Last year there was an arson case in NYC, I can’t recall if it was a temple or Jewish community center. It made headlines during the fall election.
When it was discovered that the fire was set by a black man who worked on the city’s hate crimes task force the story went away. He was a “confused young man” we were told.
He’s a gay black man who is a product of the NYC foster system. No way he was going to be held truly responsible for his crimes.
Eric Clanton got three years PROBATION. For a half dozen, separate, potentially lethal attacks.
