There is more to this story. The City Council and Mayor in Lincoln recently passed an ordinance giving gays extra-special rights. A petition was quickly gathered requiring a vote. The government did everything they could to crush it. When it did not work, it was scheduled to go to a vote of the people. It was not expected to pass.
I suspect this person decided to tip the scales before the vote (get the “sympathy” vote). Looks like it backfired. The government is now looking to put off the vote until after “passions” cool down.
From the Lifesite story:
At the scene, police found a pair of white knit gloves. “She had told the investigators initially that the gloves were the only things that were left behind by her assailants and that they were not hers,” said Lincoln Police Chief Jim Peschong. But the only DNA the University of Nebraska Medical Center found inside them “matched Miss Rogers.”
Police soon found that she had purchased a pair of white gloves, zip ties, a utility knife, and blades at the local Ace Hardware store on July 17. They matched the bar codes to those sold at the store, and an employee identified Rogers as having shopped there.
The day after shopping at Ace – four days before the alleged assault – Rogers posted on Facebook: “So maybe I am too idealistic, but I believe way deep inside me that we can make things better for everyone. I will be a catalyst. I will do what it takes. I will. Watch me.”
