Imagine that, another phony hate crime.
A Utah man who alleged assailants carved homophobic slurs into his arms, robbed his pizza restaurant and firebombed his house has admitted faking the attacks, authorities said.
Now the question is whether Rick Jones, 22, of Delta will be prosecuted for reporting false crimes, Millard County Sheriff Robert Dekker told CNN affiliate KSL.
“The investigation has come to an end today with the admission of Richard (Rick) L. Jones Jr. to having staged all of the incidents,” the Sheriff’s Office and County Attorney’s office said in a Tuesday statement.
Dekker said he didn’t know why Jones staged the crimes. Jones’ lawyer, Brett Tolman, told KSL that Jones asked him to contact the Sheriff’s Office and call off the investigation.
They don’t know why? Um, maybe he has an agenda?
“At this point we are working with investigators and with the community at trying to point out and recognize that what this really amounts to is a very serious cry for help by an individual … who is gay and is in need of mental health treatment, which he is getting,” Tolman said. “I don’t think it was an intention on the part of our client to do anything criminal.”
People who donated money for Jones will be reimbursed, he said, noting that the fundraisers were not Jones’ idea.
In a story that ran on CNN.com in June, Jones said he was first attacked outside his family-owned pizza restaurant and woke up with the words “die” carved into one arm and the word “f*g” in the other. The restaurant was robbed twice and homophobic slurs were painted on the eatery and the home he shares with his parents, he said.
Back when this bulls**t story was concocted a headline screamed They Carved ‘Die Fag’ Into His Arms at the Daily Beast. Curiously, the author is ignoring the latest developments. Funny, that.
One has to read the Daily Beast article. It’s very funny in hindsight.

If you don’t want to give them the hits the nutshell version is that the kid basically harassed his own family and kept stealing from the family business using the fag attacks on himself as cover.
The family was completely clueless.
Fake hate crimes. Fake flash points.
The moron should be ordered to pay $135,000 to the bakers in Oregon.
Does any criminal actually carve words into people’s skin, that claim just seems like a flag for bs.
People who file a false report of crime should see prison time. A number of illegal aliens, for example, have been using claims to being victim as a way to stay here and keep getting welfare.
These bogus anti-homosexual crimes are all about narcissism.
Delta UT. Out in the west desert. The school mascot is the Jackrabbit. The people are as quiet and peaceful as their surroundings.
Not where you’d expect a crime of intolerance.
Further proof it's all about the LOOK AT MEEEE! attention cravings.
You know what? I’d like to see some kind of script or program run throughout the Internet to change the word “gay” to “homosexual.” It’s time to stop referring to the perverted as “gay.” They are homosexuals, pure and simple.
