INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Police said a 22-year-old man was charged with filing a false report about a hate crime.

Floyd Elliott

Floyd Elliott, of Independence, told police that on Dec. 14, two subjects attacked him in the parking lot of his apartment complex. He said the attackers cut him in the stomach, branded him with a hot knife, and attempted to carve the word "Fag" on his forehead.

Investigators were suspicious about the report because the head carving was backwards, as if done while looking into a mirror.

Later, Elliott admitted to police that the injuries were self-inflicted. He said he falsely reported the attack to increase the police presence in his neighborhood.

This is a typical gay, "Look at me!" moment.

REDRUM! REDRUM!

Guys, guys, guys . . . . . . . .

Go easy on the name-calling, ok? Referring to this guy as a "moron" or an "idiot" is insulting to REAL morons and idiots!!!

After chuckling at your joke, it occurred to me...that's nothing but the plain, unvarnished truth. I mean, usually it's not. Usually it's an exaggeration or surrealism, but this time it's a flat statement of fact.

Didn't Morton Downey Jr. paint his swastika backwards on his forehead?

He's still a victim. He had a defective mirror that shows everything backwards. ;)

What is most important: There is an underlying,
fundamental truth to this story.  Even though the reported attack may be false.

"Was it when you noticed his hat was on backwards?"

Occasionally on base they'll have some kid working as a grocery bagger or checker who is wearing his hat backwards.

I get a kick out of goofing on them about it, as if I were telling a stranger that his zipper is down, or that he has a glob of chili dog on his shirt front.

"Um, hey, I hate to bring it up, but did you know you have your hat on backwards? I just thought you'd want to know."

Didn't Al Sharpen get in a bit of trouble with something like this (not the fag part)

There's just something that bothers me about those glasses...

Some Gafs are fags as well as fat.

I like to ask them 'Are you really Derek Jeter?'

[OXENinFLA]

Yeah, the Tawana Brawley story.

[anymouse]

Separated at birth? :)

So many layers to this irony.

[Mo1]

Moron probably carved GAF.

Think it'll leave a scare on his forehead?

[DustyMoment]

What a Yankees fan.

Much better. You can't insult Yankees fans . . . . . their team does that for them.

Think it'll leave a scare on his forehead?

If there is any justice it will.

[mylife]

Sheesh what a maroon

[Petronski]

Whatever could it be? ;O)
