This one is out of Pennsylvania. 'I pray for her': Allentown police charge city employee for fabricating noose hate crime at work | WFMZ
If you get points for being a victim, then you will do things to convince people that you have been victimized.
Police are charging LaTarsha Brown with falsely claiming someone put a noose on her desk. Investigators now believe she put it there herself. Back on January 10, the report first came out that Brown found a noose on her desk in the City's Department of Community and Economic Development.
Eventually, after she asked them not to pursue the case, they got a subpoena for her DNA. It matched the only DNA present on the noose.
That was enough to get her 2 misdemeanor charges: making a fake police report and falsifying evidence.
It also had the effect of throwing a cold bucket of water on allegations that there was a climate of discrimination in the Allentown City Hall. Now there may or may not be such a climate, but if there is, this didn't help root it out.
The hat tip goes to X (formerly Twitter) and Collin Rugg.
Jussie Smollett would be proud.
I'm completely aware that there is discrimination and racism in America, but neither Jussie Smollett or LaTarsha Brown are doing much to combat it. Just the opposite in fact.
So much bullshyt associated with these 'noose' hoaxes. As a little white boy, growing up in South Alabama in the 1960s, I never heard of lynching black folks, but me and my buddies sure watched enough Westerns that trying to fashion a proper hangman's noose was a common endeavor - with absolutely no 'racist' intent behind it.
