“I never really knew someone could hate you just by looking at you. They didn’t know me. I didn’t know them. I was just driving my car and minding my own business.”
I hope they find the racists that burned Althea Bernstein. https://t.co/woQQlJsZoR

This is Althea Bernstein. She’s 18 yrs old & biracial. Yesterday, 4 cowards threw lighter fluid on her face and set her skin on fire. How many incidents like this will it take for the rest of the country to step up and join this fight? We’re done being silent.#BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/rfpmNSEbp6

Trump has his hate-filled "us vs. them" kkk rally in Wisconsin, then four white terrorists set Althea Bernstein on fire in her car because she was black.

Let’s review the facts of the case to see if we can figure out who the monsters were that did this.
Madison 365: An 18-year-old Black woman says she was attacked with lighter fluid and flame early Wednesday morning by white men yelling racial slurs. She sustained second- and third-degree burns. Althea Bernstein works as an EMT while studying to be a paramedic and firefighter. She says she was on her way to her brother’s house at around 1 am Wednesday when she reached a stoplight on Gorham Street near State Street in downtown Madison. She doesn’t remember for sure which intersection it was.
“I was listening to some music at a stoplight and then all of a sudden I heard someone yell the N-word really loud,” she said in an interview Wednesday. “I turned my head to look and somebody’s throwing lighter fluid on me. And then they threw a lighter at me, and my neck caught on fire and I tried to put it out, but I brushed it up onto my face. I got it out and then I just blasted through the red light … I just felt like I needed to get away. So I drove through the red light and just kept driving until I got to my brother and Middleton.”
A police incident report says the assailants used a spray bottle to spray lighter fluid on her face.
So let me get this straight. She was just driving along and she came to a stop light at an intersection, but she doesn’t know what intersection that was. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere a white guy starts calling her the n word, before using a spray bottle to spray light fluid on her face, and then lit her face on fire by “throwing a lighter” at her. Because I know when I want to light something on fire I throw the lighter, rather than lighting it. Evidently in Wisconsin the lighters you purchase there don’t require you to hold onto the fuel button in order to maintain the flame. You can just throw lighters at people and the flame magically doesn’t go out.
Makes sense. Did she get a good look at the guy who did it?
She said she’s reasonably certain it was four white men who “looked like classic Wisconsin frat boys … Two of them were wearing all black, and then the other two were wearing jeans and a floral shirt,” she said. She said the way they walked made her think they were intoxicated.
Oh, there’s four of them now, even thought she said one guy did it earlier. And of course they looked like the stereotypical white antagonists in every Lifetime movie ever. These four Wisconsin frat boys, two of who were wearing the same exact jeans and floral shirt outfit, just happened to be lying in wait at that exact intersection, which she doesn’t remember. Their big plan was to wait for the first car they saw with an open window and a black person inside, bust out their lighter fluid spray bottle, and throw a lighter at her, causing her face to ignite.
She said she was aware that protests had been happening, but wasn’t participating. Protests following the arrest of Yeshua Musa were just winding down at around 1 am Wednesday.
Protests for Yeshua Musa? What did he do to get arrested?
Oh, I see. He went inside a restaurant with a megaphone and a bat calling customers racist, lecturing people that Jesus’ real name was Horace, swearing like a trucker, dropping n bombs, and announcing that “I’m disturbing the shit out of this restaurant and I am carrying a bat.”
Can’t believe he got arrested. If black Negan can’t invade privately owned restaurants then it must be systemic racism’s fault.
In recent weeks, far-right counter-protesters have attended and disrupted Black Lives Matter protests wearing Hawaiian-style floral shirts.
Oh OK. So the guys in the Hawaiian shirts fit the profile of “far right counter protesters.” Must be white nationalists then.
So where did she go after she got her face burnt at a stoplight?
Bernstein said she was able to drive to her brother’s and back home without significant pain because she was in shock — something she sees in other people regularly.
“I’ve had patients in shock and I know what shock is based on the textbook,” she said. “It’s so incapacitating, you don’t even realize what’s going on. My brain still got me home and my brain still got me to call my mom. I just remember my face was bleeding.”
Bernstein said her mother told her to call their health care provider, and the nurses on the line there told her she should call an ambulance.
“They were just like, ‘Wait a minute. Will you say that again? What’s happening?’ I was like, yeah, I got a little toasted,” she said.
She opted to drive herself to the UW Hospital emergency department rather than call for an ambulance as the nurses had suggested. Once there, she had to go through a decontamination routine to get the lighter fluid off her skin, as it was continuing to burn her.
So she drove to her brother’s house, then to her mother’s house, and finally she called the hospital and they told her to call an ambulance but she drover herself there instead? OK.
“There was this guy and he washed my hair and scrubbed my back. And I was like, ‘Okay, this is not that bad. I’m going to have to come here more often for a shower,’” she said.
Glad to see she was so laid back and jovial after such a horrific event.
Did she call the cops?
Bernstein said she was advised not to contact police right away “because I was high as a kite” on pain medication. She finally got home at around 6:00 Wednesday morning and called police later in the day. She said she was told they wouldn’t be able to take a statement because they were too busy preparing for protests, but that they would investigate.
Yea I can picture that happening. She told the nurses that four white nationalists literally lit her on fire and they were like, “don’t call the cops.” And neither did they. Finally when she did call later on to report this horrific hate crime the cops told her that they couldn’t help her yet because they were too busy planning their counter attack on BLM protesters. Ya got that? The entire police force in a city of 258K people was too busy to help the victim of a serious hate crime during a time of heightened racial tensions.
Luckily she’s forgiven her attackers and pitched BLM.
She struck a forgiving tone for the men who attacked her.
“I think everyone deserves a chance to improve. I hope they feel bad and make a change,” she said. “I’m glad it was me, and not someone like a pregnant woman, or a child, or someone who doesn’t have the health care that I do or the support system that I do.”
Rather than donate to support her directly, she said she wants people to “sign the petitions. Support the movement. Support Black lives.”
What are the odds that this random woman they decided to attack while waiting at the stoplight would be an active BLM protester? Very brave and compassionate of her to forgive the monsters who did this to her as well.
Luckily for her the media is printing her story as fact, because no one has ever made up a hate crime for attention before. GMA had her on to discuss the horrific event today.

Interesting how the burns all happened in isolated places, and it never spread to her hair or eye brows.
Thots and shares.
Anyway, I’m glad the world is taking notice of this horrific attack and the police are using their full resources to find out who did this, as soon as they find out what intersection it took place at. When the white frat boys are found they will be arrested and charged, as they should be. Now it would be great if this white Macy’s victim, who was attacked and viciously beaten by a Michigan man as he begged for mercy, would be brought to justice too.
It’s been 10 days since this Macy’s employee was brutally assaulted. The prosecutor @dsleyton still has not filed charges. He said that he’s deciding whether to charge or not. He’s actually considering not filing charges for what you see here.
— Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) June 24, 2020
They know his name and the attack was on video. His assailant made up a lie that he was called the n word, and Macy’s investigated that and found out that it was bullshit. So a black guy beat the shit out of a white guy for no reason and then slandered him, which would make this a slam dunk case. Except the prosecutor isn’t charging him.
.@dsleyton received a warrant request today, but says he needs additional info from other witnesses before pursuing charges. He’ll also be watching the in-store video footage — but that doesn’t have audio.#MacysAttack #Macys #FlintTownship

Criminal cases must be fully investigated before a prosecutor considers charges. Justice demands it. @PAAM_83 @ndaajustice https://t.co/8ezBQef4Nj

I for one am shocked that the elected democrat who regularly shares anti-Trump stuff on Twitter needs additional info. It’s not like the whole thing was caught on tape or anything. Maybe if the Macy’s employee was a black woman and the attacker was a white man in a Hawaiian shirt he’d have a chance at getting justice.

Those don’t look like burns to me. Usually 2nd and 3rd degree burns bubble and are red. That looks like road rash to me. And your an EMT why the hell wouldn’t you call the police? Why didn’t your brother call the police. Or even your damn mother. If somebody burned my child I’m calling 911 idgaf. This shit is getting sad. Keep crying wolf then when shit really happens nobody’s going to care or believe anybody. And who said anybody wanted to donate or make a GoFundMe for you? We’re you assuming because you made a hate crime people were going to feel bad and pay you? I can’t with people no more.
The celebration of reparations sparkler blew up? But it looked like white supremacy.
i see what’s going on here from a mile away.
dumb bitch wants attention. somehow gets bizarre scabs. says whitey did it. plead to news media. get some type of payout from the city.
right now she’s in phase 1.5, what a fraud. the phase yah i got the media to buy into this garbage, that’s the 1.5 stage.
This is one of those stories that deserves a follow up. Also please give us an update on Felicia Forehead!
I hope they find them and those MAGA hat wearing racists wearing racists with the noose who attacked Jussie
She’s a paid crisis actor . The reason she doesn’t need or want a ‘go fund me’ she’s already been paid alot. To keep the fire burning. Irony. What is playing out in front of all our faces is Agenda 21 or aka 2030 agenda.
The more you look at it, it does look like splash from a Molotov cocktail. Nothing else makes sense. Including her story
She was smoking something while driving and burnt herself. If she really was going to her brothers, she was either buying or selling some there. Her EMT job probably drug tests and she freaked thinking they will test her after seeing the marks. Her story even has a built in excuse for testing positive for opiates now.
dog faced pony soldier
Roses are awful,
Violets are the pits,
Lift up your shirt,
And show us your tits.
Roses are crap,
Violets are shit,
Sit on my face,
And wiggle a bit.
worthless fat pig
White Lives Matter
looks like road rash. guarantee her black ghetto trash boyfriend slammed her face on the pavement or some shit. and because its 2020, she knows she can just say some white dudes did it and everyone will believe her.
Then the truth will all come out like a week from now and no one will give a single fuck, and she wont get in any trouble at all for fabricating the whole thing.
I believe her.
Bernstein, eh?
Every. Single. Time.
Her burns are on the right side of her face, so the guys were on target through the passenger side window/door? Another crock of shit by a halfrican looking for attention !
Mr. Mehoff,
Do you realize that your moniker could be misconstrued as a perverse act? At first I was taken aback, but then I accepted the fact that your ancestors come from a foreign land and foreigners can have funny names.
Damn! Wish I thought of that excuse…
You either like MAGA or you’re a FAGA!
Let’s make some shirts!
You may want to work on that slogan before print.
Probably chucking a molotov cocktail in the CHOP area and her face mask caught on fire
Definition of biracial:
Having two parents, one of which is absent from her life.
There you have it!
Probably got in a fight with some dude she was cheating on her boyfriend with, and had to make up a story
Curling iron burns, maybe?
And that is why I carry a gun.
He might get the first swing but with a ventilation hole in this forehead “all of the air will be out” of any additional ones.
Dead Blacks matter.
Got to cut your losses.
Tote them up. Winner gets a prize.
She wants to get lit up?
Let me grab my Hawaiian shirt and my Old Style hat and head up to that hippie hangout, Madison.
I’ll bring my truck and a 200 foot length of chain and we can go all James Byrd Jr. on your ass Latisha.
But as you are being worn down on the pavement to a nub, like a cheap school pencil eraser, I don’t want to hear any pig squeals out of your harlequin ass.
In. Most of the pics, it looks like the burns are on the left side of her face. But on te pic of her lying down, it appears to be on her right.
The nerve of these bitches to make shit up for personal gain.
This bitch is clearly lying, and also how ironic is it she has a Jewish last name with BERN in the front and she fakes to burn herself? ….. The bitch smoked too much meth and was scratching her face off… those aren’t burn marks.
I’m throwing the boyfriend / domestic abuse flag on this one.
And she can buy one here on Turtle Boy!
At 1:00 AM, how easy would it be to tell that she was black? Especially when she’s in a car and they’re outside on foot?
I didn’t know Nigerian bodybuilders had such good eyesight.
The question I have about the faggot in Macy’s that got the beatdown from the dindu with his pants pulled down below his ass is : Why was the fag saying “I’m sorry”? Why apologize if you didn’t do anything wrong?
seriously…DO SOMETHING!! Take his knees out, bite his fucking leg so that you can get up. You are in a street fight at that point!!! WTF ???
The dindu in Macy’s in Michigan has been arrested & has been charged with felony assault. He could get 10 years. We all know that will never happen but one can dream.
“There was this guy and he washed my hair and scrubbed my back. And I was like, ‘Okay, this is not that bad. I’m going to have to come here more often for a shower,’” she said.
It puts the lotion on its skin.
After covering her with the lighter fluid, and using the N word, one of the white men threw her a pair of safety goggles so her eyes wouldn’t be harmed.
THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY
It was the extra spicy popeye’s chicken sandwich that caused the burns. This fat shit was inhaling her third one when it slipped out of her paws and she mashed it on her face instead.
LOLz! Not even a convincing injury. Definitely not a burn, let alone 3rd degree. Fake crime and self inflicted. Or she was attacked by Antifa and her BLM comrades for not being black enough or because she’s an EMT and wouldn’t steal drugs for them.
I have been burnt many times it’s a hazard of my career. Those are not burns not even 1st degree. Looks like she took some sand paper and tried too sand the white out so she could try and fit in better with her black friends.
Ask her what type of lighter it was, if it was thrown at her she should still have it with finger prints all over it. if she says it’s a bic lighter shes fibbinnnn. only a zippo lighter can and will stay lit and trust me, no one is parting ways with a 30 to 40 dollar lighter, I dont care how racist you are it’s just not happening.
I love how the media says something is alleged when its clearly on video. what’s alleged about it? It’s not alleged when there is dafinative proof, ya fucking goons.
I hope they all drop dead of covidaids. something we wouldn’t know if they did. They are telling people not to ask people who have contacted covidaids if they have been protesting. Gee I wonder why, maybe it changes their narrative or something?
The zippo lighter, talk to a veteran from Vietnam and he’ll tell you about the many uses of these lighters. Didn’t cost 30, 40 dollars then by the ones we hung onto from there are priceless to us. welcome home.
I still have my Dad’s Zippo lighter from when he was in Vietnam with USAF, 67-68.
This injury corresponds with the attempted throwing of Molotov cocktails by an extremely nonathletic fat person.
Call for MYCUNT…Call for MYCUNT. MYCUNT HERE!!?? He-rooooww?
If she is biracial maybe they were trying to exorcise the white out of her.
Looks like road rash to me. That bloated moesha was probably chasing down the ice cream truck and took a face plant.
Spooks can’t afford ice cream fat Cunt
Who you callin’ spook, peckerwood??
Hey, I don’t want to get into a fight with no weed addicts
certainly wasn’t ‘exercise’ !
Hey I drop my lighter if anyone finds it be careful it stays litt
Why is it almost ALWAYS Biracial losers who fake hate crimes????
Seriously …. Jesse Smollet Biracial, Bubba Wallace Biracial (well Bubba didn’t really fake it but if I saw Bubba Wallace walking down the street I would assume he was a White guy with a tan) and now this lying twat……
And don’t forget Obama. He be half cracker.
Just another zebra making shot up. Oh I almost forgot another fat count with no job
I think she fell asleep face down in a bowl of chili.
well, the blacks screamed for attention and now they got it. it will be happening more and more since they are saying they will destroy everything until they get their way. lock and load. when it all comes down, the agitators will be hunted down and left for the street sweepers. when you scream for attention you will get it. whether it be positive or negative attention. you screamed for it , so take it.
See how many of these alleged victims are mostly white? And is anyone else thinking this mob can just do indefinite, rolling protests now because they fuck with the law until they get arrested. Then their “homies” can stage new protests for the ones who got arrested.
She forgot the most important part they were wearing MAGA hats
This porker most likely actually had a Subway sandwich on her.
