Authorities are investigating whether the stabbing death of a black college student who was visiting the University of Maryland during graduation weekend was a hate crime.
The chief of the university police said Sunday the suspect, a white University of Maryland student, is a member of a racist Facebook group. An FBI official said the federal agency will assist with the investigation.
The victim, identified by police Sunday as Richard Collins III, was due to graduate from Bowie State University this week. The Calvert County man had completed ROTC in college and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army on Thursday, according to school officials and a family spokesman. He was 23.

Dude's going to prison.

(19,201 posts)acceptable in Trump Amerika. Trump emboldened these racist turds, and has done absolutely nothing since his campaign to make them feel any less emboldened. This is his base. God, I hate these people. Anyone who thinks they're superior to another human being because of their skin color doesn't deserve their next breath of air. They should bring back public hangings in the town square for these sub-human scumbos.

Our military needs all the promising young men and women it can get, our society does not need another piece of trash racist killer.
