Police Searching For Bigot Who Set Pride Flag On Fire Outside NYC Restaurant
Someone will eventually recognize her, and then she’ll be charged with a hate crime, not to mention arson. Via Mediaite:
New York City authorities are looking for a woman suspected of committing a hate crime when she set fire to a pride flag hanging outside of a restaurant in Soho.
The incident took place at around 1:35 a.m. on Monday morning at The Little Prince. The arson was captured on camera, and the footage shows a red-haired woman getting out of a white SUV, using a lighter to set the flag ablaze, then getting back in the passenger side of the car as it drove off.
