This seems to be a reoccurring theme in the age of Trump 

Quote:Police: Brown County church organist admitted to November vandalism

BEAN BLOSSOM, Ind. (WTHR) - A Brown County church vandalized with Donald Trump graffiti shortly after the 2016 election wasn't targeted by pro-Trump political activists, but a member of their own congregation, according to police.
People suspected the KKK or some other hate group was responsible for the graffiti. The arrest of the church organist, was a surprise - and a relief.
The Brown County prosecuting attorney's office issued a statement Wednesday saying they had charged 26-year-old George Nathaniel Stang of Bloomington with institutional criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. Stang was the man who originally claimed to have found the graffiti, and works as the organist at St. David's Episcopal Church in Bean Blossom.
"Oh my, the organist," Mary Ayers said. "The organist. Wow. Wow."
It was November, shortly after the presidential election. Stang told everyone he discovered the graffiti when he arrived for Sunday morning services.
The small Episcopal church is inclusive and welcomes gay couples.

Detectives immediately suspected the crime was committed by someone familiar with the church. They said cell phone records put Stang in the area Saturday night.
According to court records, when confronted with the evidence, the 26-year-old gay man confessed.
Investigators say Stang admitted to painting the "Heil Trump" and "Fag Church" graffiti himself because he wanted to "mobilize a movement after being disappointed in and fearful of the outcome of the national election." He insisted his actions were not motivated by anti-Christian or anti-gay sentiments.
Ron Smith, a Brown county resident, shook his head.
"Is there any rhyme or reason or sanity in any of this action?" Eyewitness News asked.
"I don't think," Smith said.
Brown County Prosecutor Ted Adams talked about Stang's alleged motive.
"He explained that one of the reasons he had done it was because of fear. He was concerned about the results of the election," Adams said.
In a three-page, handwritten statement, Stang, according to court records, wanted to "mobilize a movement."
"I suppose I wanted to give local people a reason to fight for good, even if it was a false flag," he wrote. "To be clear my actions were not motivated by hate for the church or its congregation. I of course realize now, this was NOT the way to go about inspiring activism."
The hate crime hurt the community. Residents say it gave outsiders the wrong impression of Bean Blossom. 
Jody Boyd is relieved the mystery is apparently solved.
"Just knowing the hate crimes will be stopped here in Brown County, maybe things will be put to rest," Boyd said.
If convicted, Stang could be sentenced to a year in jail and fined as much as $5,000. Reached by phone Wednesday, he had nothing to say.
The church had no comment on the arrest, but Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows issued the following statement about the vandalism:  "I was saddened to learn this morning that the vandalism of St. David’s Church in Bean Blossom was committed by the church’s organist, Nathan Stang, who has admitted to police that he spray painted hateful graffiti on the church last November in the wake of the presidential election. This was a hurtful, dishonest, and profoundly misguided action that stands against the values of the people of this diocese and the Episcopal Church, and we will continue to cooperate with the authorities who are pursuing this case."[/size]

Sad. Just plain wrong. 
Having said that, posting this is kind of like pissing and moaning about your ingrown toenail while your mother is suffering from cancer. 
The world is going to hell. Many feel the election of an unprepared and inept president is only helping to rush to that end.

The point is is this is not an isolated incident.  We hear about the rise of hate crimes since Trump was elected POTUS, but as the layers of the onion are peeled back and these incidents are investigated the vast majority of the cases that are solved prove to be perpetrated by the left trying to place blame of Trump supporters.

Laughing  Thanks once again for informing us of what is proper and NOT proper to post here.  I'm beginning to fear we will never learn, but thank God you keep trying....

I, on the other hand, found the article to be informative about a criminal case from last fall.

It was informative...to a point. And get a grip: I'm not telling you (or anyone else) what to post. Not now, not ever. I made a COMMENT about the post.

It's probably just me, but doesn't it appear that there is more FAKE racism than real racism going on?

http://www.startribune.com/st-olaf-repor...421912763/

Quote:NORTHFIELD, MINN. – A racist threat against a St. Olaf student that touched off campuswide protests and forced the college to cancel classes earlier this month was a hoax, the school revealed Wednesday.

A student confessed to writing the note, St. Olaf President David R. Anderson wrote in a message to students. The threat — an anonymous, typewritten note — was “fabricated,” he said, as an apparent “strategy to draw attention to concerns about the campus climate.”
