A former NFL player is facing criminal charges after he allegedly destroyed his business near Atlanta to make it look like a hate crime burglary, police said.


quote:

Authorities confronted Coughman, the owner of the business, after they saw him driving the described vehicle nearby, police said. They noticed "several televisions in the bed of the truck and inside the cab," some of which were "still attached to the brackets with damaged drywall," police said






Bold strategy here.
quote:

Coughman told police he had noticed the damage earlier in the day and called his insurance company to report the damages but did not call 911, the statement said.

After he was arrested, police found a yellow crow bar and cans of black spray paint in his vehicle.

Hopefully he hired two Nigerians so he can get off Scott free and demand an apology from YT.

It may be fake, but we still need to have the conversation, y'all

It’s 2019 and people still think there’s a national secret society of racists with a database of black folks and all they want to do is write racist graffiti on their walls and act like it’s the 1960’s

Hopefully this case doesn't get the Smollett treatment.

I'm at the point where I just assume incidents like this are made up unless proven otherwise. Meanwhile we have actual hate crimes happening like those beatings in Minneapolis.

Falsifying “hate crimes” should be a mandatory 10 year prison sentence.

Think of just how much hate has to be in a persons heart for them to create a lie like that attacking an entire group of people just because of their skin color.

Anyone caught faking a hate crime deserves to be charged with a hate crime. Change my mind.

Conversation about what Exactly? The fact the Elitist (liberal dems) have taken over the media and become the brownshirts of the current age? Now the narrative is we have rampant racism and a huge bunch of “white supremist” running around doing bad things? Where are they all at? Oh yeah, that’s the part of the narrative that’s just coming out now- it’s all conservative white men, especially those who claim Christianity of any degree.

stop overreacting. A fine and community service is much more reasonable. Let's save long sentences for violent offenses. Not a crime to have hate in a person's heart. Sin, yes, but not a crime.

Self hate is the worst hate. Poor guy hates his own race apparently.

"Smolletts his business"


This phenomena is something that needs much more focused attention... the apparent disregard for any type of real concern for one's cultural agenda to be taken seriously.. ..and so readily manufactured at times of selfish purpose... then taking in consideration in a recent data base of 346 reported hate crimes, a percentage of over 2 out of every 3 were found to be false... Your average "Smollett" doesn't seem to be just one of "a few bad apples", spoiling the legitimacy of a real social and human rights injustice... I don't know what this needs to be identified as but the "norm" needs to be made known and openly exposed for what it is.

Because any way you look at it, it sure makes many repeated claims of victimization and discrimination hard to take seriously even for the most open-minded... ..and those who do their best to be responsible, fair thinking citizens.

Is there a link to a database detailing these hoaxes? Surely someone has started tracking them.
