I’d prefer a law which requires the perpetrator of such a hoax get double the prison sentence that a person found guilty of the claimed hate crime would receive.

“You left out the part where gasoline was supposedly poured on her walls and set afire causing...only $200 worth of damage.”
Luckily for her, the fire just happened to miss anything that she wasn’t going to get rid of anyway.

Thanks so much for posting this!
There were SO many red flags from the first moment:
1. Tied up with zip ties on the wrists only, allowing quick freedom.
2. 3 masked men but no forced entry
3. fire put out immediately with little damage
4. Overly neat spray paint in the basement
I hope she pays for wasting the time of the police and the FBI, not to mention 911 and her neighbor at 4 am, plus the hundreds who attended vigil and the national support and donations. What a scammer.

There were some at DU urging caution about believing this story. I guess if they get burned often enough, even DU’ers learn to not touch the hot stove.

I agree. Now THAT would be justice.
To: PJ-Comix
The only thing really surprising about these "hate crime" stories is that the perpetrators continue to think they can get away with faking it and they NEVER do. They never get away with it, true. But they never pay the price that they are trying to make someone else pay, or that someone would pay who stole the amount of money that these useless and wasted investigations cost would.
Until they do, they will continue to happen.

I read your DUmmies post about this yesterday. You were completely on target. (I still don't know how you can read their drivel. I like to laugh at liberal's musings, too, but I need to shower afterwards. Twice after visiting DU!) Your editing them and adding commentary, then posting it here helps a lot, so I thank you immensely for your service!
Faking a hate crime should be a hate crime.

The newspaper headline could also read: “POLICE NOT RULING OUT COMPLETE IDIOCY.”

I wonder how long anesthetics stay in the blood stream? I wonder if the cops have thought to do a complete blood/tissue check for foreign substances?

Its really sad she was attacked for being with kids when its the children shes really focused on, Thorfinnson said. Thats why she wanted to do any event during Pride where were raising kids in a world of acceptance and tolerance instead of hate. Since when is intolerance the equivalent of hate?

I would think that males would be much more likely to attack male homosexuals.
Lesbos, meh.
To: PJ-Comix
Homosexuals are mentally retarded. This, as you say, was easily predicted the day the story broke.

If she takes even one cent of the money that’s being raised to help her then I hope they will be able to add some sort of fraud charges to whatever else they hit her with.

I would think a real hate crime would be simpler and less elaborate. A simple beating or simply killing her would be more believable. I am not really sure who would have it in for lesbians that much, I have read of gay men who have been beaten up but never a woman. There was a kid in my high school who was openly gay 40 years ago, long before it became acceptable. He got in fights all the time with some of the jocks, I figure by the time he graduated he was one of the toughest fighters around. Aside from that one individual while I have read of the occasional assault of a gay they seem more like the targeting of easy marks for robbery.
To: PJ-Comix
soon as i read the headline I thought fake.
