Breitbart “News” Race-Baiting Fails Again: Man Vandalized His Own Truck With Anti-Cop Messages
Last week the Texas cell of Breitbart “News” published one of their typical nasty race-baiting articles about a West Texas man who claimed his truck had been vandalized with anti-police messages: Disabled Vet’s Truck With Pro-Cop Message Vandalized: ‘Black Lives Matter’.
In the usual Breitbart fashion, Lana Shadwick (who’s described as the “legal analyst for Breitbart Texas”) included absurdly inflammatory statements about Black Lives Matter that were completely unrelated to the story, because the commenters need their red meat.
“Black Lives Matter” and #FYF (F**k Your Flag) graffiti was sprayed in black paint on the outside of his truck. The vandals defaced the truck with “F**k your flag, your family, your feelings, your faith,” and tore up the inside of the truck .
#FYF911 or #FYF “black radicals” promise to hold the “imperial powers” responsible for the terrorist attacks on September 11th accountable on Friday, as previously reported by Breitbart Texas. Supporters pledge to burn white people’s symbols of “the illusion of their superiority” and their “false white supremacy.” Those include items such as the American flag, the British flag, police uniforms, and Ku Klux Klan hoods.
Breitbart Texas published photographs posted on one #F**k Your Flag supporter’s Twitter pages—a black male and a black female wiping their naked butts with an American flag.

Breitbart Texas reported on August 28th that members of the #FYF911 or #FukYoFlag and #BlackLivesMatter movements called for the lynching and hanging of white people and cops. They encouraged others on a radio show to “turn the tide” and kill white people and cops to send a message about the killing of black people in America.
New Black Panthers marched on the Waller County Jail where Sandra Bland died and shouted, “You’re gonna stop doing what you’re doing, or we will start creeping up on you in the darkness,” as reported by Breitbart Texas.
But today, in a setback for the race-baiting right wing propagandists, Scott Lattin was arrested and charged with vandalizing his own truck.
A Central Texas man who claimed anti-police vandals had attacked the family pickup truck has been arrested after police believe he vandalized the truck.
Scott Lattin, a disabled veteran, told Whitney police on Sept. 8 someone tagged his truck with “Black Lives Matter” and other graffiti because he displayed pro-police messages and symbols on his pickup.
But on Friday afternoon, Whitney police arrested Lattin on a misdemeanor charge of making a false police report.
“Very disturbing,” said Whitney Police Chief Chris Bentley. Bentley said the investigation turned to Lattin because after FOX4 first broke the story.
“We had initial video when the officers took the report and then when we saw your story on Channel 4. When we looked at those two videos, there were some differences in those and that led us to take the investigation into a different direction,” Bentley said.
Bentley said when they took the report there was no damage to the inside of the truck. But when FOX4 showed up, Lattin showed that the glove box was ripped off and the seats slashed.
Lattin denies the charges by police that he vandalized his own vehicle, telling FOX4, “That’s absolutely not true! Absolutely not true.”
But Lattin’s arrest warrant affidavit said Lattin admitted damaging the inside of his vehicle for insurance reasons.
Once again, Breitbart “News” jumps the gun and accuses the Black Lives Matter movement of criminal activity — then steps on the rake of reality. Right wing journalism for the win!
Oh, and of course, the Breitbart audience responded to the original article with hundreds of blatantly racist comments. A few excerpts:
I’d like to see the culprits under the wheels of his truck. #roadkilllivesmatter

Civilized lives matter. These nasty little hood rats, not so much.
[…]
The only thing black lives matter stands for is being able to commit any crimes or vandalism with impunity…not going to happen
[…]
Why should black lives matter when they do things like this?

ALL NI33ERS MUST DIE.
