Police: Student lied about reported racially motivated beating (Not charged with lying to police)
KCCI ^

Police said a black University of Iowa student lied about being the victim of a racially motivated beating and that he instigated at last one of several alcohol-fueled fights.

Marcus Owens told police that he was attacked April 30 by three white men who hurled racial slurs as they damaged his eye socket and knocked out his front teeth.

The alleged hate crime stoked safety concerns and distrust among some minority students in the university.

But police said Tuesday that his report was false. Investigators obtained surveillance video showing Owens had been a participant and instigator of fights that started inside a bar and continued outside.

Owens will not be charged, and police won't seek restitution to cover the cost of the investigation. He and his family issued an apology.

Obama carried Iowa 2012. I suppose four years of this limp wrist African homo wasn’t enough.

Seems Iowa is rapidly becoming a nut case state.
I lean towards Catholics being the conduit of its insanity.

Yeah, just think if there was no video, and he named someone or picked someone out of a lineup like the Duke stripper...you think any of these accusers would have an attack of conscience? They’d let an innocent person rot in jail and ruin their life.

The black woman who sent the hoax tweet (or whatever) at Kean College in NJ is probably going to jail (I believe for six months); she has been denied PTI. They shut down the campus and all; they couldn’t avoid taking action

NJ is liberal on many things, but race isn’t one of them (yet).

The soft bigotry of low expectations; as a black person he must have a single-digit IQ (from the state’s point of view), so there is no culpability...

Another day, another hoax investigated on the taxpayer dime. Politically correct Police file no charges just like the Gay Pastor trying to sue Whole Paycheck in Texas on bogus accusations. No consequences, no lesson learned. Give them all a fricking Trophy.
