Utah Gay Hate Crime Was a Hoax


Source: The Daily Beast/GaySaltLake.com

The Utah man who claimed in April that he was robbed twice by bigots who force-fed him bleach and carved “Die Fag” into his arms now says he made everything up. Rick Jones, who co-owns his family’s Delta, Utah, pizzeria told authorities he was bluffing when he said robbers attacked him before tossing a Molotov cocktail into his bedroom. The Millard County Sheriff’s Department said it may now press charges against the 21-year-old man for the fake report after inconsistencies were discovered. Jones’s lawyer, Brett Tollman, said his client has been seeking medical treatment and acknowledged that the attack tale spiraled out of control once it received national attention.

4. Plus the fact that an actual attack might not be believed because of his lie.

All the racist attacks, all the gay attacks, all the right-wing hate crimes... they all come down to this.

There is no huge Right Wing hate groups targeting people. It's all leftists pulling off hoaxes.

6. I sensed it was fake when I read about it on Google news.

Not sure why, just something seemed off.

Bull-****ing-Shit. You jumped on the hate "righty" bandwagon with the rest of the lowlife scum-sucking retards.

The bandwagon was probably full and he just hung on the side like one of those trains in Indian.
