'White America' ....did not firebomb Charlotte-Mecklenburg immigrant's store
2017-04-13
[American Mirror] A hate crime allegedly perpetrated by "white America" turned out to be hoax perpetuated by a black criminal with an ax to grind against President Trump.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police arrested 32-year-old Curtis Flournoy on Sunday for firebombing the immigrant-operated Central Market in east Charlotte in what they’re characterizing as a pre-planned hate crime, according to The Charlotte Observer.

Investigators allege Flournoy threw a rock through the store’s window last Thursday, followed by a flaming object that started a blaze at the store owned by Indian immigrants.

#5  What is the batting average of hoax hate crimes vs real hate crimes?

Judging from Instapundit it's not clear there are any real hate crimes these days.

#4  The details of the crime released last week were just a bit TOO perfect to be true.

#2  Wouldn't an anti-white hate crime also be a hate crime?
