Johnson released a statement from Bernstein's family that said they were “saddened at what happened to Althea and the unprovoked attack on her body.
, I have not seen a follow up story on this as of yet. Stop lights have camera's. Did the police see any evidence. Did the police take her burned clothes as evidence ? All I hear now is...crickets... Why ?
Too many holes in this story! Keep gaslighting the racial crap ( no pun intended) How about all the black men that attack white people just for being white? Why aren’t all of those “Hate crimes” on the news? YEAH EXACTLY! Keep up the Good work 👍🏼
Where does she live because most intersections now have cameras. Or any business at that intersection may have cameras.
Calling 🐂💩
Sounds like a terrorist attack
No witnesses, no video? Sounds like someone looking to make some pity cash.
Let me guess,they were chanting,'Trump!'.had confederate flags and Maga hats
Well isn't that convenient for the narrative! I bet they wore MAGA hats just for good measure!
white-on-black = hate crime black-on-white = hush crime
People will believe anything now.
All because she was biracial. Sad. This is america.
Major intersection, with cameras every where. Lets see how this plays out. Violence and mayhem all night, with BLM protesters and 4 rednecks target her?
This smells really Jussie
Replies indicate a majority of USA Today followers actually believe this happened.
I would bet money those guys are redcaps.
Sickening and repulsive. Who has this much hate? I hope she makes a full physical recovery, though I fear the emotional injuries will last the rest of her lifetime. 💔

More to this story
get the FBI involved stat, let Althea tell her story to the Feds under felony threat to see if she’s smolletting.
Of course there will be further investigations and search for any nooses hanging around! Right?
Reminds me of 60's again. Will this be investigated? Let's see. This world 🌎 is going NUTS! SICK OF THIS RACISM!
😢😢
Jussie said what?
This is so awful - the hate in this country is hard to process. The statement “land of the free” does not mean okay to commit attacks of violence. Poor girl - the cycle continues
What Dumbasses pushing like on this? I hope this beautiful young lady get Justice.
Damn Bernsein Bears has gone dark. Oh wait this is real
😡
All these trumpers need to stop the hate crimes, Hate crimes should be consider as a terrorism crime.
How can someone be so hateful? 😔
