Year in Review: 17 campus hate crimes that turned out to be hoaxes in 2017
The College Fix ^ | 12/26/17 | Amanda Tidwell

Posted on 12/26/2017 11:48:11 AM PST by x1stcav

Over the last year, it seems as if more campus hate crimes turned out to be hoaxes than legitimate acts of hate. Schools tended to be fertile ground for overzealous students looking to prove there is hate where none exists. These 17 examples show 2017 continued to be a year in which hate-crime hoaxes are an epidemic with no end in sight.

Some anecdotes are fallout from post-election antics spawned in late November 2016 in the wake of the Donald Trump presidency. The rest originated in apparent desperate attempts to push a progressive narrative.

really weird why anyone would fake being a victim of a hate crime
(especially when it is so easy to be a real one, alas!)

But police said that because the vandal, who is black, admitted he was behind the graffiti and was “genuinely remorseful” it would “not be in the best interests” of the community to charge him.

Start charging these pinheads, and watch the quantify of such incidents plummet. As it stands, these are no-lose incidents for most of the perps.

Article dismisses the fact basically all of the reported hate crimes that made news were also faked by the victim who was really the perpetrator.

They should all be fined and have to do felony jail time. Double the sentences actual criminals would have been able to receive. Only way to stopthis crap from occurring.

These crimes are lies and they ruin innocent people, they stir up hostility between groups based on lies, they make a mockery of the justice system as a ignorant tool for their agenda, and undermine everyones faith in the justice system and political system that tries to make policy based on phony incidents. The penalties need to be far more severe.

Because bearing false witness is a high sacrament of the leftist religion. They get brownie points for it.

A good suggestion for Trump and Congress. Amend the federal "hate crimes" statute to make faking such crimes a level higher than such a crime would have been.

We'd likely see zero "hate crimes" for years.

If the media did its job, it would be plastering this all over the headlines. Instead, it deliberately and intentionally suppressed it.

All crime is hate crime.

Don’t create hate crime privilege.

Like the old saying goes, Black Lies don’t seem to Matter. Hate crimes of black on white exceed more than a 100 but attacks on whitey are considered politically correct and they meet the diversity standards.

It is not within the preview or authority of the police chief to determine what is or is not in the best interest of the community or who should be charged. That is up to the prosecutor.

Is it in the best interests of the community to have all these fake hate crimes causing unrest between the races? NO.

17 is probably a fraction of what occurred out there.

A useful resource: Fake Hate Crimes

At Reddit. Compiled by one of the guys from /The_Donald. Useful. I bet more than 17 are documented there at colleges in 2017.

Apparently that is not the case, otherwise, there wouldn't be all these hoaxes.

A very good question to ask right now is this, how many of these faux ‘crimes’ are STILL listed on the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) hate crime listing that the MSM always uses as a prime source of ‘fact’? It has been admitted by the SPLC themselves that entries are not automatically removed when proven false.

When one wants to claim victim-hood, but the eeeeevil racists won’t do anything racist, one has to do some ad lib work - else the whole meme falls apart.
