Summary
A 13-year-old in Central, Louisiana, is charged with multiple hate crimes after a months-long terror campaign against his elderly neighbor, including slashing tires, spray-painting swastikas, setting fires, and donning a KKK robe to defile her garage. Legal experts argue the pattern of escalating violence meets stalking and terrorism criteria, while Morrison-Howard’s attorney demands harsher charges. Her son has urged state action, citing a troubling rise in Louisiana’s hate crimes—up 37% in 2024—with many cases unreported. The community watches, fearing unchecked hate could spiral into even greater violence. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
