Credit to Andy Ngo who posted the details of this story on Twitter today. It started earlier this week with what appeared to be a serious crime. A 39-year-old man in San Diego named Scott Rowin said he was harassed and then set on fire by a couple of men who targeted him because he is gay.
Last Monday night, Rowin says stopped by The Loft on Fifth Avenue and inquired about a job. He left past 8 p.m. and headed south, towards his downtown apartment, intending to call an Uber.
His memory is hazy, but somewhere within a few blocks, he heard what sounded like two people yelling gay slurs.
Rowin says he yelled back and then heard footsteps coming up behind him.
As he turned around, he says he caught a quick glimpse of one of the people, a man in his 20s or 30s. At the same time, he says a liquid was thrown at him, with the consistency of water.
“Immediately after that, I went up like coals on a barbecue. It started off really big,” said Rowin.
Rowin suffered second-degree burns on his side and back, photos of which he shared with news outlets. He said he was absolutely convinced the attack was a hate crime and added that the only people who would be walking around with “flammable liquid” would be someone out to target “the LGBT community.” He filed a police report and said he wanted to raise awareness that “There are still a lot of haters out there.”

Annnd a woman beater besides....
Who would do such a thing?
“Yes I remember that garage door incident. The anti-gay slurs were painted on the garage door of a house where two lesbians lived.”
I remember that too. We called it a hoax and we were correct.
Lets be honest shall we? No one has attacked gays since AIDS. I remember when AIDS first came on the scene and they were dying of it in hospital. Nurses would leave their food outside the door and not bring it in to them because they were so afraid of catching the disease. It was the COVID of it’s day. Really not even COVID more like leprosy.
In my state a gay man with the AIDS jumped into a pool in the early 90’s and everyone jumped out in panic. That pool was drained and cleaned extremely well. I’ll be honest with you I’m all but shocked that guy ended up dying of AIDS and did not end up at the bottom of a coal mine. It’s probably because he had the AIDS he did not. Yes this is the same story you saw on Oprah too. When he died of the AIDS shortly after he was buried beside his parents but the other family had their loved ones moved so he sat alone in the grave yard.
I gotta admit, that was a Good One!
Called it!
Pierced lip gave it away
Yup. Saw this one coming.
You always know they’re hoaxes when the “crime” details are too formulaic to be true. These homopervs have absolutely no creativity, despite the overplayed stereotype.
He neglected to mention that the homophobes screamed out “THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY”. /sarc
I saw the first report and my first thought was “hoax.”
Um...he actually was flaming for a little while.
How would they know he is a queer?
My Spidey-senses started going off the instant I read the first report, a la Juicy Smolyay..
I think every freeper on earth did too. 😆😀
I wonder if he will be interviewed byRobin Roberts?
“Oh it was a real female because only a faggot would attack a pregnant woman. Think about it.”
Probably called her a breeder and a cow.
Yeah ... we’ve developed a pretty good collective nose for this sort of thing.
In that case, I can't find any on-line evidence that the incident was ever shown to be a hoax, in the sense that Lindsay and Charles actually did the graffiti themselves, although no one was ever charged for having done so.
Another, similar case was that of Carol Ann and Laura Jean Stutte, of Vonore, Tennessee. They claimed a long-running dispute with a neighbor who supposedly objected to their lifestyle. They not only painted anti-homosexual graffiti on their garage, but (in 2010) also burned the house down. It was eventually proved to be a hoax in court; their reason was to commit insurance fraud, to the tune of $276K.
They were never charged with any crime, but they didn't get the insurance money either. The neighbor was exonerated.
Another one happened in Lincoln, Nebraska, back in 2012. The "victim" was named Charlie Rogers, a former member of the University of Nebraska basketball team. She had nasty words carved into her flesh, and her house was set on fire but was only damaged. She was sentenced to a 90 day jail term after her trial for the hoax, but "never showed up" when it came time for her to start her term of imprisonment.
I’d sure like to know how she set him on fire while getting beat bloody. A cigarette lighter?
