"How did you land on a burning cross?" (NBC reporter Chuck) Goudie asked.

"Just it came up to my head one day," Lu said. "I wanted to find something that I could do by myself, like no organization, no friends…”

"I did know about this historical relevance beforehand, but I didn't know the severity, how racially motivated it may seem from what I did," he said. "Cause my protest has nothing to do with race, nothing to with gender.”

Goudie: "Should you have done it some other way?"

Lu: "Yeah, probably."

Lu is a 21-year-old Naperville native.

Previous video showed him playing tennis at Neuqua Valley High School, where he graduated in 2022.

Last week, Lu sent a scripted video to NBC, claiming responsibility for the cross burning but saying he had no affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, apologizing to those who were offended. In the video he also criticized President Donald Trump.

Oh well. Works out well for Brandon (and Pfleger): got a chance for more WE HATE TRUMP outrage.

Kid may have to go down to Pfleger's church and shake hands, apologize, go mow lawns for elderly parishioners? Who knows.
