I still disagree with the entire premise of hate crime laws, but I am glad to see at least some proponents of them act responsibly when considering which cases to publicize.

@40 = weirdest spam ever. Check out "her" post history. She actually DID reach out for help before finding salvation in a love potion. Bizarre.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hasn't picked the story up yet.

@35: Attention, sometimes motivated by what can be considered a pathological need for it, or cynical attempts at discursive engineering through false-flag attacks.

That Black woman in Louisiana who burned 60% of her body and claimed that three White men in hoods racially attacked her needs psychiatric help.

Who burns their own body so badly that they end up in the hospital just to claim a hate crime? These people are crying out.

But I agree with Dan that the media should investigate before jumping all over these stories. That whole fiasco at Duke (false rape allegations against the Lacrosse team) should have taught everyone a lesson.

Finally, you go easy on the Stranger's Worst. He's kind of adorable in his efforts, honestly. Keep it up there, fella!

Troll, we know you better than you know yourself.

Well, nothing really. But you know what I appreciate about you?

I appreciate your dedication to attempting to troll in spite of the handicap of having zero, nay, negative skill at it. You make Bailo look subtle and Will in Seattle look smart. Somewhere, the ghost of Loveschild shakes her head in sadness every time you post. Seriously, in case you're missing the point: you suck at this. A lot.

And yet, despite the fact that every time you show up and make one of your pathetic attempts at derailing the thread you immediately get curb-stomped by every last person here (and I swear last time there were some elementary schoolkids getting some kicks in), you slink away, lick your wounds, and then convince yourself that next time, NEXT TIME, you're gonna finally manage to hold your own... and you open up your seeping pustule only to get a dozen boots jammed down it again.

Admit it: you're not really coming here to hunt, are you?

@20 Yes, that is the episode I mean. I didn't know it was based on Ms. Brawley at the time, though. I was pretty young and had never heard of her.

Funniest thing I read was a comment on a YouTube video: " As someone who has been branded by an enraged negro, your stunt has cheapened my pain..."

I think it's telling when a person's very first go-to explanation for a specific story's absence from a specific blog is "they must have PURPOSEFULLY omitted it because they secretly HATE [lesbians/transsexuals/homocons/women/gay men/white men/etc/etc/etc]!!!!11"

There's your surest sign of a drama-hungry victim complex, right there.

Something about that story reminded me of that woman in Vancouver who claimed a black woman threw acid in her face.

You mean the L&O episode based on the Tawana Brawley case?

And that was waaayy back. The very first season.
