Ping to the list! Fake hate crimes.
Please ping me to fake hate crime stories. PM me to join the list.
I remember this from last year.
Its a little different from the average fake hate crime in that the kid was bat shit crazy and actually hated his own people.
Probably one of the weirdest stories of the year.
2000 threats is a lot of threats. It’s no wonder he was caught. He must have been doing little else.
US institutions have a Pavlovian response of evacuation for every bomb “threat” made my phone or social media, even though NONE have ever proven genuine.
The bad guys and bored students have figured it out.
What a schmuck
Hard to understand. Perhaps you gotta be Jewish.
I agree that it is weird, but, because I run a Fake Hate Crimes list, I am starting to see all this as normal! No kidding.
After the election of Trump, I was run off my feet, posting up fake hate crime stories.
Oy vey.
Yes. He is like a comic book character. He is autistic, and had a computer room in his parent’s basement.
Enough said.
if this were a mooselimb he’d have been acquitted and given a job at cnn.
Oy gevalt!
So did this go into the “spike in hate crimes under Trump” numbers?
I expect it did.
Concur.
Thats said, its almost more a real hate crime from a fellow Jew.
I remain pissed off at this kid. I was working out at the JCC and got hustled out in bad weather in work out clothes.
I'll say. Boy's got chutzpah, doesn't he?
At the very end of that article, there is criticism against Pres. Trump for not condemning the Neo-Nazis in North Carolina last year. That has nothing at all to do with this young man. I guess the writer just couldn’t help it.
Some high functioning autistic are also diagnosed as having the Aspergers Syndrome. A few I have met are easy going, like any other group of people. A few others in that group seem very annoyed, irritable, negative or ‘closed’ for most the time.
My guess is some of this second group can perceive that they are seen as different by the main population, and they remain frustrated on what if anything can be done about it. For a very small group of these high functioning, self aware autistic people, the frustration breaks down into envy and hostility toward those who seem to have it all together.
Maybe that is what happened here. He was left alone by his parents, assuming he lived with them, and allowed to fill his days as he saw fit. Never questioned on exactly WHAT was keeping him so very occupied during the day. It’s too late for this guy now, but he would have been better off in a supervised facility or group home, where his potential may have been caught before it was acted out in the real world.
There’s a fake hate crimes ping list?
Wonderful - can you add me? Thanks.
Doesnt help.
It's always nice when stereotypes are met, no matter what group is involved.
