Man admits to faking hate crime in Malden-
In the latest case of a faked hate crime, a 20-year-old man has admitted he made it up when he told Malden cops he was harassed by two men proclaiming it’s “Trump country now.”
The man, whose name police have not released, had filed a complaint saying when he got off an MBTA bus near Broadway Square in Malden at 10 p.m. Tuesday, at least two white men approached him.
The men used a racial slur, made a reference to lynching and warned him this is Donald “Trump country now,” according to the report he gave police. He was able to get away from the men and hid before calling police, officials said.
Investigators prioritized resources for the suspected “hate crime” incident and re-interviewed the alleged victim.
“As a result, it has been determined that the story was completely fabricated,” Malden police Chief Kevin Molis said in a statement. “The alleged victim admitted that he had made up the entire story,” saying he wanted to “raise awareness about things that are going on around the country.”
News reports of claims of harassment and hateful graffiti by Trump supporters have abounded since the Nov. 8 election, but a number of high-profile cases have fallen apart. In Lafayette, La., a Muslim woman will be charged with filing a false report after she admitted to making up a story about two men — one in a Trump hat — robbing her of her wallet and her hijab head scarf. In Santa Monica, Calif., police said they could find no evidence an alleged beating of a gay man by Trump supporters had taken place.
He still had the noose around his neck when police arrived to interview him 45 minutes after the attack.
@Roman. It’s a black gay fashion accessory. He looked 🎶FABULOUS.
Bo and Luke at it again…
I think I remember it being decided by investigators that for women who kill their children it’s always “the bushy-haired stranger” on a lonely road at night.
These people are just nut jobs. Mental illness.
I love the stories where the morons spray paint their cars and vandalize their own property, maim themselves etc and then are determined to be completely fabricated. If that isn’t a sign of mental illness then what is.
Um, OK. So, he wanted to raise awareness of fake hate crimes?
Mission accomplished.
The CBS Evening morons just said that 10-12 detectives are investigating it.
Sorry, murder victims. You rank somewhere down the line from a fake hate crime.
When it’s disproved, it won’t get any coverage because that will discourage future hate crime hoaxes, er, I mean people legitimately feeling safe to report a crime committed against them.
Al Sharpton doesn’t throw as much weight around like he used to in those Atlantic Coke and Cake hate whitey decades.
That’s the trouble with NPCs. They have a very limited repertoire.
If these so-called hate crimes were really a thing, why do you feel the need to lie to “raise awareness”?
Are they kidding?!
