The Southern Poverty Law Center Has "documented" nearly 1,000 hate crimes by Trump supporters against minorities since the election, which they admit are unproven. I wonder if they have amended that number to remove the hate crimes they can prove are hoaxes. Like this one from Philadelphia where a black man was busted for vandalizing cars with pro-Trump, racist, and anti-Semitic graffiti.

Philly.com reports:

A 58-year-old South Jersey man has been arrested and charged with vandalizing several vehicles and homes in South Philadelphia on the day after the presidential election, police announced Thursday. William Tucker, of the unit block of Hemmings Way in Lawnside, Camden County, has been arrested and charged in the early-morning Nov. 9 incidents on the 900 block of South Sixth Street, at the border of Bella Vista and Queen Village, police said.

The graffiti, which was on cars, store fronts, and walls ranged from Trump's name to swastikas. One black woman's car was defaced with "Trump Rules" and "Black Bitch." Residents were so offended that white people were apologizing and offering the black woman to pay for the graffiti removal.

One indignant resident who saw the offending tag said, "If we were to put any president's name on that wall, it wouldn't be an offensive thing, but unfortunately, Trump has made himself synonymous with hateful rhetoric."

But as it turned out, it wasn't Trump or his supporters with the hateful rhetoric, it was a black man who was trying to make it seem like the President-elect was inspiring a wave of hatred across the country.

Not only was Tucker captured on surveillance video committing some of these acts, an anonymous tipster ratted him out to the police. He was charged with 4 counts of criminal mischief and amazingly released on his own recognizance. Are you kidding me? He perpetrated a hate crime hoax and did thousands of dollars in damages and they just let him go with a summons?

Imagine if they had arrested a white man for this crime. That fictional racist would get slapped with multiple felonies with hate crime enhancements and would be looking at a six-figure bail. There would also be a Justice Department civil rights investigation with additional charges. On top of all that, it would be a major-outrager national news story instead of a brief mention in a local paper.

To the SPLC, who are trying desperately to verify all of the Trump-inspired hate crimes they claim are destroying the country, they can take these ones off of the list:

Racist pro-Trump graffiti in Philadelphia was done by a black man.

Black woman in Kentucky who said white boys in Trump shirts threw rocks at her was lying.

In Chicago a lesbian faked a series of Trump-related threatening letters to herself.

A black man in Massachusetts lied about being attacked by white Trump supporters.

A black woman in Delaware lied about white Trump supporters threatening her with a gun.

An Asian woman in Minnesota lied about being attacked by a group of Trump-suppporting white men who told her to leave the country.

A Muslim woman in Louisiana lied about being beaten by a white man in a Trump hat.

Really, the SPLC could take all of their hate crimes off of the list, for the simple fact that there is no evidence that any of them actually happened. They won't however because they are in the business of scaring people with fake racism.
