Teens face hate crime charges for cutting up LGBTQ Pride flags on Pride crosswalk in Atlanta

Atlanta police arrested four teens early Tuesday morning who have been accused of defacing Pride flags outside of a popular LGBTQ bar in midtown. Authorities said the defendants may face hate crime charges, which could result in penalties including jail time. Two suspects remain at large, police said.

According to the Atlanta Police Department (APD), officers responded to reports of vandalism at 1:40 am after witnesses claimed to have observed six men stealing Pride flags hanging in front of the bar and using knives to cut into them. The teens were also seen performing motorized scooter stunts on the notable rainbow-colored crosswalks at the intersection of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street.

While contacting authorities, a 911 caller stated, “They’re in the middle of the street popping wheelies, tearing up flags.” The six teens fled on scooters when officers arrived on the scene. Shortly after, four of them were apprehended, while two teens remain at large.

Surveillance video released by APD shows the group on scooters at the rainbow-colored crosswalk with Pride flags in hand. The crosswalk was installed in 2017 to honor the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, the New York Times reported.

During a press conference, APD Sgt. Brandon Hayes stated that the department takes “this community very seriously, and we want to make sure residents feel safe.”

LOL! Hate Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Continues The Con After Paying $50,000 to Charity in Settlement with Chicago – Still Claims He Didn’t Pay Fake Attackers to Jump Him in Wild Statement

‘Empire’ actor and disgraced race-hoaxer Jussie Smollett announced on Friday that he paid $50,000 to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts nonprofit as part of a settlement he entered with the city of Chicago for his infamous 2019 hate crime hoax.

In his announcement of the payout, he continued his con and portrayed himself as a victim of weaponized justice as he continued to peddle his debunked claims that he was targeted and attacked because of the color of his skin.

The City of Chicago previously filed a lawsuit against Smollett after it was revealed he submitted a false police report and was behind the hate hoax crime against himself. Smollett countersued and insisted he did not orchestrate the hate hoax.

Smollett reached a settlement with the city of Chicago last month, 6 years after he orchestrated a hate hoax crime, The Gateway Pundit reported.

In November 2024, the Illinois Supreme Court reversed Jussie Smollett’s conviction after the city had entered a plea deal with Smollett in 2019 in exchange for $10,000 and community service. The Supreme Court did not exonerate Smollett but held that he could not be punished twice and upheld his Fifth Amendment rights against double jeopardy. However, Smollett still contends that he was “exonerated” by the Supreme Court.

The ‘Empire’ actor said the attackers poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck while verbally abusing him with homophobic and racial slurs.

It turns out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers over $3,000 to help him pull off the “MAGA Country” hate hoax crime.

Michigan Judge Fights Lipreader Evidence which might prove she Lied to Cops after Assaulting Shopkeeper, Alleging Hate Hoax

In a misconduct saga that’s dragged on longer than most felonies, a Michigan judge accused of faking an assault allegation and charge of racism against a small businessman, wants key evidence thrown out, including silent surveillance footage and expert lip readers that might prove she lied to police.

Judge Demetria Brue of Detroit’s 36th District Court is fighting misconduct charges from the state’s Judicial Tenure Commission over a 2019 dispute with a Mackinac Island bike shop owner that she accused of being a racist. The Commission has said they are upset about two things: 1) that the judges lied about the encounter, and 2) that they attempted to use their status as judges to evade prosecution, both of which are against the rules for judges.

Documents reveal that the significant delay has been caused by repeated motions filed by the two judges challenging the process and power of the commission to censure them.

The shop owner, Ira Green, operates a bike rental business on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, and rented to two judges who were sightseeing during a judicial conference being held on the island.

The JTC says Brue falsely claimed the shop owner assaulted her during what was supposed to be a $23 sightseeing trip along with another Michigan judge, Judge Debra Nance of Southfield, Michigan. The Detroit Judge Brue wanted half off the price of the bike rental because of a complaint about how the bike handled, and then grabbed the receipt after, allegedly, calling the shop owner racist.

Gay imam who performed same-sex marriages in South Africa murdered in suspected hate crime

A South African imam known advocating LGBTQ+ inclusion within Islam was shot and killed in what some suspect to be a hate crime. The imam had performed same sex marriages and was reportedly the world’s first openly gay imam.

Imam Muhsin Hendricks, an imam who had performed same-sex marriages in South Africa, according to Breitbart, was fatally attacked on Saturday near Gqeberha, formerly known as Port Elizabeth. Authorities say unknown assailants in a pickup truck blocked his vehicle before two masked individuals opened fire.

According to the BBC, local police said, “Two unknown suspects with covered faces got out of the vehicle and started firing multiple shots at the vehicle.”

The Muslim Judicial Council condemned the killing, stating, “While police are still investigating the motive, speculation suggests it may be linked to Hendricks’ views on same-sex relationships.” The organization emphasized that “the sanctity of human life is a fundamental tenet of Islam” and denounced violence against any community.

Executive director at the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association Julia Ehrt is calling on authorities to investigate “what we fear may be a hate crime.”

“He supported and mentored so many people in South Africa and around the world in their journey to reconcile with their faith, and his life has been a testament to the healing that solidarity across communities can bring in everyone’s lives,” she said.

After 6 Years and an Overturned Conviction, Jussie Smollett and Chicago Reach Settlement over Hate Crime Hoax

Hate crime hoaxer and actor Jussie Smollett has finally reached a settlement with the city of Chicago six years after the city sued him over his accusations.

Chicago sued Smollett after he was accused of orchestrating a hoax when he claimed in 2019 that he was assaulted by two men in MAGA hats during a freezing Chicago winter. Police later determined that Smollett knew the two men and had organized the “attack” so he could drum up publicity to help his acting career.

City officials sued Smollett to recover the $130,000 in expenses the city incurred investigating his claims of being subjected to a hate crime in the middle of deep blue Chicago.

But Smollett denied orchestrating the assault and counter sued the city for what he said were false accusations.

Now, according to NBC News, Smollett has settled the case, though the city has not reported the details saying they “need more time to finalize documentation.”

Smollett was the focus of a special prosecutor determined that Smollett did commit a hoax and also said Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx committed “substantial abuses of discretion” in her lax conduct of the case. Smollett was also charged with six disorderly conduct counts.

Spain’s Vox Party Spokesperson Faces Hate-Crime Probe After Calling Out Link Between Immigration & Crime

A Spanish conservative lawmaker is facing a hate crime investigation after a press conference in which he highlighted the link between mass immigration and rising crime rates — a connection supported by official data but often ignored by Spain’s far-left administration.

José Antonio Fúster, national spokesman for the populist Vox party and member of the Madrid Assembly, addressed the media on July 29 last year, where he read out the forenames of several dozen individuals arrested during violent incidents in Barcelona that weekend.

“Sabar, Omar, Nassim, Abdelkader, Salah, Salah, Younes, Karim, Jamil, Amir, Ali, Oussama, Hassan… I can go on. Do you notice any patterns? Do you notice anything?” Fúster asked.

“We do, and this is what we have been denouncing for a long time, that the open-door policy of the Popular Party and the PSOE has direct consequences on the security of Spaniards,” he added.

Though the list he read had the surnames redacted and had already circulated online via party channels, his public use of it has led the National Police to file a report for alleged incitement to hatred. Fúster, protected by parliamentary immunity as a sitting deputy, expressed disbelief upon receiving the notification last week and doubled down on his comments.

“We’re constantly told that immigration and crime have no link,” Fúster said, as cited by Spanish digital newspaper The Objective. 

“But they’re not fooling anyone. The criminals that Spaniards endure in their neighborhoods have names — and we all know them.”

Vox maintains that spurious criminal complaints are part of a wider effort to silence those who raise valid security concerns. The party highlighted charges against MP Rocío de Meer last year for writing, “The future of this country is dark,” in response to the birth of a child named Ayoub in a rural Spanish village, and Jordi de la Fuente, another Vox figure, who is awaiting trial over a 2019 protest targeting an asylum center.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR: Irish Prosecutors Consider Charging Conor McGregor With ‘Inciting Hate’ Right After He Announces Presidential Bid

It looks like leftists in Ireland are taking a page out of the leftist playbook in America.

No sooner had Conor McGregor announced his bid for president of Ireland, prosecutors announced that they may seek to charge him with inciting hate.

This looks like the same type of lawfare BS that we just went through for years here in the United States.

Breitbart News reports:

Irish Prosecutors Mull Charging Conor McGregor with ‘Inciting Hatred’ After Presidential Bid Announcement

In the wake of Conor McGregor announcing his intention to run for president, Irish prosecutors are reportedly considering charging the UFC legend over allegedly “inciting hatred” amid the 2023 Dublin riots.

In the wake of McGregor being invited by the Trump administration to the White House and later announcing his intentions to run for the Irish presidency, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Dublin is said to be examining social media posts from the outspoken mixed marital artist for potential criminal charges, the Irish Independent reported.

According to the paper, the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) recently sent the DPP a police file regarding an investigation into posts McGregor made in 2023. If the prosecutors take up the case, the Irish fighter could face up to seven years in prison for his social media comments under the European nation’s draconian speech restrictions.

One of the supposedly offending posts came on the night before the Dublin riots, in which McGregor said in response to Ukrainian refugees being allowed to vote in local elections: “Ireland, we are at war.”

People can see what’s going on here.

Local Pennsylvania politician staged hate crime by planting noose at her OWN desk, cops claim

A local politician in Pennsylvania has been accused of attempting to pose as a victim of a hate crime by planting a noose at her own desk, cops have said. 

Allentown Police Department said LaTarsha Brown reported finding the rope on the desk of her office on the morning of January 10 this year. 

The department launched a criminal investigation and submitted the noose to the Pennsylvania State Police crime lab for DNA testing. 

On March 10, forensic investigators found Brown’s DNA on swabs from both the outer surface and inner knotted portion of the noose after it was taken apart. 

No one else’s DNA was detected on any part of the rope. 

The damning finding came after cops trawled video surveillance and building access control records to identify which city employees were present on the third floor of Allentown City Hall where Brown works to try to identify the suspect. 

Cops interviewed each employee and asked them to provide a buccal swab for DNA testing.    

‘Every city employee agreed, except for Ms. Brown,’ Allentown Police Chief Charles Roca told a press conference about the case on Monday. 

‘Initially cooperative, Ms. Brown later requested that the investigation be discontinued.’

The hate crime investigation subsequently turned into a probe against Brown herself. 

She was charged on Monday with tampering with or fabricating physical evidence – a second-degree misdemeanor, and making false reports to law enforcement, which is a third-degree misdemeanor.   

Third-degree misdemeanors carry a maximum penalty of up to one year in jail, and a fine of up to $2,500 under Pennsylvania law, according to Fienman Defense attorneys. 

Cops released an image of the object left on Brown’s desk, which comprised a small black rope tied into a noose shape.
