Weeks after a mass shooting left nine black parishioners dead in South Carolina, members of New Covenant Church in Colorado Springs, Colo., were understandably concerned when racist, intimidating messages were posted to a tree near the church’s entrance.
lack men be aware,” one sign stated, “you are the target.”
The church’s predominantly black congregation opted to barricade itself inside during a recent service upon first noticing the threatening notes.
“We locked our doors this morning,” Pastor Roland Joyner explained, “so we were inside; but it shouldn’t be that way. You shouldn’t have to lock your doors in the church.”
While Joyner said the thought of someone targeting his church left him “speechless,” a subsequent arrest in the case was in itself a surprising development.
Suspect Vincent Broughton, police believe, is the man responsible for this attack. Notably, the 44-year-old facing charges related to a “bias-motivated crime” is black. He reportedly confessed to the crime, though there is no indication he offered a motive.

The next White charged with hate speech need to demand “Equal Protection” just like homosexuals are given. I can promise if he had been White, not black, ol’ Vincent would be charged with a hate crime. Where is the equal protection now?

Really.
DeleteI've seen this one and two faux anti-gay hate crimes in the last three days, there's actually more leftists faking hate crimes than there are actual bigots committing hate crimes! There are so many faux hate crimes that a website exists to track them: http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/
ReplyDeleteI think in this particular case noted above the police probably got suspicious when they saw "black men beware!", since that is traditional hate crime language, right? ;-)
Thanks and what "interesting" times we live in, just hope we all aren't eliminated in the near future.
