21-Year-Old Charged With Hate Crimes For Cross Burning, Denies Racially Motivated
About this episode
Prosecutors have charged a Chicago college student with hate crimes, arson, damage to property, disorderly conduct and reckless conduct after Merlin Liu admitted to burning a cross in Grant Park. Liu uploaded a video and then gave an interview to a local reporter claiming he didn’t realize the historic relevance and severity of a burning cross in this country. Liu claims he was simply protesting the Trump Administration and the cross had nothing to do with race.
