Police in Michigan fail to take action against gay hate protest group
Police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, have said they would not be charging a group of Bible-preaching protesters who threatened to rape a woman at a gay event because no one came forward with a “specific complaint”.
The protesters - allegedly a Christian black supremacist group called the Black Hebrew Israelites – were filmed shouting at a woman celebrating at Grand Rapids’ inaugural Gay Day celebration.
The event was organised by the human rights group Tolerance, Equality and Awareness Movement (TEAM) to showcase the city’s diversity.
In the protest, which was filmed and posted on YouTube, one protester was heard to say: “Back in the day there was no free power, there was no going to the mall. There was, ‘sit your ass in this house until I bring my ass home.”
Another added: “And if your ass get to going out there like you said, guess what? You get raped. And that’s what’s going to happen to you . . . do you understand?”
