Kan. man admits threatening black man to get out of 'white town'

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department announced Thursday that Colton Donner, 27, pleaded guilty in federal court to threatening an African American man with a knife because of the man’s race, and in order to intimidate and interfere with the man’s right to fair housing, according to the United State's Attorney.

According to documents filed in connection with the plea, on Sept. 11, 2019, Donner was driving through a residential area of Paola, Kansas, when he saw the victim, an African American man, walking on the sidewalk.

Donner stopped, got out of the car, and approached the victim while brandishing a knife. Donner threatened the victim, yelled racial slurs, and told the victim that Paola is a “white town.”

Donner faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the civil rights offense.

I'd be surprised if he had $250 to his name. The wealthy are much more subtle with their racism.
