21-year-old engineering student Jabari Dean is allowed to return to class after threatening to execute 16 white male students and staff at the University of Chicago.
Authorities said Jabari Dean was responsible for a mass shooting threat that forced the school to cancel its classes on Monday.

The threat was posted on worldstarhiphop.com. It said, “This is my only warning. At 10 a.m. on Monday mourning (sic) I am going to the campus quad of the University of Chicago. I will be armed with a M-4 Carbine and 2 Desert Eagles all fully loaded. I will execute aproximately (sic) 16 white male students and or staff, which is the same number of time (sic) Mcdonald (sic) was killed. I then will die killing any number of white policemen that I can in the process. This is not a joke. I am to do my part to rid the world of the white devils. I expect you to do the same….”
The threat was made after after city officials released a video of white Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting black teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times.
According to Fox, a federal judge agreed to put Dean under house arrest in the custody of his mother. He is allowed to attend classes, but must stay off the internet.

The Sun-Times reports that no weapons were found in Dean's off-campus apartment. He does, however, face a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
Dean's uncle, Phillip Rutherford, called the threat “just fun and games”.

Whether or not he would come through with this threat is irrelevant. If children in elementary class or kindergarten are expelled for making gun gestures with their fingers, or pretend bows and arrows, how is this a “just behave and we will let you out”? As people pointed out, what if he was White making identical threats against Black officers and Blacks in general? What ever happened to one law for all?
That the investigators did not find weapons is irrelevant. It is only an assumption that the weapons would be at his place of residence. He could have a co-conspirator we know nothing about, or he just has weapons stored somewhere else. He was pretty specific in his weaponry.
What can I say? This is just so screwed up.
Meanwhile, in San Bernardino, California, 14 dead and 14 wounded in an attack by three gunmen at a regional centre. Will the suspects be released on their recognisance?
In Canada “uttering death threats” to police (or anyone) is a criminal code offence that carries up to 10 yrs on conviction. It should be taken very seriously because of the racist nature of the offence.
Even though no one in his right mind excuses the shooting of the teenager 16 times and all agree that it has taken too long to bring it to public’s attention, there’s no need for the BLM to use extreme methods to exhibit their outrage, Everyone’s outraged regardless of race, colour or creed! I think the judge should have had the student Jerabi Dean examined for mental stability and definitely not put the rest of the students under duress by having him back in the classroom!
The threat was well beyond inappropriate, and probably he should face some sanction, even if it was meant as a joke.
It’s a war zone in south Chicago – guess it is spreading to affluent neighborhoods.
