Police uncover hate hoax in San Diego (Update to thread I posted last night)
Hot Air ^ | June 22, 2023 | John Sexton

Posted on 06/22/2023 1:15:39 PM PDT by Morgana

Credit to Andy Ngo who posted the details of this story on Twitter today. It started earlier this week with what appeared to be a serious crime. A 39-year-old man in San Diego named Scott Rowin said he was harassed and then set on fire by a couple of men who targeted him because he is gay.

Last Monday night, Rowin says stopped by The Loft on Fifth Avenue and inquired about a job. He left past 8 p.m. and headed south, towards his downtown apartment, intending to call an Uber.

His memory is hazy, but somewhere within a few blocks, he heard what sounded like two people yelling gay slurs.

Rowin says he yelled back and then heard footsteps coming up behind him.

As he turned around, he says he caught a quick glimpse of one of the people, a man in his 20s or 30s. At the same time, he says a liquid was thrown at him, with the consistency of water.

“Immediately after that, I went up like coals on a barbecue. It started off really big,” said Rowin.

Rowin suffered second-degree burns on his side and back, photos of which he shared with news outlets. He said he was absolutely convinced the attack was a hate crime and added that the only people who would be walking around with “flammable liquid” would be someone out to target “the LGBT community.” He filed a police report and said he wanted to raise awareness that “There are still a lot of haters out there.”

Yesterday, I said it was a hoax until proven otherwise

Now, we see that he’s lying faggot, but not a flaming faggot.

Shocking ...

He’ll probably receive a letter of commendation from the mayor and/or city council for showing the potential of hatred toward homosexuals in their city.

A good strategy. Spray painting anti-gay slogans on your garage door is the old hoax. Better to try a new hoax.

He got that part right.

“Rowin suffered second-degree burns on his side and back...”

Well, his friends always said he was a flamer.

I immediately saw this as a hoax and said so on yesterday’s post.

“Better to try a new hoax.”

He probably thought to himself: “nobody would suspect that a person would light themselves on fire!”

“Now, we see that he’s lying faggot, but not a flaming faggot.”

I’m reading Andy Ngo’s twitter right now and trying to figure out what happened.

Seems our Flaming Faggot attacked a pregnant woman so bad that she need to be in hospital. In this attack he then some how ended up with second degree burns.

That woman is a freaking badass to save her baby is all I can say!

No, but the liberal media and liberals will use this as proof of attacks on gays. They will quote this attack for years just like they continue to do with Jessie Smolett

Basically it’s a remake of “The Jussie Smollett Story”, with the bleach replaced with a flammable liquid, and the “Subway” plot point replaced with a job interview.

And Jussie will never see the inside of a jail again, what he was there for maybe 24 hours?

Crazy story gets crazier when read beyond the excerpt.

My first thought was: “How would they know he was a homo? Was he prancing down the sidewalk doing a Judy Garland impression? Did he carry a ‘pride’ sign or a LGBTP+ flag?

And if he really did have ‘second degree burns’.... I bet he jumped into a too-hot shower or spent too long at the beach that afternoon.

This is clearly a hate crime of transexuals against pregnant women.
