Calum McSwiggan's post on Instagram stating he was the victim of a homophobic assault
There is a rise in gay people faking hate
crimes against themselves. Previously, the Judiciary Report
wrote about the case of a gay man, who beat himself and set
his home on fire, stating he was attacked by homophobes (Man Confesses To Police He Beat Himself Up, Carved Gay Slur Into His
Arm, Set His Home On Fire And Filed Hate Crime Police Complaint
Blaming It On Homophobia For Attention).
Another high profile case of gays faking
homophobic attacks has surfaced. You Tube gay vlogger, Calum
McSwiggan, has been charged with filing a false police
report, for faking a homophobic attack on himself. He has
also been charged with vandalism. The charges are
misdemeanors, punishable by jail time and fines. He has been
released on $20,000 bail pending trial or a plea deal.
McSwiggan filed a police report stating he
was attacked by three homophobes outside a gay bar in Los
Angeles, but police found no injuries on him. However, they
did witness McSwiggan vandalizing a police car. Then, while
they had him in custody and he thought no one was watching,
police officers observed as he inflicted injuries on himself
with "the handle and receiver of a payphone inside the
cell."

McSwiggan began to beat himself with the
phone receiver, which due to their design and composition,
can do a lot of damage to a person. McSwiggan used the
payphone receiver to give himself three broken teeth and a
head injury that required six stitches. McSwiggan blamed his
injuries on homophobes outside the club and stated, "The
authorities should have been there to help and protect me."
This misconduct resulted in criminal charges being filed
against McSwiggan.
There are gay people who have actually been
attacked, some killed, over their sexual choices (Transgender
People In Legal Trouble For Deceiving Straight People Into
Sex While Others Are Killed Over Sexual Deceit ). It
is wrong to attack anyone, gay or straight. People have a
right to dwell in safety. Having written that, I must also
state, going around faking hate crimes is a terrible idea.
It will make the public less likely to believe gays who say
they have been attacked. Remember the story of "The
Boy who Cried Wolf" and take note.
