One must love the way the AP reports it: “There’s not enough evidence to prove that a group of white men set a young biracial woman on fire.”
There is NO evidence but there is strong evidence it’s another HOAX.
Althea Bernstein, 18, told police she was attacked by four white men while driving through a protest in downtown Madison around 1 a.m. on June 24. Bernstein said she was stopped at a red light when she heard someone yell a racial slur and one of the men sprayed her with lighter fluid through her open window and threw a flaming lighter at her, setting her neck and face on fire.
She drove away, put out the flames, and was treated for burns at a hospital, she said.
INTENSE PROBE TURNS UP EVIDENCE AGAINST HER
Federal, state, and local authorities investigated, found NOTHING, and closed the case.
Madison Acting Police Chief Vic Wahl issued his own statement, saying detectives were unable to “locate evidence consistent with what was reported.”
They didn’t find ANY evidence.
The family issued a statement thanking law enforcement and said they are not giving any interviews.
They are likely cutting their losses.
The alleged [hoax] assault came during a night of violence that included the toppling of two statues outside the Capitol and an attack on a state senator. A group of up to 300 people protested the arrest of a Black man after he shouted at restaurant customers through a megaphone while carrying a baseball bat.
GPS shows the ‘victim’ was in Middleton that night. She wasn’t even in the city. That’s not suspicious at all.
Police investigators used dogs, viewed camera footage, conducted exhaustive interviews, at great expense.
No charges were filed against Bernstein due to lack of evidence. Lack of evidence? She wasn’t there! Althea herself whined for being treated like a suspect.
She has burns on her face but either she did it or someone she doesn’t want to implicate did it.
“GPS shows the ‘victim’ was in Middleton that night. She wasn’t even in the city. That’s not suspicious at all.” I don’t think this was ever the issue from the investigative standpoint. It was the media (and her appearances on GMA, and with Prince & Meghan) that conflated the downtown Madison ongoings with the attack on her. She always consistently… Read more »
Our news media (along with our social media) has become one collective National Enquirer in regard to dishonest headlines and eagerness to publish lies made up by attention whores.
It’s almost enough to cause me to welcome a power outage.
The main thing I learned from reading the police report (157 pages) is that there’s a notion that White Supremacists wear Hawaiian shirts (her father even asked her about that specifically).
Like the “little boy who cried wolf,” I will never believe any minority who claims Whitey did anything having to do with racism to them including committing a violent act or even using a racist slur. I used to listen to them and acknowledge it could have happened but thanks to people like Tawana Brawley, Jussie Smolette among others and… Read more »
If she travels to that MAGA country stronghold known as Chicago there is a sympathetic Soros Inc. owned prosecutor there who will hear her case.
white guilt is so stupid
the real racial equality is “color blindness”，judging people by their deeds not their color of skin，the best way of defeating racism is not mentioning it
