Man with Cross Burned into Lawn, now Charged with Doing It
WKARE/Minneapolis ^ | September 28, 2007 | n/a

Posted on 09/28/2007 6:29:00 PM PDT by zaxxon

Wednesday night, KARE 11 told you about an Anoka man who called police saying someone had burned a cross into his lawn.

Police arrived to find a 10' by 6' cross burned into the lawn of a African American homeowner De'Andre June, who lives on the 3900 block of 10th Lane North.

On Friday De'Andre June was charged with burning the cross himself.

According to the criminal complaint, June has been charged with falsely reporting a crime, disorderly conduct and obstructing the legal process.

Anoka Police Capt. Phil Johanson told KARE 11 that he has sent misdemeanor charges to the Anoka City attorney for consideration.

Johanson said authorities were tipped off by inmates in the Anoka County jail who saw the story on television and told guards that June, who had recently been an inmate, said he was going to do something like this to get some community sympathy.

June was arrested Thursday.

Not just falsely reporting a crime, but a hate crime. One which would have resulted in harsher penalties for a conviction. Give him the same penalty as if someone were found guilty of property damage, trespassing, arson, and racial intimidation under all applicable jurisdictions state and federal.

Disorderly conduct following a false hate crime? Tell us more.... as in,

“It’s all ‘cause I’m black, isn’t it! You’re arresting me ‘cause I’m black! That’s it, yeah! Because I’m black!”

Wow, I bet this FALSE REPORT of a hate crime will be all over the news...oh, wait, some 1960s era Navy building is in the shape of a swastika? Never mind, let’s go with that!

This reminds me of the gay who scratched ‘gay’ on his forehead and claimed he was attacked.

Only problem was that it spelled gay, but only in the mirror.

Well, it doesn’t matter if he did it himself. Just that there was a cross burning means racism is rampant! The klan is on the march and terrorizing people all over the country. Even if this guy did it himself, it’s because he was made to do so by the pervasive climate of fear from white society!

I love sarcasm....

On that subject (a swastika visible only from the air), where is the forest in Germany where the Nazis planted trees of species different from the surrounding trees in a swastika pattern, so that in the fall season their leaves would turn first, resulting in a golden swastika surrounded by a sea of green?

Beloved by Luftwaffe crews.

Gee, there just aren’t enough gay-hating, racist, antisemitic whites around today!
They gotta create their own hate crimes.
