How about it was a reported hate crime until the investigators uncovered it was a BS story. It was a fake. Then it becomes an “accident” and therefore not a story.
If someone looked into this a little more, they would find another lib trying to generate a fake “hate” crime.
Whenever I hear the phrase “hate crime” I think of a moment on the Simpsons when Homer goes to a rock concert and wears some kind of multi-colored, reggae-color-styled hat. Someone points to it and starts to chant “HATE CRIME! HATE CRIME!”
Bet on it. It is likely that the "clumsy staffer" got caught setting up the "hate crime."
