Kevin Sumlin to press charges against person who sent racist mail

Texas A&M football coach Kevin Sumlin and his family are gearing up to press charges against the person who sent a racist letter to their home.

Sumlin's wife, Charlene, posted a tweet Sunday saying once police complete their investigation into who sent a racist letter to the coach, they are ready to press charges once the person is identified.

"They asked us if we wanted to press charges and I couldn't answer 'YES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW' fast enough. I want to make an example of this person. I want everyone to understand that I will do anything and everything to PROTECT MY FAMILY. Period," Charlene tweeted. "I literally cannot wait to look this person eye to eye. There is a real unique kind of cowardice in someone to anonymously criticize, ridicule or threaten another person. If I have the opportunity to expose even ONE TROLL. I am going to do it."




Charlene also thanked everyone who reached out to the family in support in the post.

The threatening letter sent to Sumlin called for him to be fired and included racial slurs.

"You suck as a coach! You're a n----- and can't win! Please get lost! Or else," the letter read.

as the old saying goes - nip it in the bud!
And as the right wingers always tell us - you do the crime, you do the time.
