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!

If I recall correctly, it was a hoax -
forensics determined that the word "Dyke" carved into her stomach was upside down... ;0)

Sent a private reply also; had heard about that hoax, but never found anything much about it.
Speaking of hoaxes, a freerepublic post of a couple of years ago bears a revisit. A different kind of hoax....

Oops... wrong one - was thinking of the black lady with 'KKK' carved into her chest backwards... oops...

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.All the cops needed to do was see how the word "Dyke" was carve, and how deep, e.g. if the word has been smoothly carved (D Y K E) and at a regular depth then 99.99% of the time it is self inflicted. If, OTOH, the word is carved in a very jagged, almost illegable manner and the depth is all over the place then you are looking at a genuine assault.
After all, when someone has grabbed you and is determined to carve you with a knife you're going to squirm, wiggle, struggle, what have you. In short, you're not going to stand still....like you would if you were using the knife on yourself.
