Is anyone surprised? Chicago is full of crazy people like JoeB and thugs killing each other. An Asian *** is only surprising because Asians usually don't do this kinda shit. A black *** like Jussie Smollete is more what you expect.

Wrong. The KKK barely exists, but there are other white supremacist groups out there, and some of them are the Police/ICE/CBP.

You people need to stop repeating this stupid ----.

Anti-Trump Activist Behind Burning Cross That Sparked MAGA Blame​

The arson sparked outrage from Democrats who initially called it
the “seeds of racism and fascism.”​

17 May 2026 ~~ By Jacob Wheeler

A 21-year-old leftist college student is in custody after admitting to burning a cross in Chicago’s Grant Park, saying it was a protest against the Trump administration — an act that sparked outrage from Democrats who initially called it the “seeds of racism and fascism.”
The incident first flared up on June 9. A disturbing video showed a wooden cross burning at Grant Park in Chicago. Firefighters extinguished the flames and police released photos of a “person of interest” fleeing the scene, per ABC 7.
With no suspect in custody, Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a potential presidential contender, rushed to judgment.
“The fact that it even occurred at all speaks to what happens when the seeds of racism and fascism grow unchecked in our country,” Pritzker said, appearing to blame the arson on the political Right. “The threats are real. And in times like these, it’s easy to fall prey to despair, to think that the fight for justice is just too costly to engage in, that the mountain is too high to climb and the path is too narrow to navigate.”
Then came the twist.
On Monday, NBC Chicago identified University of Illinois Chicago senior Merlin Lu as the suspect in the cross-burning arson, who admitted to constructing and burning the cross and placing a red hat — symbolizing MAGA hats — on top in a protest against the Trump White House.
For decades, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), a white supremacist group, used cross burnings to intimidate black communities.
“How did you land on a burning cross?” reporter Chuck Goudie asked.

​

~snip~
Last week, Lu sent a scripted video to the local NBC affiliate, claiming responsibility for the cross burning. In his statement, he made alarming comments about President Donald Trump.
“I don’t want to wait till his term ends,” he said. “I don’t wanna wait until he may or may not get impeached. I want him gone right now.”
~snip~
Even with Lu in custody and his intentions known, Mayor Brandon Johnson said the incident is “a painful reminder of how hatred towards black Americans still permeates in our society.”
The FBI is investigating to determine whether the arson amounts to a hate crime.

​

Commentary:
So, we have a Chinese national who is burning a cross against Trump and has no idea the racial impact that had? I doubt he is telling the truth.
Democrats who initially called it the “seeds of racism and fascism.” - but once they found out it was one of their lefty loonies... they probably will want to have a statue made of him.
Yet the black mayor, fully knowing it was not about race... still plays the race card! How pathetic. The irony here is that the Democrats were the party of the KKK who burned the crosses originally!
Then there's IM2 ready to blame and air his anti-white racist rhetoric.
Like Brandon Johnson it's too easy to lie about the facts than to tell the truth.
Meanwhile, We find out that the leftist SPLC is the single largest contributor and purveyor of racism in our country, but somehow it's still the Right's fault when a Leftist burns a cross. If this was the plot of a TV show, people would say it's too ridiculous to be believable.

Hey retard, the Asian guy admitted he burnt the cross with a MAGA hate on top of it because he hates Trump and was protesting Trump. He has apologized to negroes that might have found it offensive.

He is one of YOU, a rabid leftwing lunatic that hates President Trump.

And NO ONE IS SUPRPISED.

A burning cross seen in Chicago’s Grant Park Tuesday afternoon sparked outrage among some locals, who recognized the historic symbol of hate and racism bluntly placed in a public, high-traffic space.

Police officers responded around 2:30 p.m. to the downtown park, where the wooden cross was burning, according to the Chicago Police Department. Officers extinguished the fire and an investigation is underway, police said. CPD released an image Wednesday afternoon of a man wearing black pants who was observed leaving the scene.

The picture on the right is the suspect. It's time the lying stopped from those who are the problem.

Guess you feel like a fool now that the truth has come out about this. On second thought, you're too stupid to know what a fool you are.

This story, the way it turned out, gave me a lot of hope for the future.

The Triple K, an outfit long known for racial bigotry, is now bringing Asian men into their organization.

I've been to the top of the mountain, I see a bright future where the Ku Klux Klan actually even admits black transgendered people into their fold.

So I read the first page of this thread. I just skipped to the last page because I was very very sure it was a hoax. Sure enough—-viola!

Did he Southern Poverty Law Center pay for the wood, the gasoline, the cross burner's fee, or all three?

It must suck be so low IQ that you think that just because a person isn't white that white supremacy can't be an angle.
