A note that used the n-word and threatened a black female student at St. Olaf College — sparking an intense protest that led to classes being shut down for a day as student demonstrators accused the school of institutional racism — “was not a genuine threat,” the school’s president said Wednesday.
President David Anderson said in an email to students that an investigation into the note identified a person of interest “who confessed to writing the note.”
“We’ve confirmed that this was not a genuine threat. We’re confident that there is no ongoing threat from this incident to individuals or the community as a whole,” he said.
Someone spray-painted the words “KKK,” “White rule KKK” and other hateful messages on a construction site for the church as well as on some nearby cars.
“The people that we serve are very generous,” said David Gomez, pastor of New Life Fellowship Church. “They are very committed. They love God.”
New church building, possibly wanting to get parishioners, all of the ‘hate’ graffiti is conveniently on areas that won’t cost the church any money because they will be covered by sheetrock.
I’m not saying what happened in Galveston is a hoax, but it has all the markers of one.

Hussain, 56, faces a felony charge of obstruction of justice and a misdemeanor charge of harassment. He was booked into Vigo County Jail at 4:51 p.m. today and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Vigo County Superior Court 6. Bond has been set at $10,000 cash.
The university in a news release said Hussain, an assistant professor of aviation technology, has been suspended from teaching duties.
The charges stem from a series of emails that were received on campus containing anti-Muslim messages and threats of potential violence against members of the Muslim community, according to the university.
