Hoax Alert: Homosexual Jewish Couple beaten up on Christmas Day (2016)
The craziness just keeps coming. This time we have an alleged ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ from Thornaby, Yorkshire in the United Kingdom and which it is claimed occurred on Christmas day back in 2016.
I quote JTA for the details of the incident:
‘The Christmas Day incident occurred outside a pub in the municipality of Thornaby, in North Yorkshire, according to Gazette Live, a Yorkshire news website.
Jayson Homer, 20, and his 21-year-old partner, who did not want to be named, were attacked and moderately injured outside the Jolly Farmers pub.
“At first a girl in the group started taking the mick out of me for being Jewish. Then another lad from the group came over saying being Jewish was a race,” the 21-year-old said. “I was disagreeing with him and it was just a little debate really at first.”
But then the girl “started shouting ‘queer’ at me. Every time I went to the toilet someone said it while I was walking past,” he said.
Homer and his partner left the pub but were followed by the alleged attackers, who punched them and hit them with bottles. According to the victims, they were followed by a group of 15 people.
The Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, a British watchdog group, characterized the incident in a report posted Thursday as a case involving victims who were “brutally assaulted by a gang hurling anti-Semitic and homophobic abuse.”
Homer said the incident has left him “feeling suicidal” and that he has undergone checks for potential brain damage. His partner also requires further checks. Their friend, Marc Vasey, 21, was told that he has nerve damage to his cheek.
“I was bottled in the face,” Homer said. “I couldn’t really see what was happening because they had knocked my glasses off and my eye was filled with blood.”’ (1)
The details of this ‘anti-Semitic hate crime’ seem kosher enough when looked at superficially.
However when we examine the story critically we note that there is a key detail missing in Homer’s version of the incident as reported by both the JTA and Gazette Live. (2)
This is simply; how did the attackers know that Homer and his male ‘partner’ were in fact jewish?
When we look at the accompanying video interview on Gazette Live which features Homer and his ‘female friend’ then we quickly realise that Homer doesn’t look stereotypically jewish. He does look like a stereotypical male homosexual – the name ‘Jayson’ certainly doesn’t help – however. (3)
So how did the attackers know that Homer and his anonymous male ‘partner’ were jewish?
Was the anonymous male ‘partner’ wearing a yarmulke or something in a working class pub in Yorkshire?
I doubt it.
So how did the attackers know?
You see that’s the thing: we aren’t told how they knew.
Then we’ve got the stereotypical claim that the attackers were arguing that jews were a racial group – which is correct as they are – but yet we are given little other details of the debate other than alleged ‘homophobia’.
Does this sound like it really happened to you?
Not really.
However more interesting is the fact that if you look at the video interview of Homer featured on Gazette Live. Two days after the incident; he has remarkably little in the way of facial injuries or bruising for someone who was allegedly beaten up and bottled – something that usually results in fairly horrific injuries – (4) by an armed gang of fifteen people resulting in doctors checking for brain damage.
I can believe that Homer and his friends were verbally abused and/or attacked, but what doesn’t make sense is the claim that this had anything to do with their jewishness and that they were assaulted by as many people or as viciously as they claim.
More likely is that they did something to antagonise the locals and a few regulars at the Jolly Farmers pub took it outside to give the prancing ninnies the hiding they should have been given b their parents.
This has almost certainly nothing to do with jewishness or anti-Semitism and is just another example of jews fabricating tall tales for attention.
