    I’m shocked, I tell you, that the owner turned out to be the perp.

    If this dude were a Muslim it may have worked-but smart people honed in on his lies! HA HA HA!

    Hope he enjoys hangin’ with Bubba!

  • Bouncing Betties

    If it was a straight white man that did it he would be put in prison for at least 20 years. When will White America make a stand. I’m really starting to hate this country and all its lies.

    He isn’t going to jail only 2 years probation

  • l.barney

    JAIL sounds better, don’t you think. Plus Bubba could teach that lil wimp a thing or two.

    The Velvet Rope Ultra Lounge went up in flames in 2012. Up in Flames.

    How Ironic is that.

  • Phoenix_Damaged

    This sort of thing has happened before – several times. What is it with these people?
    Do they think that, even with a President who lights up the WH with colored lights, that they STILL don’t get enough attention?
    They were always sick, but now they seem to be getting sicker.

  • Mad Hatter

    Another left winger has to lie in order to be a victim. This isn’t the first time, or last time we’ll see a staged ‘hate crime’ by these losers.

  • Pegon Zellschmidt

    Hate crime hoaxers should be charged the same as a ‘hate crime’ criminal who would not have gotten off with two years of probation.

  • getthelibsout

    gay, lefty and stupid is NO way to go through life, poofy pants….shoulda sent his azz to the joint!

  • tyrannyofevilmen

    LOL. What a dumbass!

  • Jeff McCabe

    considering this guy is white, he would be part of White America.

  • Meh

    Another homosexual gets off with a slap on the limp wrist

  • Joseph Shmeau

    You have to admit that this isn’t the usual hoax “hate crime”.

    This is actually an insurance scam.

  • InVinoVeritas

    These faux hate crimes are committed repeatedly by any group wishing to be considered a victim under the Left’s umbrella of hatred. Black church burnings, nooses, anti-Semitic symbols and literature on campuses, Christian anti-homosexual “hate” speech, all of it, is nearly always a hoax inflicted by somebody trying to form a narrative, looking for a payday, or just a loser looking for attention – or promotion.

  • roccolore

    But liberals keep telling us gays are the victims now.

  • BillyBob Bob

    The condition for the perp’s two year probation is servicing the liberal judge.

  • Demonrat Plantation

    Sure is a lot of hate coming from the intolerant left

    I think my default position now when I read about gay-bashing or racism is skepticism. Too many fake incidents to believe any report on first glance.
