A former NFL player is facing criminal charges after he allegedly destroyed his business near Atlanta to make it look like a hate crime burglary, police said.

Edawn Louis Coughman, 31, was arrested Thursday and charged with false report of a crime, insurance fraud and concealing a license plate, police said in a statement.

Unfortunately this is not a surprise.

Many of the so-called hate crimes are fake.

Who was the black actor, who claimed he was attacked, that it was a racist attack, and it turned out he paid people to make a phony attack on him, to get publicity and sympathy?

I wonder what’s wrong with the old-fashioned way of simply burning down your own business to collect the insurance?

Most of these events turn out to be hoaxes.
There is a dearth of racist activity so they have to make it up to support the narrative.

My guess is the business wasn’t doing very well.
He doesn’t seem at that bright.

“A former NFL player”

Signed with nine different teams but looks like zero plays.

Pretty much

What a racist ass. And of course he had to spray paint the “new nazi word” MAGA to make it even less believable. Along with insurance fraud, he should be charged with a hate crime...

The cop giving the brief made the usual claim that “these incidents only hurt the real victims”. That’s absolute BS. The real damage is the perpetuation of (anti-white) hate and racism, and the race baiting industry. Even now the race hustlers will claim that it doesn’t matter that this crime was fake, because the racism is real. It’s real, but their fingers are pointing the wrong way.

He doesn’t seem at that bright.


The TVs ripped from the walls were found in his pickup truck. Also found were cans of spray paint that just happened to match the still-wet graffiti paint in his store. On the other hand, he will get some points for highlighting the racist nature of American society during the Trump Presidency, so he has that going for him.

He doesn’t seem all that bright was how that was supposed to come out.
This was as ham-fisted as it gets.

Very interesting story. I told it to a friend years ago but I couldn’t remember the name of the band. He knew it right off.

Obviously the result of multiple concussions. Next step, sue the NFL.
