A Zebulon man is being charged with "hate crimes" for detaining two Hispanic passengers reportedly attempting to flee after t-boning his truck

Surveillance video shows the (also Hispanic) driver of the vehicle running off after tearing through the grass to crash into the vehicle driven by Austin Thomas Herber, leaving one of his passengers unconscious and covered in blood

Herber is accused by the police of threatening the passengers of the offending vehicle with a gun and kicking them in the heads

However, eyewitnesses such as an owner of the restaurant Herber was pulling out of said she didn't observe a gun or "ethnic intimidation," only Herber putting his hand on the shoulder of the Hispanics and telling them to get on the ground and not leave, as they were trying to do


ETA: Police charged the reckless, probably drunk, driver with misdemeanors.

In liberal America, you’re supposed to let the illegals ram you, drunkenly, and let them go on the merry way because your white guilt cause the accident in the first place.

Attempting to flee the scene of a car accident can be classified as a felony, especially if the accident results in injuries or death. Penalties for such offenses vary by state but can include significant fines and imprisonment.

No such thing as a hate crime.

No, in MOST of America, you are not supposed to threaten deadly force (handgun) in response to a property crime, because we live in a civilized society and not the damned Wild West.

Austin Herber, the driver of the white truck that was hit, is facing several charges including assault, kidnapping, ethnic intimidation, and the intention to terrorize others with a gun. LINK


In NC, limitations on the use of deadly force include not being the initial aggressor and not using deadly force to protect property. See North Carolina General Statutes §14-51.3 and §14-51.2

FTR, I agree that the “hate crime” enhancement is complete BS.

It was 17 days ago. Safe to assume that he was released on bond some time ago.

I'm sure the stats prove that it's working wonderfully, but has criminalizing 'hate' helped society one damn bit?

You just can't help yourself. You and SFP suffer from the same affliction.

Yep

And someone ELSE clearly said he did so, or there would be no charges. Resolving that conflict is why we have juries.
