A church organist was arrested Wednesday after he vandalized his own church with a swastika and pro-Trump graffiti in order to “mobilize a movement.”

George Nathaniel Stang, 26, admitted in a handwritten statement to spray painting a swastika, “fag church,” and “heil Trump” on St. David’s Episcopal Church in Bean Blossom, Indiana. “I suppose I wanted to give local people a reason to fight for good, even if it was a false flag,” Stang wrote, according to a local NBC report. “To be clear my actions were not motivated by hate for the church or its congregation. I of course realize now, this was NOT the way to go about inspiring activism.”

It was a hate crime, actually.  Just not against the church.  It was a hate crime against the people he tried to frame.  Prosecute the SOB.

There was a report of  a hate crime at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn recently.  A Black student claimed he found a handwritten note calling him racist names and demanding that he leave town.  He even took a photo of the note to show to the media.  All sorts of demonstrations and speeches in support of the student and against hate were planned.
The local media asked the Northfield police chief what the police were going to do about it.  The chief said they couldn't do anything because nobody reported this "crime."  Nobody came forward with the supposedly racist letter and gave it to the police.
They couldn't do anything unless someone actually reported the "crime" and gave the police the racist note.
What are the chances this is another hoax? I'd say pretty high.

You have to be starting from a position of good to claim the moral high ground. When you start by denying the very foundations of a church (scripture) then only fools give you the time of day.

It was a lie. He bore false witness against his neighbors by making graffiti which would be attributed to and cause resentment of others.
Bearing false witness is a violation of one of the 'big ten'. 

Sad thing for a church.
