DELTA — After investigating a brutal attack and vandalism against a gay man, the Millard County Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday afternoon that the crimes were staged. Does anyone else get suspicious when some "tragedy" happens and the fundraising begins? |
|
With all the false claims that have come to light from nasty notes on CC receipts to false allegations of assault and rape....I take them all with a grain of salt.

I recently saw a story about 6 or so black churches that mysteriously burned down since the Charleston shootings. I'm willing to bet they were all set by members of the church hoping to cash in and get a new one.

View Quote His story sounded fishy from the beginning. It was really suspicious to me that such an infamous crime -- the assailant supposedly carved "DIE FAG" in his arm -- would go unsolved in such a small town. The logical conclusion was that either the cops were protecting the perp because he was well-connected to local political/religious leaders, or that it was a hoax. The fact the guy's own father didn't think it was a hate crime sealed the deal for me. |

Well yeah, when you burn a property down and collect sympathy and insurance money, it is arson. |

I'm not GarandM1, and keep in mind I only saw a small blurb on a friends Facebook post, but what struck me was it was just too perfect. Young gay man beaten and disfigured by intolerant small-town hick bigots. It's like it was written for an audience who thinks every day is Mississippi Burning for the chosen minority of the day. Also because every high profile 'hate crime' lately, Charleston dick-head side, ends up being fake. After seeing what GarandM1 wrote, the "small town, we don't know who it was" factor played a role in my thinking too. I didn't know that about his dad. Yeah. Wonder if the folks who flogged the hate crime story are going to issue any front page corrections. Ha! I know they won't. |

More and more, I think "gay" is more of a cry for attention, than anything else.

Using electronic means to receive the donations or post the sob story makes it a federal crime, wire fraud. If federal LE investigated the crime and he lied to an investigator he could be charged for that too. He could even be found guilty if he never talked to or had anything to do with a federal investigator, if his false statements were submitted to a federal investigator. 18 U.S.C. Section 1001 is so broadly interpreted that a person doesn't even need to lie to a federal investigator to be in violation of it. In United States v. Yermian, Yermian lied to his employer but because his employer submitted the questionnaire that he lied on to the federal government he was convicted. The Supreme Court held that there is no basis for requiring proof that the defendant had actual knowledge of federal agency jurisdiction. |

Outside of GoFundMe, there are sites dedicated to funding things like product development.. many are funded but I wonder how many actually end up with a worthwhile consumer product. Probably not many. Anyone who jumps on the GoFundMe social cause of the week is just an idiot. I have an idea for a SJW oriented crowdfunding site that would probably make me a lot of money as the libs would flock to it to piss away their money lmao |

Applies to both black and white churches . gd I vaguely remember that when the old "whitey burns down black churches" gag got played on the network news during the Clinton administration, it turned out that almost all the fires were not arson, and the arson ones were started by black members of the congregation. I think there were also several reports of arson at churches that had not had fires of any kind. The whole thing was a bigoted concoction from a democrat administration and reporters who honestly believed that blacks are helpless, little children who can only be saved by whites. Remind you of Ferguson and Baltimore? It should. |

The news articles just seemed a bit too... conveniently timed... when they came out, right after the shooting, and made me wonder.
As another poster commented, if you remember back during Slick Willie's reign, the media played up "the rash of black churches being burned by those evil white supremacists...", etc, that turned out to be bogus. I personally believe that it's another case of media spin, reporting what would normally been a page 6 article, if that, about an inch long, never to be heard of again. (Putting on my fire hat...) General studies show that approximately 1700-1800 churches burn per year. Rough math puts that to be around 5 to 6, per day.... Don't you get sick of all the lengthy news stories and paper articles that you hear & read about this? Oh yeah, you don't, as it's not newsworthy unless they decide it is.... ISTR that about 30% fall under the category of maintenance issues alone, with the rest being spread out between honest-to-goodness arson for whatever reason, acts of nature, etc. So you'll hear about it until they decide that the 'news-worthiness' has been milked for what it's worth, and it'll go back to being a non-reported item again. |
