Man Charged With Hate Crime Over Burning Cross in Chicago Park

A 21-year-old former university student, Merlin Lu, has been charged with a hate crime after burning a cross in Chicago's Grant Park. Lu claims the act was a protest against the Trump administration rather than an expression of racism.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both the charge of a hate crime and Lu's claim of protest without taking a stance on either. It does not use loaded language or favor one perspective over the other.
