fake hate crimes: a database of hate crime hoaxes in the usa



The purpose of this site is to compile a comprehensive database of the false reports of "hate crimes" committed (mostly) in the USA. It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are also recommended.

summary
Brendan O'Neill remembers the media-generated hysteria about the death of Arek Jozwik, a Polish man killed when a teenager hit him in a late night drunken fight - he fell over and his head hit the concrete. There was never a shred of evidence of racial motivation in the killing. When the killer was sentenced, the media just reported it, and said nothing more. No apology for their libellous claims that the town of Harlow is full of racists. That voting for the UK to leave the EU is evidence of homicidal hatred of foreigners.
