Police investigating protest at Tucker Carlson's home as possible hate crime

Police in Washington, D.C., are investigating an incident outside Fox News host Tucker Carlson's home, including whether a spray-painted anarchist symbol on Carlson's driveway represents a hate crime.

A crowd of people gathered outside Carlson's home on Wednesday night, shouting insults and, according to the police statement, defacing property.

"We welcome those who come here to exercise their First Amendment rights in a safe and peaceful manner; however, we prohibit them from breaking the law," the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement to The Hill.

"Last night, a group of protestors broke the law by defacing private property at a Northwest, DC residence," the statement said. "MPD takes these violations seriously, and we will work to hold those accountable for their unlawful actions.

google says, a crime motivated by racial, sexual, or other prejudice, typically one involving violence.



but yes, tp sounds like a good idea, especially right before rain, it's very hard to clean up.

He's only 49. I always thought of him like George Will when Will was very active with Raygun in the '80s - a "young fogey". Of course, Will has finally "aged" into his fogeyism.
