Looks like I'm not the only /pol/lack here: http://www.thetigernews.com/news/yik-yak-arrest-made-on-campus-member-of-student-patrol/article_2ac27ea6-0786-11e6-94ca-cb26ff39e32f.html
>Clemson University police arrested Jamie Reece Moore, 21, of Rock Hill on Wednesday and charged him with unlawful use of a telephone. Moore posted three “intimidating and harassing comments” on the anonymous social media app Yik Yak, according to an email sent out by Inside Clemson early Wednesday afternoon. The comments were related to the on-going sit-in at Sikes Hall by members of the Clemson community.
>According to a warrant obtained by Greenville Online reporter Nathaniel Cary, Moore posted “What time is the lynch mob tomorrow? I got [sic] a couple hundred feet of rope” at 10:09 p.m. on April 17. Later, at 11:04 p.m. he posted “Let’s do to the Clemson protestors what Ohio did to the Kent State student protestors 40 years ago,” and then at 11:07 p.m., “Drive by at Sikes??” According to the warrant, Moore told an officer interviewing him that he made the comments to make people mad and to give them something to talk about. Concerned individuals sent screenshots of the posts in question to the police on April 18, and he was arrested on April 20.
>Last year, Clemson briefly considered banning Yik Yak outright from its wireless network after students posted things that could be considered racially insensitive and potentially inflammatory.
For those unaware, there have been protests at Sikes (an administrative building on campus) over racial issues, sparked by a set of bananas hung on a banner for black history. 5 protesters stayed in after lockdown and got trespass citations, though noting will come of it most likely.
