A college student in Texas who called for “all the black people” to be shot at a New Jersey high school is facing upgraded charges for suggesting the sick stunt, prosecutors said.
The comment from Kenneth Petersen, 21, of Stephenville, came in a group chat organized by a student at Northern Burlington Regional High School who was discussing senior pranks in May 2018, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office said Wednesday.
The student who created the chat on the messaging app GroupMe did not know Petersen, but access to the group was available to anyone with an account on the platform, Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said.
The student alerted her teacher to the alleged threat and a police investigation in Mansfield Township was launched. The comment was particularly concerning because it came just ahead of the school’s graduation ceremony – leading to an additional police presence there, Coffina said.

Did someone forget to tell this fool that racism is a thing of the past. At least that is what black folks have been told.
