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.

As far as I know, all these turn into hoax.
But you can't tell 'em much!
Hoax.
Or he was really attacked but for a different reason and is playing it for the victim card.
Certain individuals have been known to throw gas on people and set them on fire, so the incident has some credibility that it happened.
I just seriously doubt the *homophobic* angle.
“obliviously”?
Whut?
How can he claim it was a hate crime if the folks he claimed did it are oblivious to the gay community?
Perhaps he meant to say they were obliviated?
Or obtuse.
Because he was sashaying down the street wearing a Liza Minnelli concert t-shirt, and singing show tunes….
Almost certainly fake like all the rest of them.
99.9999% of the time these fag stories are hoaxes, so yeah. Hoax.
Jussie and the twins back in business?
He was given 150 days in jail and served almost exactly 1 week.
2 tier justice system, only idiots and democrats would argue otherwise.
Hoax.. where’s Jusie Smollett!
the Smollett is strong with this one.
Reading the DM article, the ONLY description of one of the supposed perps is "a man in his 20s or 30s...."
So the "blazing" headline and "horrific" details are not matched with ANY sense of who "a man in his 20s or 30s" is. Not height nor weight. No guessed racial identity. And no witnesses, it seems. But Facebook and ABC got the news.
AND "a police report has been filed." Had the police been on the scene, the "victim's" statement would not have to have been filed, and there would be a police report and emergency services report.
DM says Facebook and ABC. So -- at the minimum -- publicity. Messaging.
“I thought it was a subway sandwich.”
Yes. Jussie had a tuna Subway.
This guy probably had endive and cucumber finger sandwich, maybe with some sprouts. A regular Subway would be too manly.
…like coals on a barbecue???
Does he mean - REALLY slowly??
Did they have to keep re-lighting him to keep it going?
50/50 I would say.
Most of these freaks have blue hair and proclaim they are gay because they want attention, and this is giving this guy attention. So you’re 100% right, good chance it’s a fraud.
Out in plain sight without paying the least attention to what you're doing?
