Man Who Claims he Was Assaulted for Being Gay May Have Actually Injured Himself

A man claiming to be the victim of an anti-gay assault outside a bar in Missoula, Mont., may have actually caused his own injuries. New video obtained by the police supposedly shows the 22-year-old trying to do a backflip from a street curb and landing on his face:
This is what local media outlets reported immediately following the alleged assault:
The beating of a gay man outside the Missoula Club, where he’d gone to celebrate his 22nd birthday, early Sunday morning has spurred renewed calls to add sexual orientation to bias crimes laws in Montana.
[…]
The man indicated to police he was assaulted because of his sexual orientation, Missoula Police Lt. Scott Brodie said Monday.
The man told police he’d asked people at the Mo Club about the location of a gay bar, when someone asked him to step outside for a cigarette, Brodie said.
But the man said that when he left the bar, someone hit him, and then two more people joined in, Brodie said. The incident happened at 1:30 a.m. Sunday and the man reported it to police at 4:30 a.m., after he got home, Brodie said.
Once the story broke and photos of the 22-year-old became available, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community and its supporters were extremely upset. Some posted pictures of the alleged victim all over Facebook while others called for protests and protective legislation.

But then, you know, the backflip video emerged and it has kind of added a new element to the story.
“Until we finish the investigation, we won’t know the entire story, but it has certainly been a major development in the case,” said Missoula Police Chief Mark Muir, according to the Missoulian.
Still, the video is not conclusive evidence that the alleged victim’s story is made up [why do you think we keep saying “alleged”?] and it has yet to be verified whether the above video was recorded the night of the alleged [see?] assault.
“That’s why we’re not rushing to anything. There still needs to be an investigation,” Muir said.
The “Wipe Out Homophobia” Facebook page, however, took a more angry approach to news of the video: “Looks like we have all been had …”

So what happened with that suspicious case of the lesbian who was alleging an assault by some guys who didn’t touch her and printed – very neatly – “we found u d*ke” on her walls.
Sounds like yet another setup.

Posted on August 7, 2012 at 10:31pmThis is specifically a hate crime against straight white males. I don’t like hate crime laws but this is one. We have no equal protection under the law. We need street justice. I am calling for street justice. It is obvious these people are not very smart. Their ignorance has been hidden by the media which is not very smart either. Street Justice is coming. And you better not try to dis enfranchise me in the election. We will uncover any irregularities. Eventually the sheep will discover the side they are on is loosing. and join the winners. We don’t want you.And there will be trials for un American activity. I would buy stock in the rope industry.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 6:30amIt’s not gay on gay crime. It’s sacrificing yourself for your cause. They pretend non-gays did it so they can whip up resentment of the gays for the straight community and start brawls. It’s chaos in the streets they want, and they’re willing to break the law and file false claims to do it. Or in the case above, maybe he has a little bit of male pride afterall and didn’t want to say he looks that way because he was drunk and tried a back flip.

Report Post »Within all of us is a sense of right and wrong. “Gays” struggle — in their souls — with the “preference path” they’ve chosen.
Many of them, especially the most activist, are angry, hateful, and unhappy. Which brings the question; WHY do they call it “gay?”

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 7:54amDoes anyone else find it amusing and draw parallels with Islamophobia? We live in such a free and tolerant society that activists seem to need to make up hate crimes if there aren’t enough to go around. I am always wary of so-called viral campaigns and I refuse to join in on something until all the facts are in.

Posted on August 8, 2012 at 8:35am@FreedomWitness There was also a story where a white guy skateboarding busted himself up, then said that a group of blacks jumped him. Also a year or two ago a white girl claimed a black lady spilled acid on her face saying “Here you go, pretty girl”; it turned out that the spilled acid on herself.

Can you blame them? They live with gayness every day. Imagine everything being gay 24/7. That is borderline cruel and unusual punishment. This is not so dissimilar to being a democrat. Two mental disorders that occasionally show itself it different ways.

Homosexuals love to be thought of as victims.
They are, in fact, liars and purveyors of lies and deceit.

You know who gets beat up outside Missoula bars, soldiers. Now that REALLY happens. Also, his injuries are consistant with a concrete face plant.

” How many times does this need to take place before we can admit again as a society that homosexuality is a mental disorder?”
Right you are, guy.
It‘s astounding how so many people insist on living a lie just so they’re thought of as “tolerant,“ or not ”homophobic,”……. whatever that means, since all creatures are born with a natural alienation of homosexuality as part of inborn traits that compel the individual to perpetuate his species and reject anything in opposition to that.
I would think that most people would be up in arms against homosexuals in their communities if they knew of the immense dangers from them regarding the spread of diseases which are mostly within the sodomite communities, aside and apart of their mental illnesses which take on many forms.

Bad blood is bad blood. When a homosexual injures himself in public on purpose and leaves behind trace blood samples; is it a hate crime or domestic terrorism?
