Could be a hate crime. Could be a staged incident. Too early to tell.
If this is true, it’s horrible. However, I live in NYC, and there is NO buzz whatsoever about this story, which makes me suspect there’s something fishy about it. We’ll see.
Could be nothing. I see no video of anybody igniting anyone. All I see is black profiling of a swaggering yound man out on the town, frankly.
Show me a video of said ‘attack’.
It is as much a hate crime as Islam is peaceful.
