The subject of hate crime hoaxes was the subject of testimony before the U. S. House Judiciary Committee in 1999.
This is a brief, but shocking read. As you'll learn....hate crime hoaxes are common, but the mainstream media all but ignores them.

I am an avid follower of hate crime hoaxes. I have been trying for a long time to find a follow up story on an alleged hate crime that occured probably a year or so ago.
A lesbian claims that a couple of guys drove up beside her as she walked down the street. They jumped out of their car and attacked her, carving Dyke into her forearm (or was it stomach?) as well as other physical things. After the original story it all but vanished.
If you know the crime I am talking about I would love an update on it if you know of one. Thanks!
