A San Diego man claims he was ambushed and set on fire by a group of 'hate-filled' attackers after leaving a restaurant.

Scott Rowin, 39, said he was attacked while walking through the city's Hillcrest neighborhood on June 18 as he was leaving a local restaurant.

Rowin told ABC 10 that two attackers shouted 'f**got' at him prior to rushing up and dousing him with a liquid that had the consistency of water.

'Immediately after that, I went up like coals on a barbecue. It started off really big,' said the man who sustained serious burns in the incident.

He said he believes the attack - which took place in the neighborhood commonly referred to as San Diego's 'Gayborhood' - was targeted and is warning others.

'Nobody walks around with flammable liquid like without an agenda. In my opinion, they were obliviously out there targeting the LGBT community,' he said.

Yes, hoax. Walking around looking for gay men to randomly set in fire? No.

I thought he was a French actor.

Dave Chapelle seemed to think so, and they supported him with their silence. 😀

Tawana Smollett hilarious. This poofter should get Al to incite a riot to raise awareness

[Danie_2023]

So....were the attackers Nigerians?

[Mark17]

And I won’t make any jokes about flaming faggots.

Was he a flaming liberal? 😆😆

ass-less leather chaps

Chaps are, by definition, ass-less. They cover the front and sides of the thighs, and all of the lower legs. Their function is to protect a horseman's legs while riding through chapparal. There's no reason for them to cover the butt, since the horseman is sitting on a saddle ...

[NorthMountain]

Or maybe a liberal flamer?

Rememver Matthew Sheppard - the first big gay maryter? They said he was killed by white men who were anti gay. The truth was he was murdered by former gay lover.

Gays never let a potential pity - “blame a conservative” party go to waste.

This is typical of the professional pity party grievance groups. Same with Jussie Smollett’s hoax. The bleach bottle was to cover a rape that never happened. And the Orlando Gay nightclub killer and all of em. Fake Fake Fake Fake....

[AAABEST]

The guys who lit him on fire:

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Probably his boyfriend who didn't like him giving blow jobs in the local public restrooms.

Sodomites have a really high domestic violence level.

[toddausauras]

Jussie stuff absolutely. 100%.

[Repeal The 17th]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

[GSWarrior]

Ambushed on a wok?

[Pikachu_Dad]

Coals on a barbq don’t go up very fast !

[Ge0ffrey]

I’ll wait before I pass judgement in case it’s a hoax.

[Leaning Right]

Until more information comes in, this is a tough call.

Were the injuries serious? If so, this was probably a legit attack.
If not, this was probably a false flag operation.

If I had to bet at this time, I’d go with the second possibility.
