Yet Another Hate Crime Turns Out To Be A Hoax
Daily Caller ^ | 5/4/2017

A church organist was arrested Wednesday after he vandalized his own church with a swastika and pro-Trump graffiti in order to “mobilize a movement.” Do You Think There Is An Epidemic Of Hate Crime Hoaxes In America?

George Nathaniel Stang, 26, admitted in a handwritten statement to spray painting a swastika, “fag church,” and “heil Trump” on St. David’s Episcopal Church in Bean Blossom, Indiana. “I suppose I wanted to give local people a reason to fight for good, even if it was a false flag,” Stang wrote, according to a local NBC report. “To be clear my actions were not motivated by hate for the church or its congregation. I of course realize now, this was NOT the way to go about inspiring activism.”

The incident occurred in November shortly after President Trump was elected and was widely covered by the press. The Washington Post reported on it and connected it to Trump’s victory, “The offensive graffiti at St. David’s is among numerous incidents that have occurred in the wake of Trump’s Election Day win.”

They also mentioned the vandalism in a piece entitled, “The postelection hate spike: How long will it last?” It was mentioned in 15 articles by The Post, yet, as of publication time, they have yet to write about Stang’s arrest.

The vandalism was also covered by CNN in the story “‘Make America White Again’: Hate speech and crimes post-election.” Just like the Post, CNN has yet to write an updated story. (RELATED: Guy Named Jasskirat Saini Arrested For Writing ‘KKK’ On College Campus)

In the wake of Trump’s election there has been a surge in reported hate crimes, however, they frequently end up being hoaxes. The Daily Caller News Foundation reported on five hoaxes in the weeks after the November election, including a Muslim woman who lied about her hijab being stolen by Trump supporters. Just two weeks ago, a Muslim professor at an Indiana university was arrested after he fabricated anti-Muslim crimes.

A good percentage of liberals are mentally ill. A normal sane person would not do this.

Well, I suppose he wanted to organize a group, but someone should have put a stop to it and told him to pipe down.

I think it will have to be a do it yourself, labor of love project.

We all know that SPLC is egregiously fake, so forget them.

The FBI has numbers on “incidents of bias” or somesuch, and http://www.fakehatecrimes.org keeps track of things like this event, but I know there are a few here on FR that they haven’t included for whatever reason.

The big problem is that the FBI numbers are exactly that — just numbers. An “incident of bias” or whatever they call it there might be legit, it might be fake, or it might be an employer refusing to bend over and take it when a Muslim demands that the employer install a separate prayer room in the employer’s 300 SF gas station.

Wouldn't it be sweet if the only "room" available were a restroom with the toilet on the east wall?

This crap probably been going on forever but A Sharpton/Tawana Brawley revived it in our times.

With the end result falling away from being a hoax and raising Sharpton’s image because they used the old ‘Well, it could have happened so we may as well treat it like it did’....

If Sharpton & Co would have done 10 years for the crime it may have somewhat nipped it in the bud.

AS should have gotten life just to appease the lives he ruined by perpetrating this crime

= = = = = = = = = = = = =

I kind of figured that from the git-go but that particular act took some time, imagination and WORK to pull off.

Plus patience and cost more than a couple cans of spray paint.

I guess what really surprises me is in this day of ‘hidden’ cameras, cell phones etc that there are no pictures available especially in THAT area of DC

Lets face it, mainstream media. Most of these type “crimes” are hoaxes. When will the media not reward these attention seekers?
