Several large messages were spray-painted on the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility during a late-night protest in support of Chrishaun "CeCe" McDonald, who was sentenced Monday for fatally stabbing a bar patron one year ago.
Leslie Feinberg, an author on transgender issues, was arrested in connection with the graffiti and is now jailed without bail, according to Trans Youth Support Network, the advocacy group spearheading opposition to McDonald's prosecution in the killing of Dean Schmitz, 47. Supporters of McDonald contend that bias toward transgender people and blacks fueled the melee in which Schmitz was killed outside the Schooner Tavern in south Minneapolis

Feinberg has given the following statement:
Many people across the United States and around the world are watching, and history will record what happens on June 4, 2012. CeCe McDonald survived a fascist hate crime; now she's sentenced as she struggles to survive an ongoing state hate crime. As Martin Luther King Jr. reminded: "Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal."
As a white, working-class, Jewish, transgender lesbian revolutionary I will not be silent as this injustice continues! I know from the lessons of histories what is means when the state—in a period of capitalist economic crisis—enacts apartheid passbook laws, bounds up and deports immigrant works, and gives a green light to e white supremacists, fascist attacks on Black peoples—from Sanford, Florida, to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a courtroom in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The prosecutor and the judge are upholding the intent of the infamous white supremacist Dred Scott ruling of 1857.
