Authorities Close Investigation Into Wisconsin Hate Crime, Say No Evidence It Occured
FreeBeacon ^ | 10/2/20 | Brent Scher

Authorities closed an investigation into an alleged Wisconsin hate crime on June 24, saying they failed to find any evidence that 18-year-old Althea Bernstein was the victim of a racist arson attack, as she claimed.

Bernstein made national headlines on June 24 alleging that four white men in Madison lit her on fire, leaving her with burns on her neck and face. The men, she said, had directed a racial slur at her before throwing lighter fluid on her face. The incident was covered by national outlets from CNN to NBC News.

She needs to be jailed for the max time her fictious assailants could have received.

Only way to end this lying without consequences for the felony criminal liars.

“The incident was covered by national outlets from CNN to NBC News.“

So will the fact that it was BS be covered too?

She was not even in that city when she said it happened.

Caught red handed telling lies.

Hey CNN are you going to correct your lies?

I think the Safe and Arming device on her molotov cocktail malfunctioned during a BLM riot and she needed to cook up a story.

But a new investigation is beginning, right?

Because what she did is a crime.

And what if a black person killed a white person in retaliation (or these days a white college grad punk killed a white person in retaliation)?

Then what?

It’s a hypothetical but the msm stirrnig the pot during the riots wasn’t a hypothetical.

They got real people really dead.

Most ‘hate crimes’ are fake.

A political scientist found that fewer than 1 in 3 of 346 such allegations was genuine.

Did they investigate this “attack” as an anti-Semitic act?

We curious Hebs want to know.
