South Carolina student seen threatening to shoot black people in racist video expelled from private Catholic school
SOUTH CAROLINA: A South Carolina student,16, was arrested and then expelled from the private Catholic school he attended over videos in which he is heard saying "I hate black men" and shooting a box of Air Jordans.
As per reports, officials of Cardinal Newman School in Columbia handed over footage to authorities that were circulating online in which the student, who identifies himself in the videos Parker Mustian, is seen threatening and hating on black people.
Since authorities have not identified the student, it's not clear if that is his real name.
In the shocking footage, the student claims that he is a "hater of all black men". He then shoots a shoebox which he said represented black people.
In the first clip, the student can be heard saying, "I hate black people. They’re the worst. They’re stinky and they just suck. They’re just bad people." The student then shoots a box of Air Jordans which he says is the "favorite pair of shoes for a black man."
He added that he wanted to show everyone what he thought of a black man before saying, "F–k all n—-rs."
In the second video clip, he continues to shoot into the shoebox and while referring to the box says that "our n-----" has not learned a lesson and deserved 25 rounds "to the dome".
The footage had been filmed in May but began circulating last month at the school.
As reported by the State, the video was handed by school officials on July 15 to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.
Mustian is the grandson of political strategist Richard Quinn who was arrested post a corruption probe, FITS News reported.
A source close to Mustian shared that he had filmed the video for shock value. "The idea was to see who could be the most outlandishly, ridiculously offensive. They weren’t being serious," the source shared.
Upon investigating further, deputies found more footage and texts. One of these also included Mustian threating to “shoot up the school”. He has been charged with making student threats. The authorities have not released his name given his young age.
The school officials also did not identify him when they notified parents of the arrest.
