So it appears we had a "social media is the worst" night on campus last night. Anonymous threats on Yik Yak (which appears to have all of the internet's worst qualities and none of its best), threats to both black students and white veterans, and a hateful speaker at Speakers Circle, caused a super tense environment ... one that was then stoked by random reported "sightings" of threatening individuals ... large trucks with no plates ... the KKK in Greektown. Things spread like a game of Telephone (and MSA president Payton Head even got into the act of passing things along without double confirmation), and the false reports got out of control.
Mizzou and Gary Pinkel are attempting to move forward ... and finding that difficult to do
