Certainly smells like Barbara Streisand…
Just wondering aloud how the balance sheets look on this store. Taxes owed, creditors, leveraged mortgage, if the owners started a “GoFundMe” account yet.
You know how virtually 99% of all the “hate crimes” turn out to be hoaxes by the so-called “victims” themselves, this has that same kinda ring to it. Crime ring, that is.
Hate crime hoax media cycle:
“Hate crime” occurs -> local to national media attention.
Serious criminal sanctions promised for offenders by local politicians on the bandwagon - and looking for votes.
Commentaries and op ed pieces stating (fill in Republican politician) is to blame for creating a climate of hate.
Investigation proves perp is the minority reporting the crime or another minority group member who did it to ‘raise awareness.’
Story becomes local news only. (Any story where the victim is white = LNO.)
Prosecutors back away and give perp a slap on the wrist.
Rinse and repeat.
50/50 this - or any other ‘hate crime’ - is either by the victim or another minority member.
If this were a college campus, I’d up those odds to 90%.
