A man is going to prison for five years for smashing a Black teen's face with a bike chain at a beach, allegedly telling the boy "Black lives don't matter," before knocking his teeth out — a hate crime, federal officials said.

Lee Mouat, 43, of Newport, Michigan, admitted to his actions in March, pleading guilty to willfully causing bodily injury to an 18-year-old because of the teen's race.

Mouat later admitted that he repeatedly hurled racial slurs at the group and said that Black people had no right to use the public beach. Then he struck the teen in the face with a bike lock, knocking out several of his teeth, cutting his face and mouth, and fracturing his jaw. He also admitted to trying to strike another Black teen with the bike lock but missing.

The defendant brutally attacked teenagers at a public beach because these young people are Black,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “Hate-fueled violent crimes like this have no place in our communities. Protecting Americans from hate crimes is a top priority of the Justice Department, and we will use every tool available to bring perpetrators to justice.”

snip--"Mouat then struck Freelon in the face with the lock, knocking out three teeth and causing extensive lacerations to his face and jaw.

When Freelon fell to the ground, Mouat kicked him in the face until he lost consciousness.

He attempted to use the bike lock to attack another one of the teens while using racial slurs to taunt him into fighting back, but was stopped by the arrival of police, who had been called to respond to the attack by one of Mouat's daughters and a bystander."

(his own kid called cops on his drunk ass)

snip-"Following media coverage of the attack, a Michigan dentist reached out to Freelon and offered to provide him with $15,000 worth of free dental care to replace the missing teeth and repair the oral damage.

Prior to tooth implant surgery, the doctor donated his services to give the teenager temporary teeth the morning of his high school graduation, which took place five days after the attack, so that he could attend the ceremony."

Good on the dentist.

3. I guess I can assume he expressed no remorse...

I think he should have gotten 10 years, but who knows how well he will fare against prison gangs. They aren't all white supremacists...

[hatrack]

6. Sad picture! Is the widdle wacist gonna cwy now?

Asshole.

[luckone]

8. Of course he is going to cry and be the victim now that he has been arrested . Typical BS

In his pea brain he wouldn’t be in jail if it wasn’t for the teen being black at the beach

7. Fucking fucker...

Five years is not long enough.

[EYESORE 9001]

9. My thoughts exactly

Five years doesn’t seem near enough, considering the crime.

10. Why do White Supremacists always have those nasty scruffy riciculous beards?

[hatrack]

13. Because you can't have a scrotum without a fringe!

18. It's called "hypermasculinity."

It's men attempting to make themselves more masculine however they can, even doing cheesy things like growing beards and buying big guns.

The term was mentioned several times during a documentary about the show "Duck Dynasty." (I was stuck in a hotel room and needed some sleepy TV.)

That show exemplified the concept. Everything they did was an attempt to be bigger, badder men. The humor scripted into the show largely came from them failing at it. Then the daddy character comes around and shows them how to do it right.

20. The comic book "Preacher" figured it out.

12. 10 years + seems more fitting for this asshole! n/t

[Talitha]

14. Some may disagree with me on this, but

I'd love to have an 'Eye-For-An-Eye' law for hate crimes.
"Do unto others" and all that, you know?

[electric_blue68]

21. It's a very temping thought. nt

[MissMillie]

15. He won't be happy. Prison not segregated either (n/t)

.

[LakeArenal]

19. Oh, he'll fit right in to prison culture.

Tough guy. I doubt five years will rehabilitate him.

[Marrah_Goodman]

16. Not enough time

[dalton99a]

17. No state charges?

[electric_blue68]

22. I hadn't heard about this one! 😧

Arrrrggg. 😠🤬🤬🤬😭
Makes me so furious....the
level of arrogant Malevolence of this "man".

Five years is not enough! Ten + !


Thrice Blessings on the dentist! 💖

Plus the fact he came up with the idea to make
temporary teeth so he could attend his graduation!

[smirkymonkey]

23. Scumbag. Why do they all look the same?

Lock him up for the rest of his miserable, pointless life. People like this never change and will never make a positive contribution to society.

[mountain grammy]

25. I think 10 years is more appropriate

and a fine to pay for restoration of this teenager's face plus a lot of pain and suffering.
