It was just a robbery

[diggs223]

So it turns out a black guy gets arrested for starting the fire at a black church and painting vote trump a week before the election. Which by the way was investigated as a hate crime, turns out it was just a robbery and nothing was stolen.

Twisted news.

Burning the church may not be a hate crime, but as soon as he wrote "Vote Trump" it became a hate ctime.

I also heard it was not politically motivated on the news. I guess hate crimes can't be committed against white or Christians.

No such thing as a hate crime or racism against evil whitey. That's a one way street.

This right here says it all:

"But, classifying this as a hate crime of a 'historically black church in a black community' before the investigation even got going good was basically profiling the suspect as a white person, whether he directly said it or not."

But, it can't possibly be "profiling" because it wan't a black person who was being vilified!!
