MADISON, Wis. (AP) — There’s not enough evidence to prove that a group of white men set a young biracial woman on fire during a chaotic night of protests in Wisconsin’s capital city this summer, federal prosecutors said Friday.

Detectives were unable to find any surveillance video that shows the alleged attack taking place, but they did find footage indicating the woman wasn’t in the city at the time she says she was attacked, according to investigative reports.

I’m sure there’s something within 10 miles of her that resembles a “noose”.

And that’s proof enough. Arrest three random white men and declare “Justice”!

So that would mean that it DID NOT happen.

Rhetorical question: would BLM set fire to a black woman if they thought it would be blamed on white people?

Well that’s a little bit of a problem.

Why do people keep faking these things? What do they hope to gain?

Weird way to write a headline. "Not enough evidence" that an attack occurred? There is NO evidence that it did occur. This is solid evidence that it COULDN'T have occurred.

...not enough evidence....

The only thing that surprises me about this “incident” is that Spartucus Booker and Heels Up Harris didn’t introduce a Senate resolution 48 hours prior outlawing burning african Americans as a hate crime a la Jessie Smollett.

Prosecutors: Not enough evidence to prove Wisconsin attack

Headline made me think it was about Kyle Rittenhouse not being provoked to shoot the first attacker, Joseph Rosenbaum. Just glad it was another incident.

“What do they hope to gain?”

They hope to become hard luck heroes amongst the scum with whom they associate. Perhaps even go down in “history” with Rosa Parks.

And drugs. Lots and lots of free drugs.

So they do NOT plan to prosecute?

Sounds like a good excuse for more nighttime big-city mayhem in the name of social justice. See the news at 10.

Hey look, it doesn't matter whether they find any evidence the incident even took place. First let's have a week of riots. Then pressure the Dem mayor to force the local PD to randomly arrest 6 white men and throw them in jail. Then in a month or so when they inevitably drop charges for not one shred of evidence, this is way more than enough justification for yet another 2 weeks of looting, arson and physical assaults. Woohoo! A never-ending cycle ....... sorta like quarterly Freepathons. (Heh heh, sorry, JimRob!)
