Cobb County School District Police said no charges will be filed against a North Cobb High School student whose apparently racist rant made the rounds on social media. The student’s post says he wished he could have “personally assassinated President Abraham Lincoln for freeing African-Americans from slavery.” The message was posted on Snapchat, leaving students at the school on edge.Cobb County District Attorney’s Office consulted with campus police as well as Cobb County and Acworth police and determined there wasn’t enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt a crime was committed.
