Black hoaxer goes to jail
A Kean University graduate was sentenced to 90 days in jail, followed by five years probation and an agreement to repay more than $80,000 in damages caused by her fake tweets threatening to kill black students.
Kayla McKelvey, an African-American activist who claims she sent the fake tweets to "shine a light on an issue that is important to me," received the sentence after admitting she left a campus protest last November to create the fake Twitter account and send the messages. She then returned to the protest and told everyone about the alleged threats.
She pleaded guilty to a charge of creating a false public alarm, and will have to repay $82,328 to law enforcement for the investigation of the tweets, which caused a panic on campus. More than half of Kean students missed two or three days of classes due to fears that they would be targeted for violence.

Good! It's nice to see actual justice meted out to one of these hoaxers. This is what should happen when someone lies to get the government to harm someone who's actually innocent.
Hooray. PC didn't control the day. There should be more punitive results for damaging the black/white relationship on the basis of what could have been. It might deter the idiots on uni campuses from making false racial incidents. Same should be applied to false rape claims which seem to make big headlines nationally but fail to follow up when the claims are proven false.
Justice and been done all those who do these fake hate crime reports need to face the same punishment
What about prosecutors who lie to get a conviction?
How about a piece of reality and giving her the same punishment that would have been given to someone who had actually been convicted for doing the crime. I believe they would have received more than 90 days in jail.
The Duke LaCrosse case comes to mind
