SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man who reported someone beat him and carved a homophobic slur into his arm staged the attacks, authorities said Tuesday.

Millard County Sheriff Robert Dekker said Rick Jones, 21, could face charges after officers investigating the series of reported attacks found inconsistencies in the evidence. The Delta man eventually acknowledged faking the harassment, Dekker said.

An attorney for Jones said the reports were a cry for help initially directed toward people close to him, and Jones didn’t realize how much attention they would get.

Awful lot of self hatred among homosexuals.

Has there ever been a bona fide hate crime against a gay? And don’t say Matthew Shepherd.

As we know, Matthew Shepherd was murdered by his gay drug dealer that he sometimes exchanged sex for drugs with.

Well done Obama, you have created division between north and south, blacks and whites, illegals and legal, homosexuals and Christians.

The whole country is a mess and against each other, so much for your no red or blue states speech .

[manc]

these people are mentally sick and need help and yet the country is happy about it because we have so many ignorant, stupid, dumb, brainless people who listen to the media and you.
