Authorities: Gay slur carved into Utah man's arm was staged

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A man who reported someone beat him and carved a homophobic slur into his arm staged the attacks, authorities in rural Utah said Tuesday... The purported attacks began with a beating at his family's pizza business in April that left Jones with head and facial bruising.

Five days later, the family's home was found spray-painted with a homophobic slur. On June 10, a rock and a molotov cocktail were thrown through the window of the home. That same day, the business was spray-painted, broken into and robbed of $1,000.

Jones told KSL-TV earlier this month he believed he was targeted because he is gay. Dekker said prosecutors are considering possible charges including filing a false report and reckless burning.

Black Suspect Arrested After Racist Message Discovered Outside Predominately Black Church

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (CBS4)– A Colorado Springs man was arrested after police believe he left racist messages outside a church. Vincent Broughton, 44, who is black, is facing charges for committed a bias-motivated crime and disorderly conduct.

The signs were posted outside the New Covenant church that is predominately attended by African Americans. One sign references the KKK. Another reads, “Black men beware, you are the target.”

The messages had the congregation on edge. “We locked our doors this morning, so we were inside, but it shouldn’t be that way. You shouldn’t have to lock your doors in the church, it’s just… I’m speechless,” said Pastor Roland Joyner.

This shit isn't helping.

There is a metaphor here to being poor. That many people are poor, but folks like you, Kirata, would find the one individual whom is abusing the system when they easily have resources from other areas. But that you dont stop there, but simply assume the same sort of 'identity' (for lack of a better wording) is common across everyone that is poor.

Not a good showing from somebody who makes a practice of calling other people "paranoid schizophrenics".

While either individual could claim a 1st amendment defense, I really doubt they will be successful. Neither is a 1st amendment issue. Even a public defender will try to persuade their client from making a fool-hardy proposal in court as a defense.

Neither is a first Amendment issue.
The first filed a false police report, not covered by free speech.
The second was a racist act attempting to incite hostility against whites based on race. If the perpetrator were white this is what you would call a hate crime.

The topic of the thread is not "The English Language". Therefore your argument is invalid!

Because if we start requiring posters to give realistic and good posts; you couldn't post anything on here! Before you become a Grammar Nazi, realize, I could become 'intellectual accountability' police. So without having to say anything prior, we agreed on things for better or worst.
