Meet a Shithole - this one boasted about her nasty, disgusting racist deeds

How was this not a hate crime?

http://metro.co.uk/2017/12/21/white-student-accused-of-smearing-tampons-on-black-roommates-bag-avoids-hate-crime-charge-7178294/
<snip>
A white student who bragged about harassing her black roommate in a series of vile attacks has avoided a hate crime charge.

Among the abuse, Brianna Brochu allegedly rubbed used tampons on her roommate’s bag, poured gone-off dip into her body lotion and even claimed to have inserted her victim’s toothbrush ‘in places where the sun doesn’t shine’.

The first year student at the University of Hartford in Connecticut admitted the abuse against her roommate Chennel Rowe in a post on her own Instagram page.

In it, she bragged how she ‘finally got rid of her roommate’ who she referred to as ‘Jamaican Barbie’.

Brochu has pleaded not guilty to criminal mischief and breach of peace. Civil rights advocates pushed unsuccessfully for her to be charged with hate crime as well.

They should have made an example of her and prosecuted her for hate crimes. What a stupid, vile little bitch. I hope this haunts her for the rest of her life.

It won't haunt her - getting caught will piss her off for life.
She's not too bright or she would never have posted her vile actions.
