The laid back and trendy college town of Iowa City was plunged into turmoil a little over two weeks ago, after a black University of Iowa freshman claimed that three white men had viciously attacked him in the downtown and called him a racial slur. A media firestorm ensued, with the first report airing on a Chicago news station. Iowa City police quickly declared they were investigating a possible hate crime and even consulted with the FBI. City and university officials were on the defensive. Social justice warriors held protests.
The hate crime, however, turned out to be a hoax – just as more than a few observers had suspected all along.

“He will use the “I was just trying to raise awareness” excuse.”
It worked. We are aware. Liberal minorities are stupid liars.
Whatever the level before, this will surely make it worse. Some of his homies should teach him a lesson.
Incredibly, officials do not plan to charge Owens with filing a false police report or demand that he compensate the city for the drain his hate crime claim put on police and university resources
I wonder if an Iowa City taxpayer could sue the SOB for restitution to the city.
Iowa City and the University of Iowa have had multiple hate crime hoaxes over the years. Letting this SOB off scot-free sends the wrong message. Instead, they should have made an example of him.
Ferguson, Mo. take note ... that's exactly what happened with the Gentle Giant incident. Nice quote, Captain!
Idiot, self hating white liberals. Glad they were on a wild goose chase, taking their time and money.
It certainly does. The guy is the same kind of scoundrel that we see in the bible who is used to generate false testimony so that the target person could either be hung or crucified. Our legal system was designed with this danger in mind but Obama has corrupted it.
Heck... Liveleak is full of black people being beaten and calle “racial slurs.”. By other blacks.
We need to form a non-profit group that sues these lowlifes...
What folks don’t know is that after the Byrd-dragging incident, the exact same thing happened in the area a year or so later, but the races were reversed so the media had no interest.
That is, a white man was dragged to death by blacks.
As an aside, one of the perps in the Byrd incident was previously raped by black men.
Interesting...didn’t know that.
