*A Missouri man pleaded guilty Monday to making a terrorist threat on social media against black University of Missouri students after the school’s president stepped down in the wake of racial abuse on campus.

According to Reuters, Hunter Park, 20, is scheduled to be sentenced on June 16. Boone County, Mo., Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Brouck Jacobs is recommending three years in prison for Park, who remains free on bond until his sentencing.

“The facts of the case merit prison and not probation,” Jacobs said.

In November, Mizzou football players refused to practice or play until Tim Wolfe, the president, resigned over a number of racial incidents. Wolfe resigned, and Park was arrested two days later after threatening on social media to “shoot every black person” he sees.

“Some of you are alright. Don’t go to campus tomorrow,” one post by Park read. “We’re waiting for you at the parking lots,” another said. “We will kill you.”
