The 33-year-old lesbian who told police she was brutally attacked spoke to an Omaha television station Thursday.

Charlie Rogers spoke with KETV, Omaha’s ABC affiliate, saying the attack changed her life.

“I’m not hiding from this anymore,” she said. “My world has been changed forever.”

Rogers told police three masked men broke into her house early Sunday morning, bound her with zip ties and carved anti-gay slurs into her skin before trying to light her house on fire.

Through her attorney, Rogers has declined interview requests from the Journal Star.

Police are investigating the reported attack as a hate crime, but have been unable to rule out that Rogers’ report is a hoax. They have no suspects

Whoa! They better search her apartment again. I’m sure there must be a noose hanging there someplace.

This has been widely reported as having been a hoax. But the liberal media is still going with the story. We’re supposed to feel sympathy about how much “homophobia” is out there in middle America because of this alleged attack.

Why is it that liberals feel the need to invent incidents to prove that there is hatred of the left?

You just have to wonder why folks keep making up the stories and doing crazy stuff like this.

On what part of her body were they carved? How deep? On her back a half inch deep? Then maybe she has a case, but then ...

Missing from this story is how the "perps" spray painted anti-gay slurs on the walls.
As someone else pointed out - why spray paint the walls if you're going to burn the place down?
Also, how did she know the "perps" were men if they were masked?

before trying to light her house on fire.

My It-Is-Probably-A-Hoax-o-Meter went off when I read in the original thread that ‘she’ claimed the house was ‘doused’ with gasoline, yet the resulting fire only did $200.00 worth of damage.

DING DING DING

$200 worth of damage in this day could be done by just knocking out a screen on a screen door or breaking a window or getting a coffee stain on the carpet.

If the house were doused with gasoline, the fire would have been substantial.

Agenda trumps facts.

Yeah, they could have been WNBA players. With masks on it's often hard to tell.

sketchy details, the police department’s PC overseers prevent them from coming out and calling a hoax. All we get are backhanded comments.

Homosexuals are present in vastly larger percentages in MSM newsrooms than they comprise in the general population.

The distorted perspective they bring to many issues is one of the reasons the MSM's influence and credibility is shrinking while they lay off workers.

They could’ve been a rival lesbian gang “transitioning” on testosterone, too.
