranting and raving in the middle of “Speaker’s Circle”:

Rumors of a pickup truck driving around yelling slurs at black students:

Students pleading for classes to be cancelled today:

Of course…there was also a lot of stuff that didn’t actually help.

Like, for example, the Student Body President “confirming” the KKK was on campus…then casually retracting it later on after successfully causing widespread panic.

Solid leadership right there.

Same with Hunger Strike kid himself, Jonathan Butler.

Just a complete and total mess in Columbia. Hope the Dixie guys get out while they can.

(Sidenote: “Dixie” – textbook microaggression right there)
