Another day, another left-wing hate hoax crime.

Michigan – Nikki Joly, a biological woman who transitioned into a man, is accused of burning down ‘his’ own home, killing 5 pets in a hate hoax crime.

Joly’s home burned down in 2017 and the FBI investigated it as a hate crime because Joly was a transgender man and gay rights activist in a conservative town and reportedly received threats over ‘his’ activism.

It turns out Nikki Joly was frustrated that the ‘Jackson Pride Parade’ and festival held just days before the home was set ablaze, hadn’t received more attention or protests.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.

Detroit News reported:

 When the home of Nikki Joly burned down in 2017, killing five pets, the FBI investigated it as a hate crime.

In the prior six months, he helped open the city’s first gay community center, organized the first gay festival and, after 18 years of failed attempts, helped lead a bruising battle for an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against gays.

For his efforts, a local paper named him the Citizen of the Year.

Authorities later determined the fire was intentionally set, but the person they arrested came as a shock to both supporters and opponents of the gay rights movement. It was the citizen of the year — Nikki Joly.

Meanwhile, a police investigative report suggests a possible reason for the fire.

Two people who worked with Joly at St. Johns United Church of Christ, where the Jackson Pride Center was located, said he had been frustrated the controversy over gay rights had died down with the passage of the nondiscrimination law, according to the report.

The church officials, Barbara Shelton and Bobby James, when asked by police about a possible motive for the fire, said Joly was disappointed the Jackson Pride Parade and Festival, held five days before the blaze, hadn’t received more attention or protests.

Nikki Joly’s defense attorney Daniel Barnett of Grand Rapids, disputed the notion that his client set ‘his’ own house on fire and killed 5 pets because of lack of media coverage of his LGBTQ activism.

“It doesn’t make sense,” he said. “He was citizen of the year. There was plenty of media coverage already before the fire.”

A hearing to file motions is scheduled for March 8th in Jackson County Circuit Court, reported Detroit News.

Another hate hoax crime concocted by a deranged leftist  — and this time the liberal resorted to killing ‘his’ own pets in order to make conservatives look evil.

Meanwhile Trump supporters are being punched, harassed, stalked, deplatformed, threatened and even having guns pulled on them by evil leftists for wearing MAGA hats.
