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.”

There is one and it shows him attacking a pregnant woman!!
I read about it here on Andy Ngo’s site but don’t know how to bring it up

I thought that was extreme for a hoax, but it was the woman who threw something flammable on him and lit him up in self-defense. He manufactured the hoax from there, thinking no one would suspect he was the guy who assaulted a pregnant woman. What an idiot. The police weren’t imbeciles and connected the dots as to time, location and the rather odd fire element.
EVERYONE. This is really what happened to the “flaming faggot”
Man allegedly assaults pregnant woman; woman sets man on fire
SAN DIEGO —
San Diego police are investigating what they described as a “complex case” after receiving reports that during an alleged assault by a man on a pregnant woman in the Gaslamp Quarter last week, the woman set the man on fire.
Investigators also said they were looking into whether the incident was a hate crime, and what, if any, other crimes were committed, police Lt. Adam Sharki said in a news release Wednesday.
The incident was reported around 10:40 p.m. June 12 on Sixth Avenue near Broadway. According to police, they received multiple 911 calls that a man had attacked a pregnant woman before he fled.
Officers spoke with the woman and with witnesses, Sharki said. The woman was taken to a hospital with multiple injuries.
Investigators began searching for the man.
Police received a report around 11:55 p.m. that an injured man on Market Street had been set on fire by another person about an hour earlier, the lieutenant said.
Paramedics took the man to a hospital.
Investigators said the man was the suspect in the attack on the pregnant woman, Sharki said. At the same time, officers started investigating the woman for causing the man’s burn injuries.
In an interview with 10News earlier this week, the man, who is gay, said he was walking home when he heard two people yelling gay slurs at him. He yelled back at them, the man said in the interview.
The two charged up behind him and threw a liquid on him that had “the consistency of water,” 10News reported. The man was set ablaze. He stopped, dropped and rolled to extinguish the flames.
The man suffered second-degree burns, he told 10News. He claimed the attack was a hate crime.
Investigators found security footage that showed the attack on Sixth Avenue, Sharki said in the news release.
The video shows the initial physical assault by the man on the pregnant woman and the subsequent “use of fire as a weapon” by the pregnant woman on the man, the lieutenant said.
The video has not been released publicly.
Police did not say what the substance was that fueled the fire, or how the man was set on fire. They did not clarify if there was evidence of a hate crime.
“This is a complex investigation and detectives are examining all aspects and allegations,” Sharki said. He later added: “We recognize the community’s interest in this case and are working to balance transparency with protecting the active criminal investigations.
“The San Diego Police Department is dedicated to conducting thorough investigations whenever allegations of a hate crime are brought to our attention,” Sharki said.
Investigators asked anyone with information to call the department at (619) 531-2000. Anonymous tips can be left by calling Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
He should count himself fortunate that they didn’t pour bleach on him to put out the flames.
We all knew it.
Predictable as the sunrise.
Liars with an agenda as usual.
👍👍
Yep
I was more than 98% certain
And here it is
That’s right.
Heterophobes are among the worst haters, too.
They’ll make up hate crime hoaxes and blame normal people just to smear them. So much for tolerance and *Love is Love.*
“According to San Diego Police, officers received calls about a man attacking a pregnant woman on the 900 block of 6th Avenue just after 10:40 p.m. on June 12.”
Are they sure it wasn’t a pregnant man?
Same details in the article you posted...
So will the news-sites that published the original story on the front page, publish the true story just as prominently (if even at all)?
I suspect this incident will be added to the “homophobic hate crimes list” and never be retracted.
Oh it was a real female because only a faggot would attack a pregnant woman. Think about it.
Another “toldja so!”
Tip off Breitbart et al on this and they will carry it.
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for an evening....
Yep!
“Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for an evening.... “
Well I’m thinking he’s gay, he’s attacked a pregnant woman, he’s set on fire. Maybe he’s being warned of what is coming in the after life?
He did not get the message because he cried ‘wolf’.
Yes I remember that garage door incident. The anti-gay slurs were painted on the garage door of a house where two lesbians lived.
And the news media gave them great coverage of how awful the community was, and that there’s anti-gay hatred and all of that.
And it turned out that those idiots painted those slurs on their own garage door.
