1. They cover up hate crimes in NC a lot of times.

Maybe with this being near Wilmington, they will actually do an investigation and if it was a hate crime (looks like it might have been with the car so obviously hidden using vegetation like that) actually charge someone with a hate crime.

Too many hate crimes happen in my area that never get charged as a hate crime or even called one, including the death of a transgender woman a couple years ago. This was a bit further inland, closer to where I live in NC. The whole thing was swept under the rug.

It is dangerous to be gay in certain areas of NC. Way too dangerous.
