In Morristown, New Jersey someone has been vandalizing churches. Over the weekend, police arrested a man in connection with the crimes. Zuri C. Towns, 45, has since confessed to breaking signs and windows at the predominantly African-American churches. Towns attended church as a child at one of the churches. He was charged with four counts of criminal mischief. He was caught on surveillance video vandalizing a church, so confessing was just about all he could do. Some say these were fake hate crimes.
Authorities have now ruled out racism as a motive, since it was a black man who committed the vandalism. Towns says he acted alone. In the security footage, Towns is wearing a hoodie and a jacket. He walks fast up to the corner of the Church of God in Christ for All Saints in Morristown around 6:45 am on Saturday and half-heartedly throws a rock at the front of the church. “It wasn’t a good throw, he wasn’t a strong guy,” 17 year-old Tahj Valentine said prior to the arrest, as he vacuumed up glass before services Sunday. “He side-armed it, he’s obviously not a baseball player.”

Seems like a hate crime to me, doing something that will be blamed on another race or religion, regardless of the perp's race or religion.
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!
It is still racist and only a maybe on the "hate crime" because he knew what he was doing. He was trying to stir up the blacks who go to those churches by vandalizing the place and doing it in such a way that they would conclude that it was a racist white person who was committing the crime. It was a way to really hit in the heart with them by doing it to churches. People think of their churches as "sanctuaries" and they really don't want them defiled.
Yes it's a hate crime oh wait a minute ONLY WHITE MALES can commit hate crimes and be prejudice. I'm sorry I'm a white privileged male
I dont think that the intent of the law meant to excuse "fake" hate crimes. The person who commits them hates and means to spread that hatred.
Obama Legacy. Obama and the democrats lie so much about racism that isn't there so they have to try and make some up.
No such thing Of of hate crime or hate speech.
Then what's the guy trying to do??? Just break a few windows for fun??
1:38 PM ---- What?
Fake news, fake hate crimes, fake racism, fake sexual harassment. Where does it end with the corrupt media and our corrupt government?
