Bi-racial woman said four white males lit her on fire in racist attack — prosecutors found no evidence that it happened

She got national attention for her story about a horrendous attack
 

A bi-racial woman received national media attention for her story that she had been attacked by four white males who doused her with gasoline and lit her on fire, but law enforcement agencies say they could not find any evidence to support her claims.

18-year-old Althea Bernstein said that she was attacked by four white males while she was driving through a protest in Madison, Wisconsin, in June. She claimed that the men yelled a racial slur at her when she stopped at a red light, and someone sprayed lighter fluid on her before lighting her on fire.

Bernstein's harrowing story made national headlines and many media figures championed her cause, including PBS White Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
While driving through a protest, stopped at a red light and someone yelled a racial epithet and squirted her with lighter fluid and set her on fire?

(Wind your window up...)

Who yelled what? in the middle of a protest? Seems white folks would not be yelling racial epithets in the middle of a protest... :pondering:

Stopping at a red light in a protest?

Lots of holes in that story....

This incident supposedly happened in Madison, Wisconsin. Madison's population is one of the most liberal in the U.S. The chances of four white, preppy kids driving around attacking black people or other minorities is infinitesimal. Much less likely in the manner prescribed.
I thought HOAX the first time I read about the story.
Maybe at some future date they'll get the truth out of her.
But for now it will be filed away by all the race hucksters as a real incident.
You know the line about a lie traveling half way around the world before the truth gets out of bed.
I hope someone is keeping track of all these hoaxes compared to real incidents.
Right now it seems hoax has a huge lead over real.

Well, my first problem is in working out the geometry of this alleged assault.

If the 'victim' was driving, that puts the victim on the left side of the vehicle, window down. The alleged assaulters would have to be also on the left side of the vehicle to perform the assault.  At a red light.

It's hard to get four people on foot standing on the left side of the vehicle at a red light, unless there is a pedestrian island, and the vehicle is next to it. Not many vehicles would allow four people access out the passenger side to assault someone in the driver's seat. That part just doesn't work out for me.

Driving through a "protest" I likely would not have my window down. If I did, I'd certainly be on the lookout for people approaching my vehicle, especially people who were racially different, in a group. While some lack situational awareness, I know I'd be paying attention driving through a "protest", no matter how I might go blindly through my day otherwise. Hell, I'd be looking around like Stevie Wonder, only seeing more. So the idea that four white people could approach her vehicle with malicious intent during a protest and not set off some alarm  bells, at least enough to wind the window up, just doesn't pass muster.

The demand for hate crimes continues to exceed the supply. My WAG is that the female was involved in arson and burned herself. And then she decided to leverage her need for medical attention to circulate a hoax-crime claim.

Madison police released a report more than 150 pages long outlining their search for corroborating evidence. Video footage they obtained showed Bernstein’s vehicle stopped only once and no one, including the four white men she alleged, approached her car at any point, and her car window remained closed.

In a less insane city she would be jailed and billed for the officer-hours her hoax-crime claim consumed.

Someone has... for around 30 years now.
Jared Taylor, founder of American Renaissance, has been reporting on these racial hoaxes since back around 1991 (when it was a print issue), and still does in the online version.

However, much of what is written there would not be permitted on this board...

"My WAG is that the female was involved in arson and burned herself."

That has been suggested by a number of commenters on different forums concerning the story, and I do mean story as in fantasy.

Likely. Far, far, more likely than the scenario she outlined.

Madison police, federal law enforcement find no evidence biracial woman was attacked
    Chris Rickert | Wisconsin State Journal 11 hrs ago

Madison police announced Friday they have not been able to corroborate allegations made by a biracial Monona woman that she was burned by four white men in Downtown Madison in June in what was initially reported as a hate crime and garnered national and international attention. ...

Despite the investigation’s findings, acting Madison Police Chief Vic Wahl said his department is not recommending Bernstein be charged with obstructing an officer, which can apply in cases in which a person makes a false police report. A representative of the U.S. Attorney’s Office was not available for comment, but Wahl said he doubted it would pursue charges against Bernstein, either.

Wahl said there is a difference between actively trying to deceive law enforcement and law enforcement not being able to corroborate a report of a crime, and he said Bernstein and her family have been cooperative throughout the investigation.

“We were unable to corroborate (Bernstein’s story), but we are not speculating on what did and did not happen,” he said. He also confirmed that Bernstein’s injuries were consistent with being burned, and said she has offered no “alternative explanation” for what happened to her. ...

Given the context, I'd suspect an accident in the preparation of incendiary devices for use in a "mostly peaceful protest", rather than in the commission of arson.  (I don't think smashing a Molotov cocktail on the pavement near a police line is arson, just assaulting police officers with a deadly weapon.)
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

That's a viable and possibly better explanation than mine. Though Molotov cocktails are also commonly used against property.

Do people on the left ever read the news? The stories of these hoaxes seem to  be in the news every other month.
But the hoaxes keep on coming.
I can just see the faces of the cops when this nut relayed her story to them. "Oh, brother...not another one."
