Toronto police’s hate crime unit has charged a 25-year-old woman with 'Mischief interfere with the Enjoyment of Property', after the woman allegedly vandalized a Starbucks coffee shop, according to a release from the Candian Unit 13 division earlier this week. 

While police may have some difficulty in proving beyond a reasonable doubt that a suspect is guilty, the suspect Skigh Johnson has alleviated the burden by bragging about her crime on social media. 

@skighjohnson They wanna silence me. They’re more mad about me taping paper to a multi million dollar company and not mad that the company funds weapons used in the genocide. Absolutely INSANE. To get this reaction from the pro isreali community! #fy #fyp #freepalestine #iwontbesilenced #defamation #palestine #isrealifakenews ♬ suono originale - speed audios

In the self-recorded video, Johnson smiled as she said “I have been doxxed online because I support Palestine. Yes, last night did I commit what you may think is a crime? Maybe…but it’s not a crime to me, I am fighting for justice. 

“I vandalized a Starbucks beside me and then I posed for the camera. I don’t need to cover my face, I’m not a criminal, I’m fighting for peace. 

“And then I wake up in the morning, mind you the cops were called on me cause of some f****** little Jewish boy and his girlfriend pulled up and he was like “What do you think that’s going to do?” and I was like: “I don’t know but we’re going to see, right?

“And then, 24 hours later almost, I’m doxxed online- whatever that means. I’m actually going to have to google that word really soon.
