A woman pleaded guilty to setting up a cross-burning hoax to gain sympathy points for Mayor Yemi Mobolade.
Supporters flocked toward Yemi Mobolade, Colorado Springs’ first Black mayor, when he was in the running following what appeared to be a serious racial threat. However, the threat in question may have been less of a threat and more of a cruel campaign strategy, police say.
Reminds me of the "protests" outside of E3 when the game Dantes Inferno was shown in 2010. EA thought it would be a great idea to just, hire a bunch of people to take a protest that played into the games themes. So they'd each be holding stuff about the 7 sins, layers of hell. All that shit. It was not a good strategy. Faking shit to win never is, even if it works once, it means it likely won't ever again.
