INDEPENDENCE, Mo. -- Police said a 22-year-old man was charged with filing a false report about a hate crime.
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.
Separated at birth?
The irony is manifold. :)
Fat, fraudulent and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
"We like the moon...
"'Cause it is close to us..."
I wonder how many times people like this actually do get away with their lies?
and there will probably be a next time....
Reminds me of the Late Morton Downey, wrote a backwards swastika on his forhead and accused the skinheads.
What a complete TOOL.
Does anyone know how many of these reports are fake? What percentage?
Can't wait for baseball season this year...Santa brought me XM radio....just in time for the new season..
Well, there is the teacher in California that just got sentenced to a year in prison for faking her hate crime. I believe she was charged with filing a false police report & insurance fraud. She also owes the college a few thousand dollars for the security they had to pay for after her "attack".
ROFL!

lj will be gone from FR for a short while. I'm the volunteer until little jeremiah gets back online.
If you want on/off the list let me know.
Right. I know about her, that is why I am wondering what % are false.
I would assume that falsely reporting a hate crime has more severe consequence or penalty than simply falsely reporting a crime?
Too, too funny reagan_fanatic. And bi-focals to boot!
If a man kills a man because he hates him, is the dead man any deader than a man who is killed by a man for no reason at all? A man kills a woman because she cheated on him versus a man who kills his wife because he wanted too after drinking to much, which is worse? neither. A crime is a crime and the rest is politics worming its way into the legal system which is a very dangerous situation too.
"The lib papers always treat these "hate crimes" as front page news, when 90% are flippin hoaxes"
The libs want us to accept the 'gaf's as equals. With this unacceptable notion imposed on us, what do they expect?
If there is any justice, this will result in permanent scarification for this moron.
LOL!
"STUPID FAG!"
