Woman Who Said She Found Hateful Note on Car After Teens Yelled 'Trump 2016!' Made Up Story: Police
Adwoa Lewis, 19, of Baldwin, told police she was driving home around 11 p.m. on Sept. 2 when four teens confronted her, yelled “Trump 2016!” and told her she “didn’t belong here,” Nassau County police said.

Lewis said she woke up the next morning after parking her car in front of her house and discovered her tire had been slashed. A note on her car read, “Go Home,” she told police.

But after carrying out an “extensive investigation,” police discovered the confrontation with the teens hadn’t taken place, and Lewis admitted she’d written the note and put it on her car.


Can we at least fine the people for the time wasted by the authorities? The local taxpayers have to foot the bill for this nonsense. Ridiculous...

Maybe it has changed in recent years, but I remember when making a false police report was a pretty serious deal.

Almost every claim of a hate crime is a hoax. But the news media, especially CNN, just fall for it hook, line and sinker. They are so biased that they are easy to fool.

Do you believe these people should be penalized in some way?

When will these morons learn?

Putting Trump's name in these 'hate crime' reports automatically decreases the odds that it is a genuine hate crime, by a factor of 1000.

Most genuine incidents of hate crimes involve racial slurs and the like, even though that is not guarantee (how many fake hate crime incidents have we seen that involved nooses, swastikas, and racial slurs?). But it is highly unlikely that a random person committing a genuine hate crime is going to blurt out Trump's name.

It goes beyond black/white... fake rape accusations... fake Muslim attacks...

Here's a list. My number count at 403 was a little high.

I know, same people who want "common sense ______". How the hell you want common sense anything when you can't even decipher the real world?
