The complainant, Lindsay-Ryan did not respond to multiple requests for a copy of the police report and an update on the investigation. She supports the ideologies which correlate with fake hate crime reports:
Ryan said the vandalism “is a result of white supremacy colluding with misogyny and homophobia to inflict the most harm possible.”
“Violent situations fueled by white supremacist rage and anxiety that might have felt far away, such as last week’s attack by insurrectionists of the US Capitol Building, continue to hit closer to home...”
Police have closed the investigation.
