He might have been expelled from a Catholic high school, but I know an Episcopal church logo t-shirt when I see one.

I am sure there are some horrified Episcopalians wondering what the hell happened right about now.

‘I hate black people’: Student expelled, arrested over racist video

By Jackie Salo August 5, 2019 | 4:51pm

A South Carolina student has been arrested and expelled from a private Catholic school after disturbing videos circulated online of him threatening black people, according to reports. ... In the footage, the student — who identifies himself as Parker Mustian — boasts that he’s a “hater of all black men” then shoots a shoebox that he said represented black people.

“I hate black people,” he said in the first clip. “They’re the worst. They’re stinky and they just suck. They’re just bad people.” ... He then shoots a box of Air Jordans, which he refers to as the “favorite pair of shoes for a black man.”
....

The disturbing footage was filmed in May but started circulating last month at Cardinal Newman School in Columbia. The videos were turned over by school officials on July 15 to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department, The State reported.

Mustian is the grandson of Richard Quinn, a political strategist who was arrested earlier this year in a corruption probe, FITS News reported. Quinn faces charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. ... A source close to Mustian claimed that he filmed the video for the “shock value,” the news outlet reported.

2. Grandson of GOP kingmaker Richard Quinn. Father is Benjamin Mustian, a well-known Columbia lawyer

Mustian’s maternal grandfather is Richard Quinn, 74, founder and president of Richard Quinn and Associates, a political consulting firm. Quinn is now facing decades in prison as part of a years-long corruption investigation of GOP state lawmakers.

Quinn was arrested in April after being indicted on nearly a dozen charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

4. His Father is Benjamin P. Mustian, a Well-Known Attorney Who Has Deleted His LinkedIn & His Name Has Been Scrubbed by a Law Firm

As an attorney at Willoughby Hoefer, his name has been removed as has his bio. An “Oops, This page could not be found” message pops up.

But a search of records finds he is a board member of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce, was the House Judiciary Committee Chief Counsel for the South Carolina House of Representatives from 2000 to 2003, earned a bachelor’s degree from Wake Forest and a law degree from the University of South Carolina.

“Cardinal Newman – which is under fire for its handling of the matter – is hosting a town hall meeting on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 7:00 p.m.”

It’s five miles from me...I’ll be there. Updates coming.

6. Yep, gotta wear the cross

5. The racist vocabulary is actually pretty unimpressive.

He's 16. Could be terminally inarticulate or new to hate speech? Or maybe the high points are in the parts withheld.

Hopefully this'll trigger some positive big changes in his life as well. He obviously needs intervention.

7. I was unimpressed by his marksmanship

Three shots to dispatch a stationary shoe box? Pathetic.

9. Lol. True, though one shot would be pathetic also.

At least it's likely the authorities assisted his parents by taking it away permanently.
