Grand Jury Indicts Three Black Students Who Made Up Hoax of a Racist Attack Against Them; They Were Actually The Ones Beating Someone Up (While Throwing Racial Epithets)
Good. It's about time the justice system started taking these abuses seriously.
[V]ideo of the incident, including a dozen angles from the bus itself and multiple videos shot by other passengers, led the police to reach a very different conclusion. Police Chief Frank Wiley said in a statement, "The evidence indicates they were actually the aggressors … and that they continued to assault the victim despite the efforts of several passengers to stop them." Furthermore, the only use of racially-charged language appears to have been by the black students themselves.
Police grew suspicious when the trio claimed the violent white supremacist's name was Haven Monahan.
This is a genuine problem: there have been over one hundred racecrime/gendercrime hoaxes this decade.
Breitbart tallied up all the alleged racecrimes we've heard so much about, and found a hundred to be fake.
When we started our search, we were expecting to find twenty, perhaps forty examples from the past decade of high-profile hate crimes that turned out to be frauds.
If only. We found over a hundred, spread across race, gender, sexuality and religion.
Perhaps thanks to the effect of social media and citizen-led sleuthing, reports of hate-crime hoaxes undergo a massive surge in the years after 2011. 2015 seems to have been a high point -- our search found over 20 incidents in that year alone.
Then again, we’re only a quarter of the way through 2016. There have already been four major hate crime hoaxes this year.
And consider this: those are just the ones that were reported. How many other hate crime hoaxers are still out there, undiscovered and unpunished? It's impossible to say, but given human empathy's tendency to override scepticism, we suspect the number is high -- and probably rising. Because the left is running out of real haters.
If the Social Justice Warriors' theories and claims are true -- why is it they have to invent so much of the evidence for them?
