Mayor Johnson condemned the suspect accused in a cross-burning incident, saying he “wholeheartedly reject[s]” the hateful symbolism and intimidation associated with the act. For nearly a week, Chicago police and the FBI have been trying to identify the man who was suspected of setting up the cross and torching it. NBC 5 Investigates has identified a 21-year-old college senior who said he is the person in the photo released by police and who described what he did and why. The young shirtless man running from a burning cross in Grant Park had been a nameless person of interest in a Chicago police arson investigation and subject of a possible FBI hate crime case. NBC 5 Investigates has since interviewed the man who admits to the cross burning. University of Illinois Chicago senior Merlin Lu said he knew the implications of a burning cross and had placed a MAGA hat atop the cross, explaining his motivation was to protest Trump administration injustice - not something racist. #mayorjohn...
