ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) — A former New Jersey college student charged with making fake threats against fellow black students asked for probation on Thursday.

NJ.com (http://bit.ly/1QvDSXO) reports an attorney for Kayla-Simone McKelvey, of Union Township, asked a judge to admit her into a pretrial intervention program that would allow her to avoid jail time.

McKelvey is charged with creating a false public alarm, which carries a maximum prison term of five years. If she's admitted into the program and completes it, the charge could eventually be expunged from her record.

At a December hearing in which she pleaded not guilty, attorney Thomas Ashley said McKelvey was "quite remorseful" about the incident.

Prosecutors contend the 24-year-old McKelvey, who is black, participated in a Nov. 17 rally on racial issues at Kean University and then went to a campus library computer and tweeted anonymous threats against black students.

They say she returned to the rally and tried to raise awareness about the threats.

The rally came in the wake of racial protests at the University of Missouri and other college campuses.

Security was increased at the New Jersey college after the threats were discovered, though classes weren't affected. But the threats did lead a group of black ministers to call for Kean President Dawood Farahi to resign the following day, saying that the threats showed that he hadn't done enough to address alleged racial tension on campus.

The school responded that the claims of racial tension were baseless.

A man is walking from the gas station to his out-of-gas car, he is carrying a can of gas. As he is walking, he is attacked by a rabid pit bull. The dog viciously bites him over and over creating horrible wounds. In the course of the attach, the dog also bites the gas can and ends up swallowing a good amount of gas. The rabid dog finally kills the man and runs off, Some time later, animal control finds the body of the dog, killed by the ingestion of the gasoline.

Headline should've been: Black Woman Accused of Making Threats to Black Students Seeks Probation. Believe me, the lack of a mention of her race in the headline is NO accident. It is disgusting and horribly damaging how biased the mainstream press has become. You have to go more than halfway through the article to discover this was a black woman. There is NO chance that had it been a white person making threats, their race would've been in the first paragraph of the story and in the headline. There is racism in America today from every angle, but unless the mainstream media commits itself to reporting with honest journalistic integrity, there is no chance that these problems can be solved. Right now, America, and unfortunately our most impressionable youth are being told an abject lie over and over again that only white people are racist. Second, the reality does of racism whites experience on a daily basis has to come with an honest and open discussion of what the history of racism has done to the black community. We have to be honest BOTH ways.

Is this where us whites march up & down the streets chanting "No Justice. No Peace"?

Should we demand that McKelvey is imprisoned for being racist? And threaten the justice system until she gets the punishment we have deemed appropriate? Maybe we should just burn down all local businesses near the college that have absolutely nothing to do with this? And let's not forget that those black minsters should be forced to resign for not doing enough to address racial tension on campus.

Sounds like she was a Race-Hater-Baiter..  Was her mind thought one of trying to make it look like some conservative sent the Hate Message to her friends?

Fake hate crimes by racist liberals need to stop. It seems there are more of those than real hate crimes. Those that only fuel the flames.

McKelvey needs to be an example of what happens to liberal racist haters who try to pin fake hate crimes on conservatives. She had already done the damage when the ministers called for Kean President Dawood Farahi to resign the following day, saying that the threats showed that he hadn't done enough to address alleged racial tension on campus.  

McKelvey was an instigator of Hate... She should do time and think about what she almost caused, for no reason.. But for her own selfishness greed for power or anarchy.
