We live in a time where racists sadly never get labeled as terrorists for their hate crimes. This was the case in the Washington D.C./Virginia area.
John Edgar Rust, a registered sex offender, recently opened up about planning a shooting at Howard University in 2015. He was at a Panera Bread in Virginia posting information on Reddit and 4Chan about the potential shooting, according to The Washington Post.
“Any ni**ers left at Howard University after 10 tomorrow will be the first to go. After all, it’s not murder if they’re black.”
Rust was eventually caught due to his phone and laptop being connected to Panera Bread’s wifi. He is now facing five years in prison.
