YouTube star Calum McSwiggan claims he was assaulted by three men outside of a gay bar in West Hollywood, Calif., early Monday morning. But the alleged hate crime may be fabricated, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department says in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

In an Instagram caption posted on Tuesday, McSwiggan claims that while out at a gay club, he was separated from his friends and “beaten up by three guys” who left him with three broken teeth and six stitches in his forehead. […]

The Sheriff’s Department, however, says that officers responded to McSwiggan’s report early Monday morning but were “unable to substantiate the assault” and McSwiggan “had no visible injuries.” He was arrested at the scene when “deputies observed him vandalizing a car” on Santa Monica Boulevard, according to the department's statement.

McSwiggan was booked at approximately 2:30 a.m. and placed into a cell alone at the West Hollywood Station, where he was later observed “injuring himself with the handle and receiver to a payphone inside the cell.” …

Problem with all of these hoaxy fauxie gay and rape and racist hate crimes which seem to come out weekly, is conservatives are far beyond the “cried wolf” phase are instantaneously dismissive and immediately skeptical, but we do not matter because we are mean racist sexist homophobes. The progressives and the media will immediately play the story and wail and gnash their teeth and send millions of dollars, and when it finally comes out that it was yet another in an endless stream of hoaxes will just go back into cricket mode, since it was the seriousness of the charge, and real crimes like this happen each and every day, so it was good because it raised awareness

No, that's what personal security guards are for. Otherwise, you're on your own. The authorities are there to take your statement and call you if they eventually need a witness.

"Officer, I was beaten up by three guys who left me with three broken teeth and six stitches in my forehead."

"Sir, you have no visible injuries.”

"I got better."

We don't need to know where he was trying to stick that handle, do we?

Sorry, but the police rarely prevent crimes. They react to and investigate crimes (if reasonably possible).

Sounds more like someone drew a picture of penis on a sidewalk and he tried to go down on it.

Once again a fake attack on self, then claiming to be victim of “hate crime”. It has gotten to a point where few will believe the claim, true or not.

There’s a web site,
Google fake hate crimes.

But they don’t have the famous one, Mathew shepard. He was killed by his gay lover drug dealer.
