One of the victims of the “hate crime,” Cassie Herr, a roommate of the girlfriend in question, comfortably played the race card at a rally deriding the events. “I don’t see enough white faces,” she said. “We are the majority and…it is our job to make sure that everyone…feels supported here.” Apparently this...
