While I agree, that there is nothing in the article about it: The coincidence of this and the election (which I didn't know about before), at least provides one possible explanation as to how people robbing a store can paint the very owner of said store as racist, especially since they also assaulted him.

If I recall correctly, times were heated after the election and many people (especially on the left) were pretty outraged at the prospect of living in a more racist America for 4 years.

Other than that, you are right: Facts people, stick to the facts.
