Chicago Man it With Hate Crime Rap

A Chicago man has been hit with a felony hate crime for berating a woman who was wearing a tee shirt depicting the Puerto Rican flag.    

Sixty-two year old Timothy Trybus faces two counts of felony hate crime for harassing Mia Irizarry last month in the Caldwell Woods Forest Preserve on Chicago's North Side.  

Trybus told Irizarry she should not be wearing it in the United States.  Trybus questioned whether Irizzary was a U.S. citizen.  

Trybus apparently didn't know Puerto Rican citizens are automatically U.S. citizens.  A side note to this story, a park officer who failed to come to Irizarry's aid at the time of the incident has resigned amid massive public outcry.
