🚨 THE HELENA INCIDENT: DEBUNKING THE RUMORS 🚨 PLEASE CORRECT AND COMMUNITY NOTE ALL MISINFORMATION BEING CIRCULATED. USE THIS POST AS REFERENCE ⚠️A viral story is circulating about a 21-year-old’s arrest in Montana, but you aren’t getting the whole story. Let’s separate the internet outrage from the official court records. ​❌ THE MYTH❌️ A 21-year-old is facing felony hate crime charges solely because he told an Indian woman to "go back to her country" (protected free speech). ​✅️ THE FACTS: What the court documents actually say: *Victim is a man of Indian descent (head covering), not a woman. *Collins admitted he was angry after drinking and shouted “go back to his own country.” *He explicitly denies any physical contact. *Affidavit alleges a two-handed shove. That allegation is what supplies the “bodily injury or reasonable apprehension” element required by the felony statute. *Speech alone does not violate 45-5-221. The First Amendment protects the words ⚠️ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: Because Jax denies physical contact and the victim claims he was shoved, the charge currently rests on "probable cause" (the victim's word). ​For a felony conviction, prosecutors must prove physical contact beyond a reasonable doubt. Investigtors will now hunt for: *CCTV/Surveillance camera footage from downtown businesses. ​*Unbiased eyewitnesses. ​*Police body-cam & 911 call audio. 🚨THERE WAS ​NO PHYSICAL PROOF. ⚖️At trial, a pure "he said, he said" is not enough, the law heavily favors the defendant.
