In reply to Ethan Kunz. Thank you. I completely agree. Anyone who is sensitive to the history of racial injustice should agree.

In reply to Sean Klover. He didn’t threaten to kill a particular person, or to do so in a particular place. I think his speech is protected, just as the speech of a Black man would be if he threatened to “kill whitey."

In reply to Nicolas Martin. It was a threat to shoot African-American students. It's not 1st Amendment protected speech.

In reply to Joseph O'leery. If he did violate terms of service, that is a civil matter, not criminal.

In reply to Derek. It is not good to ever wish for an outcome before an investigation is ever completed and the details released. We don't want to approach a 'witch trial' type situation even in the slightest.

In reply to Nicolas Martin. The student violated the terms and conditions of the social media outlet (Yik-Yak in this case.)

I would like to know what is going on with the 2nd threat that was made about shooting up the S&T campus. Has that person been caught? What is being done to find out who this is and keeping our students at Missouri S&T safe?

As an alumnus I am appalled to think MSM/UMR/S&T is involved in anything of this nature. Why would a student at Missouri S&T even want to be involved in anything at the Columbia campus? Glad that the trace was done so quickly. Hope he gets the full measure of what he deserves.

I would hope this student would be promptly expelled from the school. I have a student that lives in Thomas Jefferson and this scares the heck out of me. I hope an example is made here.

Why are his alleged threats not described in this article? How can we evaluate the constitutionality of his arrest without such details? This is Missouri’s vaunted journalism?

KY3 is reporting the following:

Missouri S&T student is accused of social media threat toward Mizzou students

Can you please confirm the threats were made towards Mizzou students?

Thank you
