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.
Take a look at the link below. One of the fake hate crimes listed has a lot of irony attached to it. It occurred at Duke, later the site of false charges against the three white LaCrosse players. And it involved “lynching”. A black student group announced plans to hold a meeting under a particular tree, and then hung a black baby doll from that tree with a noose. I wonder if there was universal outrage over this, as there was with the nooses hung by the white punks in Jena? And were the black students suspended or expelled? Ha!

Je$$e told him to.
Expected this; I really did.
It is a sad fact that human beings cry out for help in the strangest ways.
What tears me apart is the hyper media coverage of these events before an investigation is even started that strains race relations even further.
For every 10 people that read about the cross burning, maybe 3 will read about the truth and at least 1 of them will not believe he did it anyway.

and what if some poor kid walking through the neighborhood had been fingered by this guy as the perpetrator.....20 years just like that for a phony “hate crime”.
What a moron.

This is Minnesota; right? Not surprised.
Oops! My bad. I forgot.
I think that sentence is right in the Hate Crime Amendment itself that Bawney Fwank co-sponsored.....
