Another hate crime hoax exposed as ‘KKK’ attacks revealed to be complete fiction

Days after the 2016 election, two students at Williams College are facing some disciplinary action for committing vandalism as a hoax. The students tried to make it appear as if the vandalism was committed by the Ku Klux Klan. The college didn’t disclose the names of either student, however they did provide information regarding the vandalism. Fake blood was poured onto the staircases of a campus building, the red substance was used to spelled out “AMKKK KILL” on the walls. Campus organizations canceled several meetings on the day of the vandalism as a result.

The local police were notified of the vandalism and began investigating the incident. The FBI and Massachusetts State Police were also involved with the case. Over 40 people of interest were investigated following the vandalism. Police later concluded that two students were responsible for the incident.  According to the police, the students were trying to make a statement against the President-elect, Donald Trump.

In a statement made by Williams College President Adam Falk, he noted that the students have admitted to committing the vandalism in order to bring attention to the effects that the presidential election had on many within their community. “Their actions did much more than damage property,” Falk continued. “They harmed our entire community and caused considerable fear, among students in particular. We are deeply distressed that anyone in our community would feel compelled to express themselves in such a destructive and harmful way,” Falk said.

This Massachusetts example of a hate crime hoax is just one of many that have occurred since the 2016 election. A Muslim student in Louisiana claimed that she was attacked by several Trump supporters, who pulled her hijab off her head. Police later discovered that she had fabricated the story. She is currently facing misdemeanor charges for the hoax. A Bowling Green State University student faces similar charges in Ohio, after repeatedly misleading police investigators about an attack where alleged Trump supporters attacked her with rocks.

Last Tuesday, a racial slur was painted on the side of a Martin Luther King Jr. Family Outreach Center, however, the community itself was responsible for the hoax after gathering for songs and speeches. They vandalized their own turf, then went on to insist that the vandalism would not be tolerated in their community. Many people chimed in about the matter on social media stating that it was a hoax. The day after the MLK Center vandalism, several reports surfaced regarding a message that was spray painted on a Logan family’s home. The message read “Can’t stump the Trump, mexicano”, and had a swastika spray painted beside it. The community response was much quieter as similar reports started surfacing around town. City Council President Ben Stuckart heard reports from parents about incidents in elementary schools, as well as graffiti in a school bathroom. A note was also left on the front door of Kim Papich’s home, who helps a refugee family and friends. The note used a racial slur and told the refugees to “Go home”.

Since many of the reports were either sketchy or lacking in concrete evidence, it was fairly easy to identify them as hoaxes. Some degree of caution is necessary in situations where the picture has yet to be completed, but minor incidents since the election have mainly been hoaxes aimed at portraying Donald Trump supporters in a negative light. There are plenty of people who believe that reports of racism are mostly a form of leftist weaponry against the innocent. Bill O’Reilly has stated that it’s “open season on Christians and white men in America.” The denials arise as fast as the incidents themselves. The leftists are really pushing for division among all ethnicity, religion, gender and culture.
