(LifeSiteNews) In yet another example of an alleged “hate crime” unraveling, a young homosexual whose tale of abuse became a national issue has admitted he made the whole thing up.
Joseph Baken admitted in court today that he had perpetrated a hoax by telling police three men had beaten him because he was homosexual, lacerating his face.
Baken initially said he entered the Missoula Club last Saturday to celebrate his 22nd birthday, announced he was gay, and asked for directions to a gay bar. He called the police three hours later, at 4:30 a.m, saying a man had lured him outside to smoke a cigarette, where two other men joined him beating Baken and called him a “fa@#ot.”
A Moonbattery import, because it is THAT good:
The media must be grateful for hate crime hoaxes. Without them, virtually the only hate crimes would be against the heterosexual white males we are supposed to regard as demons. Another to add to the list:
A minister at a Virginia church faces charges of setting his house and car in Chesterfield County on fire.
Chesterfield County police had investigated the fires as a possible hate crime because a racial slur had been painted on the house. Police believe 41-year-old Olander D. Cuthrell, who is black, painted the slurs on his home before he set it on fire.
Rev. Cuthrell joins a dishonor roll that includes:
✦ Charlie Rogers
✦ Joseph Baken
✦ Alexandra Pennell
✦ Aimee Whitchurch and Christel Conklin
✦ Quinn Matney
✦ Aubriana Banks
✦ Sarah Marshak
✦ Tawana Brawley
✦ Crystal Gail Mangum
✦Kerri Dunn
✦Leah Miller
✦Ahmad Saad Nasim
…et cetera, ad nauseam.
Too bad this didn’t occur in Arkansas during Bill Clinton’s childhood. Then when he pandered for black and moonbat votes by proclaiming, “I have vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child,” he might not have been lying.
So lets, talk about this a bit, and why I have been for years against “hate-crime” legislation. One reason is this:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Hate Crime Statistics Program (fbi.gov), the official source of hate crime data for the United States, constitutes the greatest hate crime hoax of all. Simply put, according to the Hate Crime Statistics Program, “Hispanic” is a victim category, but not a perpetrator category. A racially motivated crime against a Hispanic person by a white person is recorded as an anti-Hispanic hate crime by a white person. But a racially motivated crime against a black person by a visibly non-white Hispanic person is recorded as an anti-black hate crime by a white person (fbi.gov).
Taki lists the top-ten of hate-crime hoaxes, but this list can be much, much, longer. Taki has only listed ten examples but there are dozens and dozens more. This is a great compilation of hate-crime hoaxes from just 1993.
1. “KKK,” “NIG@#R,” AND “BITCH” SCRAWLED ON BLACK VICTIM’S TORSO
In 1987 Tawana Brawley claimed to have been abducted and raped by white cops, who left her to die in the garbage. She said epithets were written on her body upside down in a black substance that resembled charcoal. Brawley was sued for making up the story. She subsequently converted to Islam.
2. SWASTIKA PAINTED ON TALK-SHOW HOST’S FOREHEAD
In 1989, Morton Downey, Jr. claimed that Nazi skinheads painted a swastika on his forehead in an airport bathroom. Then people noticed the swastika was backwards, which is how it would be drawn if you did it yourself in front of a mirror.
3. SWASTIKA AND “BURN NIG@#R BURN” SPRAY-PAINTED ON CRIPPLED BLACK LESBIAN CANCER VICTIM’S HOUSE
A cancer-stricken black lesbian in a wheelchair was subjected to the visceral hatred of some stranger who spray-painted “Burn Nig@#r Burn” on her house. Police got suspicious and installed a surveillance camera, which revealed said black lesbian lighting a cross on fire. She also wasn’t handicapped and had even shaved her eyebrows to try and convince people she was undergoing chemo.
4. ANOTHER BLACK MAN DRAGGED BEHIND A TRUCK
In 1998, the same year James Byrd was dragged behind a truck, a black drug dealer named Cornelius Weaver said the same thing happened to him. It was investigated as a hate crime until Weaver was forced to admit his wounds were the result of getting the shit kicked out of him in a drug deal gone wrong.
5. RACIST HATE LETTERS SENT TO BLACK STUDENTS
In 2005, Alicia Hardin convinced authorities that racists were sending hate mail to nonwhite kids in her class. The Chicago school got so spooked, they relocated minority students to a motel. Alicia was sent to jail for sending the letters herself.
6. WHITE COLLEGE STUDENTS GANG-RAPE BLACK GIRL
In 2006 members of the Duke University lacrosse team were accused of gang-raping a black stripper. Everyone from Al Sharpton to local District Attorney Mike Nifong jumped on this “hate crime” and ruined the kids’ lives while stoking racial tension across the nation. In the end, the only people who went to jail were Nifong and the black stripper.
7. NOOSE ON COLUMBIA PROF’S DOOR
In 2007, Columbia professor Madonna Constantine discovered a noose on her office door. She was under investigation for serial plagiarism, and this incident had the potential to turn her from perp to victim. It worked—for a while. Eventually she lost her job and the noose story hit her ass on the way out.
8. CRIME SCENE INCLUDES “NIGGER” WRITTEN IN BLOOD NEXT TO BODY
That same year, Penn State football player and pot dealer Langston Carraway was found stabbed to death with the word NIGGER written next to him in his own blood. The black community was furious the story wasn’t getting more coverage until they learned Carraway was stabbed by another black football player who needed money to pay off some debts (including money owed for a tattoo). Though stories like this represent a tiny fraction of the news, 93% of black murder victims are killed by other blacks.
9. “KILL THE GAY” PAINTED ON LESBIANS’ GARAGE
On Saturday, we learned of two Colorado lesbians who had their garage door vandalized with the hateful slogan above. They felt very passionate about capturing the perpetrator until the police did a scan for spray paint on the lesbian’s hands. One of the lesbians is now being charged with criminal mischief.
(Telegraph) Lesbian couple FAKED hate crime by painting their OWN home with ‘Kill the Gays’ to frame neighbors after spat over dogs
A lesbian couple that claimed their neighbors spray painted ‘Kill the Gay’ on their condo are being accused by the police for doing the deed themselves.
The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado has issued a warrant for Aimee Whitchurch, 37, and Christel Conklin, 29, for forgery, false reporting and criminal mischief.
In October of 2011, the women claimed they were the victims of a horrible hate crime, saying that members of their Homeowner’s Association threatened their lives, keyed their car and left a noose at their doorstep.
[….]
But an investigation revealed that there was no plot to target the two women, it was all just an apparent cry for attention. Sheriff’s spokesman, Cocha Hedyen
‘Through the investigation and from witness statements, it was determined that allegations of the incident were false,’…
10. “KKK” CARVED ON LAKOTA ELDER
On Monday, demonstrators in Rapid City, SD marched two miles to the local hospital to protest a group of racist surgeons who had carved “KKK” into an American Indian’s stomach during his triple bypass. The police looked into the allegations and couldn’t see the scarring. The “victim” had to admit he couldn’t see it either because he’s blind.
