WYFF NEWS FOUR TO SIX NOW STARTS MAN ACCUSED OF THREATENING STATE COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS. I DON'T KNOW THIS TYPE OF HATE STILL EXISTS IN 2024. IT'S VERY SAD. ACTIVISTS CALL ON SOUTH CAROLINA LEADERS TO PASS HATE CRIMINAL BILL. My name is TANIQUA PENIX, Greenville County, with details on death threats. SHE SAYS SHE GOT LEONA'S RIGHT OF CONSCIENCE NINE YEARS LATER, AND DEPUTIES ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AFTER THE ONE-YEAR-OLD CHILD DISAPPEARED FROM AN IN-STATE APARTMENT. Increase the heat. BUT DOWN THE HUMIDITY. UPCOMING I will show you the new impacts of the weekend on WYFF NEWS 4-6 hours telling the story through the eyes of a few people, I think that makes it much more relatable. REMEMBERING THE SACRIFICES OF JOURNEY 80 YEARS LATER, STATE MUSEUM SHARE LOCAL STORIES IN NEW EXHIBITION. FIRST, AT 6 A.M., A STATE MAN WAS ARRESTED AFTER DEPUTIES SAY HE MADE ONLINE THREATS AGAINST A LOCAL ACTIVIST. THIS ACTIVIST IS NOW CALLING ON STATE LEADERS TO PASS A HATE CRIMES LAW. OUR TANIQUA PENNIX JOINS US LIVE IN GREENVILLE WITH DETAILS. Activist Tracy Fant held a press conference here today detailing these threats. And in my hands is a warrant for Christopher Campbell's arrest. NOW THE ANDERSON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAY THEY ARRESTED CAMPBELL ON WEDNESDAY. MEMBERS SAY HE IS CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL COMMUNICATION. THE WARRANT SAYS CAMPBELL DID NOT MAKE THREATS ON FACEBOOK LIVE, QUOTE, CUT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND CORNER OF TRACY FANT'S BODY IN THE VIDEO, CAMPBELL SAYS HE HAS SUPPORT FROM THE KKK AND PROUD BOYS AND HAS A GROUP OF OVER 80 PEOPLE READY AND READY TO HAVE THE QUOTE OF FANT AND FREEDOM FIGHTER DOCTOR UA THOMPSON, EXECUTED ON SITE. IT'S VERY HEARTWEARING THAT SOMEONE WITH THIS TYPE OF HATE IN HIS HEART ACTUALLY MADE A VIDEO AND THREATENED TO NOT JUST CUT MY THROAT, QUARTER ME, DO ALL TYPES OF INHUMAN THINGS TO ME. It’s put me in a place where I’m watching my back at all times,” Vance said. SHE'S SURPRISED THAT THIS LEVEL OF HATE STILL EXISTS IN 2024, BUT SAYS THAT'S ONE REASON WHY A HATE CRIMES BILL IS NEEDED.
