Dauntarius Williams, 21, admitted to spraying the racist graffiti on his own car that featured racial slurs like “go home,” “date your own kind,” and “die,” the Riley County Police Department said. Authorities decided not to charge the man for filing a false report, saying it would “not be in the best interests of the citizens.” The photographs of the vehicle covered in graffiti at an apartment complex near Kansas State University were posted last Wednesday. The picture prompted condemnation on social media and the school increased security. The FBI opened a civil rights investigation. "While William's mistake had a decidedly negative impact on the community, please recognize that he, like many of us when we were young, is a young man who made a mistake and is now doing his best to own up to it," Brad Schoen, director of the police department, said.How's this now? What would happen in the event Williams was charged that would not be "in the best interests of the citizens"? Would Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton come to town and disrupt life as Manhattan knows it, claiming that charging Williams will discourage similar hoaxers in the future when we need these hoaxes to remind everyone about the dangers of fake racism? Seems to me local police are having enough time grappling with all the racism charges from the Colin Kaepernick sycophants of the world and don't need more reasons to come into conflict with the activist crowd if they can possibly avoid it. Williams would have been an activist hero if he's gotten away with it. Let the cops make the outcome worse by charging him, and they're just asking for the next police brutality charge accompanied by team coverage from the local TV yokels. By the way, if an actual racist has been caught in charged in any of these supposed hate crimes, by all means let me know about it. I don't want to use absolute language without justification, but as far as I can tell, not a single one of these incidents has turned out to be legitimate. If I missed something, please, fill me in.
