WESH-TV ^ | 2/1/17 | Michelle Meredith

Police are looking into a hate crime in Orlando after a local woman told WESH 2 News all three of her family members' vehicles were vandalized with hateful words left behind.

Portia Allen was astounded when she discovered she was the victim of a hate crime.

"This is 2017. This is not supposed to happen," Allen said.

About 6 a.m. Monday morning, Allen's husband walked outside of their house off Hiawassee Road, looked at their three cars and saw hateful flyers.

...One tire on each car was also slashed.

Portia knows who did it. May have been her. Or her husband/boy friend/ex/neighbor/whoever.

It’s always the same with these “hate crimes”.

Why would a “news” station even cover a minor incident like this?

I call hoax.

Let’s see how long it takes for it to be exposed as such.

I smell a hoax. Why would anyone just slash one tire on each car. All that means is someone has to jack up the car and put the spare on. If you slash 2 or more, it causes significantly more problems and not that much harder to do,

Not clicking just to find out what the hateful words were.

Dear Portia: the local TV hacks are not the police. Why are you calling them?

“Hateful words” on a piece of paper and a slashed tire quickly lead to a police investigation and news coverage.

Meanwhile, in Berkeley California, some kids had a bonfire and a boisterous protest.

"Every windshield had a note. The basic message was: black lives don't matter. There was also a swastika on the bottom.

...

Why was the family a target?

Allen thinks it's because her daughter is an organizer for Black Lives Matter in Central Florida."

The notes said “black lives don’t matter” with a swastika at the bottom.

Is there a website dedicated to recording and tracking hoax hate crimes? There should be. I suspect some of the “victims” are repeat offenders.
