A West Virginia man who claimed to be the victim of a drive-by shooting along a rural Montana highway while working on a memoir called “Kindness in America” has confessed to shooting himself, authorities said Friday.

Valley County sheriff’s officials said they believe 39-year-old Ray Dolin shot himself as a desperate act of self-promotion, but they offered no further details.

I wonder how much play this story will get? The original demonized white males.

Someone needs to compile a list of media-celebrity “liberal victims” of self-inflicted crimes. The farthest back that comes to mind for me is Tawana Brawley. Shall we begin a brainstorm session here?
