Instagram rap tribute to dead 13yo boy lands UK teen in court for ‘hate crime’

A photo posted to social media to remember a boy killed in a tragic car crash has seen a UK teen charged with a hate crime, because the caption quoted lyrics from rapper Snap Dogg. Russell argued that the use of the lyrics was not offensive, but was handed a community order. Prosecutors told the court that her sentence was increased from a fine to a community order because “it was a hate crime.”
