Attack on Muslim was false?

Muslim woman filed false report of Trump supporter subway attack

A Muslim student who said she was harassed on the subway by drunken, hate-spewing white men shouting “Donald Trump!” found herself behind bars Wednesday after telling cops she made the whole story up.

Yasmin Seweid, 18, joined a growing list of local and national alleged hate crime victims when she told cops that she was taunted Dec. 1 on the No. 6 train by three men who called her a terrorist and tried to snatch her hijab off her head while straphangers did nothing but watch.

But Seweid finally broke down and admitted to detectives that it was all a big lie.

“Nothing happened, and there was no victim,” a police source said.

“We dedicated a lot of resources to this — and don’t get me wrong, this is what we do — but we had guys going back and forth, looking for video and witnesses. And we couldn’t find anything.”

It was not immediately clear why Seweid lied to the police — and the media — about such a sensitive topic.

Seweid, a Baruch College student, has been charged with filing a false report and was awaiting arraignment late Wednesday.

Seweid claimed straphangers stood by and did nothing while the trio mocked her and tried to tear the religious garb from her head. Seweid even provided police a description of the suspects, one of whom cops at one point thought they spotted on video following her when she got off the subway at Grand Central Terminal.

For a while, police believed inconsistencies in her story to be nothing more than typical lapses by someone who was traumatized. The doubts increased when detectives could not find witnesses or any significant video. She left home and was reported missing on Thursday — only to turn up safe and sound on Friday. Suspicion went through the roof.

On Wednesday, after again being confronted with questions from detectives, Seweid admitted she made it all up, citing family problems. The police source said charging her with a crime was appropriate.

So is New York Daily news fake news?

[andy7171]

Just like most of the other "hate" crimes, they are done by the victim party to get attention.

[GannonFan]

There was a similar case just outside of Philly on Villanova's campus - student said she was harassed and taunted by a gang of guys running by cheering Trump. Apparently the evidence didn't bear that out and the "victim" decided not to press charges. They didn't take it as far as the New York one and charge the "victim" with making a false claim, but it was a college campus and they tend not to do that kind of thing there.

A second case, also in Philly, had a black guy painting swatzikas and pro-Trump stuff on Election night. Apparently wasn't a Trump supporter, he was just trying to harass his ex-wife/girlfriend.

Cops: Man faked 'KKK' hate crime, own kidnapping after lighting car on fire

orlandosentinel.com ^ | December 12, 2016 | Stephanie Allen

Police say a Volusia County man faked a hate crime, set his ex-girlfriend's car on fire and then staged his own abduction to throw off detectives. Vincent Palmer, 27, told detectives he taped a note with racial slurs and the words "KKK" and "Trump" written on it to his ex-girlfriend's mailbox early Saturday before throwing a brick through her car window and dousing the back seat in gasoline because they were having problems over the custody of their children, according to an arrest report.

She's kind of hot. "Family problems"? Maybe she had to fight off her old man.

They're even hotter after they hit the clacker.

And here is another one:

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Police in Michigan on Wednesday debunked a Muslim student's allegation that was widely cited as an example of a spike in anti-Muslim incidents in the wake of Donald Trump's presidential victory.

The woman reported in mid-November that a man approached her near the University of Michigan campus and threatened to set her on fire if she didn't remove her hijab. The Ann Arbor Police Department said in a statement that "following a thorough investigation, detectives have determined the incident in question did not occur."

Of course, the Muslin "useful idiots" at CAIR claim otherwise...

[CID1990]

Police need to be charging people with making false reports and they need to be getting actual jail time.

That will nip this shit in the bud.

The only reason kalm isn't a "dem supporter" is because the party is too close to the middle for his liking.
