Black Man Becomes Obama-Hating White Supremacist on Facebook
The U.S. Attorney's Office says 20-year-old Dyron L. Hart of Poplarville pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to making a threat in November 2008.
Hart admitted creating a name and using a white supremacists' photo to pose as a white man who planned to kill blacks because Barack Obama had been elected president.
He originally was charged with threatening three black students at Nicholls State — where he had attended one semester — but pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count.
He sent the threats from a computer in Poplarville.
The maximum sentence is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine; sentencing is Nov. 18.
Why did Hart do this? Frankly we have no idea. He wouldn't friend us on Facebook.
