Maybe more telling details will come forth, maybe she just set her self on fire. People have done that and worse many times in the past.

Some people these days are just plain stupid and for all I know her car was about to be repossessed, and so to make sure that didn't happen 'we created a hate crime'

I hope i am wrong. But with women flushing new borns down the toilet/ dumpsters, driving car loads of toddlers into water , and ect ain't nuthin' surprises me much anymore.
Pretty sad what we've become.......in 30, 40 yrs it's scary to think what the norm will be

Did the news station say KKK? I don't think you read the OP and maybe should before you step in any more of what has been spread around here. I am not defending the KKK but I do want to see some proof that it was KKK members before I go off half-cocked blaming them. I think that I mentioned that I didn't know they had changed their uniforms from white hoods over white sheets to white hoodies. Maybe that has happened but I sure didn't know about it.

I think I am bothered as much about this incident as anybody here but there just aren't enough facts showing yet. I will do a Google for all you libs.

Yea, you are diminishing this incident. Whites will kill a white person today too.

In any case, it doesn't matter to me if the KKK did it, i just hope the perpetrators are caught. That's all that really matters here.

Sure sounds like you are defending the KKK. I agree that we don't know who committed this act, but I'm not the type of person that automatically jumps to the defense of the Klan and yells out innocent until proven guilty. Being a Hispanic person I'm a bit biased against the KKK

Here is the most recent article Google has, one hour old. It is much more carefully written than the OP's article and much more recent. It is also from CBS and everybody knows that they never lie, right?

racism is everywhere, but to even suggest somthing like this is so out of line...You are basing this entire thing on something you read in blog...If it is true how horrible, but if it is cooked up, it is even worse....

Was that case eventually proven to be a hoax? I think there are suspicions but a quick google search didn't really give me a solid answer.

I don't know what to think in this case and will wait until the police investigate thoroughly. It wouldn't be the first real attack or fake attack that went wrong or whatever so why bother speculating because it doesn't matter to me either way as it's just one incident.

Sheesh, so much crazyness around here.

1st case the victim has 1st degree burns, which is basically equal to a sun burn. 2nd case has 3rd degree burns, which sometimes results in amputation and severe scarring. Yet people are quick to call the 2nd case a hoax. I doubt the women did this to herself and I'm not really sure who committed this act, but as I stated, I'm not the type of person that instinctly jumps to the defense of the Klan
