🚨HATE CRIME: A 21-year-old man was charged with arson and two counts of a hate crime after allegedly burning a cross in Chicago’s Grant Park — a well-known symbol of racist hatred.
His name is Merlin Lu.
Lu was arrested at his residence with help from U.S. Marshals. He now faces multiple charges, including arson, two hate crime counts, and cross burning to intimidate. The investigation also involved the FBI and Illinois State Police. Father Michael Pfleger had offered a $10,000 reward for information.
Another clown hides behind “protest” while using one of the most hateful symbols in history.
THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!
This is not a detainment camp in World War II, nor a prison in the Holocaust, this is Gaza. A chilling reminder that history repeats.
A holocaust is happening right before our eyes and the world is silent
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
