Forty-four-year-old Vincent Broughton of Colorado Springs, Colo., is facing charges of bias-motivated crime, harassment, littering and disorderly conduct.

Vincent Broughton, who is black, faces charges of committing a bias-motivated crime, disorderly conduct, harassment and littering, the news site notes.

The signs were first put up outside New Covenant Church of God in Christ, and referenced the Ku Klux Klan. On Monday, three signs were found outside the Relevant Word Christian Cultural Center. Broughton didn’t seem to be attempting to hide his association with the signs, however, as one of the signs he posted listed his phone number.

"I did it. Probably about 100 or so, I'd come downtown every day and put up the posters," he told the news station. "I want people to know how corrupt these people that run the town are, the police department, City Council and people in the community."

Messages on the signs include "Black Men Be Aware. You Are the Target," "This Church Works for the KKK” and "This Church Identified as Devil's [sic] for the KKK, the Police…"

Sounds like enough charges to get him a $400 fine or so, but at least he admits it.

Thats a new one on me, I'll bet thats made up. Falls short of "hate crime", media can't bring themselves to admit their own hypocrisy.

Do liberal elites have classes where they teach these losers how to fake hate crimes?

I’m sure there’s some link to the “Party Crashers” that came to the Tea Party rallies with “racist”signs. (Ovomit as a witch doctor with a bone through his nose).

They cant bring themselves to say this black was charged with a hate crime.

Yes many. Many still will refuse to put the pieces together.

The hatred the left believes we are so filled with is so non-existent the left has to resort to putting this fake crap up and trying to in it on their enemies they hate.

The level of hatred reminds me of the brainwashed hatred communists had of the usa before we went socialist.

The charges are thin at best. Disorderly conduct and littering. Most likely these charges will have to be dropped because as disgusting as it is, it likely falls under free speech.

Junk law. Akin to junk science or junk psychology.
