There may not be any hate crimes at all.
The Detroit Free Press: Eastern Michigan U. racist graffiti: Ex-student charged, did it for 'self-serving' reasons
"It was totally self-serving," Eastern Michigan University Chief of Police Robert Heighes told the media during a quick news conference. "It was not driven by politics. It was not driven by race."
Well, thank goodness for that. A black guy graffiti-ing "KKK" and "Leave N-word" around a campus cant possibly have a political or racial motivation. And if not, it sure as heck was used for both political and racial means.
Especially when his fake hate crime led to a convenient protest complete with blocking of traffic to protest the racist messages and claim systemic racism etc.
The idiot perpetrator Eddie Curlin is now charged with
three counts of malicious destruction of property; four counts of identity theft; and one count of using computers to commit a crime. Malicious destruction of property is a misdemeanor. Identity theft is a felony, as is the charge of using computers to commit a crime. Curlin was returned to the Department of Corrections following his arraignment.Heighes said the identity thefts came to light as the department investigated the grafitti, but were not directly tied to it.
Let's hope he is prosecuted to the fullest to make other fakers of hate crimes (and perpetrators of actual hate crimes) think again before doing it.

He should also be charged with a "Hate Crime". And do the time just as you or I would were we guilty.
Yes, if you fake a crime especially if you're trying to have someone else blamed for it you should be punished as if you committed the crime.
Hey Aaron;
I have noticed that all these "hate crimes" in the age of Trump have turned out to be fake, from the muslim girl that stated that some people wearing Trump hats tore her habib off and it turned out to be fake to the black guys that burned their church and blamed the "KKK" or some other group turns out to be self serving. This will cause a problem because eventually a real one will happen. The reasons that these people did it, "They wanted to warm people of extremism".
