We live in a pretty sick and twisted world where people will do just about
anything to get attention or push forward some agenda or cause.
Some will even go so far as to stage hate crime attacks, like a Utah man,
who told police someone beat him to a pulp and carved a gay slur in his arm.
Yeah, totally wasn’t true.
From The Washington Times:
A man who said that someone had beaten him and carved a gay slur into
his arm staged the attacks, authorities in rural Utah said Tuesday.
Millard County Sheriff Robert Dekker said Rick Jones, 21, could face
charges after officers investigating the series of reported attacks found
inconsistencies in the evidence. The Delta man eventually acknowledged
faking the harassment, Sheriff Dekker said.
Brett Tolman, an attorney for Mr. Jones, didn’t deny the sheriff’s
claim, saying the reports were a cry for help initially directed toward
people close to his client. But Mr. Jones didn’t realize how much attention
they would get, the lawyer said.
The purported attacks began with a beating at his family’s pizza
business in April that left Mr. Jones with head and facial bruising and the
words “die fag” carved in his arm.
Five days later, the family’s home was found spray-painted with the
same 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.
Mr. Jones told KSL-TV earlier this month he believed he was targeted
because he is gay.
It’s a good thing this dude is seeking mental help, because gay or straight
, faking an attack like this is a sign something’s not right upstairs, and
who knows what someone willing to do something like this is actually capable
of.
I’m always at a loss for words when I read some extreme act carried out by
someone being called a “cry for help.”
I mean, wouldn’t it have been easier and a lot less painful to just ask for
help instead of hacking up your own flesh?
While I disagree with the homosexual lifestyle, I do hope this young man and
his family find peace and healing through this situation. |
