I’m glad this is being charged as a hate crime being christian has been persecuted for long enough.

    I hate that the klan stole this from us. If I want to protest christian shit I can't burn a cross. Gotta settle for shitting on pictures of the pope I guess.

    Its also annoying for me since it was used multiple times in Scotland as effectively signal fires, there's some prime borrowed symbolism but no the fucken Klan got their hands on it. Red bandanas and burning crosses would be prime fucken symbolism at wildcat strikes, eh guess we can steal something from the Norse blood eagle a scab.

    Merlin Lu admitted to a TV station this week that he was responsible for the cross burning in Grant Park on June 9. But he insisted that he was protesting President Donald Trump and was not using the cross as a historical symbol of hate and intimidation against Black people.

    I think he dumb and tellin the truth

    Lu said he was protesting the “ruling class” and Christian nationalists who support Trump.

    “I did know about this historical relevance beforehand. But I didn’t know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did,” Lu told the TV station. “Cause my protest has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with gender.”

    Did he bring and set up the cross too, or just set fire to something that was already there? I'm really hoping that someone set up a pro-Trump cross and this guy was just burning it down

    I am tired of this hate crime bullshit. Freedom of speach beach and the right to get your dumb ass arested for arson and endangering the public.... but hate crime no. Sheeeet edong and his roman salute... ya'll gettin played. I hate liberals... is that a hate crime? Do you feel intimidated?👶🍼 The zionist are pokin holes in your system and what was once something that kept you safe will now become a bludgeon. As the pendulum swings the masters feast and the working class gets beat. Careful what you wish for... There once was a geenie with a ten foot weenie who went to the corner store, she thought it was a snake, so she hit it with a rake, and now its only 5 ft 4!

    I love down votes
