Six "tech savvy" juveniles have been identified as persons of interest by the FBI in threats to historically Black colleges and universities that appear to be racially motivated.

More than a dozen historically Black colleges and universities received bomb threats on Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.

A law enforcement official says the FBI has identified six persons of interest around the country, all juveniles, who are suspected of making the threats. The official says they appear to be “tech savvy,” using sophisticated methods to try to disguise the source of the threats, which appear to have a racist motivation.

Howard University was among the first to issue a shelter-in-place order early Tuesday — just a day after the school and several other historically Black colleges and universities received similar threats.

A bomb threat against the university is being investigated,” an alert from Howard University said, according to NBC Washington. "All persons on campus are advised to shelter in place until more information is available.”

The emergency alert was timestamped at 3:29 a.m. Tuesday, the first day of Black History Month.

An all-clear was later issued for Howard following a probe.

2. If those kids are found guilty,

they should be tried as adults. This isn't the sort of thing that should we wiped from their records when they come of age.

I wonder if this is partially a Rittenhouse effect.

4. They better pay an adult price

And their parents can't play the 'he/she didn't learn it at home" card. These 'juveniles' are a product of poor home training.

Do I want them tortured and held at Gitmo? HELL NO! I've never forgotten what we did to those 'juveniles'.


These 'juvenile' domestic terrorists are still domestic terrorists (regardless of race, religion, creed) and need to be treated as such.
