      XPost: misc.education, soc.women, alt.fashion       XPost: alt.rush-limbaugh       From: ross@gerberkawasaki.com              Fear gripped the small town of Denison, Tex., after 18-year-old       Breana Harmon Talbott burst into a church on a Wednesday night,       bleeding and wearing only a shirt, bra and underwear. She said       that three black men in ski masks had kidnapped her.              But that was not the worst of it.              “She told witnesses at the church she had been kidnapped and       sexually assaulted in the woods behind the church,” the Denison       County Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday.       “There were also visible cuts and/or scratches on her body.”              The March 8 incident was all over the local news, making “many       in the community fearful there were individuals abducting       women,” police said. Social media erupted so explosively, the       police chief attempted to calm the community in a March 15 post       on the Denison Police Department Facebook page.              Still no arrests were made, no suspects named.              “We all need to stay alert and make sure that there are warnings       issued to all young women, middle aged women and yes even older       women that this has happened,” posted one Facebook user. “Lord       find these animals give them what thay deserve,” posted another.              The story caught the attention of far right websites, which       focused on the alleged suspects’ race. Many seemed angry over a       perceived lack of media coverage.              It was posted five times to a Donald Trump subreddit. One       headline read, “Three black man kidnapped and gang raped an       engaged 18 year old white girl yesterday. IF THE RACES WERE       REVERSED, THIS WOULD BE NATIONAL NEWS. THESE MEN DESERVE TO BE       HANGED.”              The message board Stormfront, which promotes white-nationalist       ideologies, posted a 19-page thread titled, “Beautiful 18 year       old White girl (who happened to be race traitor) kidnapped and       raped by 3 negroes.” It is unclear why she’s labeled a “race       traitor.” Neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer also picked up the       story.              Whites need a mafia… so if you want to rape a white girl like       Breana Talbott the white mafia finds you and your family and       puts you down              — Parriah (@PParriah) March 11, 2017              In Denison,Tx,18 year old named Breana Talbott went missing       yesterday and found a few hours later,alive.Brutally gang raped       by black thugs.              — Al Gouhti (@AlGouhti) March 10, 2017              On Wednesday, nearly two weeks after Talbott burst into the       church, police said called her story a “hoax” and the       allegations deemed “officially UNFOUNDED.” In a statement, the       police chief admonished Talbott for the turmoil she caused in       the community and for making offensive claims about African       Americans.              “The so-called victim in the case confessed to the hoax last       evening (March 21) to a member of the investigative team working       the case,” read a news release by the Denison Police Chief Jay       Burch. “Talbott’s hoax was also insulting to our community and       especially offensive to the African-American community due to       her description of the so-called suspects in her hoax.”              “The department will file a criminal case against her for False       Report to a Peace Officer, a Class B Misdemeanor” and will “seek       restitution for the significant costs for conducting such a       major investigation,” Burch’s statement said.              Talbott was booked into the Grayson County Correctional Facility       in Sherman, Tex., according to online records. It is unclear if       she has been released.              The Denison Police Department declined to comment when contacted       by The Washington Post on Wednesday night.              [Denison Police: Sexual assault case unfounded]              Sam Hollingsworth, Talbott’s fiance at the time, first called       police March 8 to report she was missing after finding her car       in the parking lot of her apartment complex, which is less than       two miles from the church where she turned up partially clothed.              “Her back door wide open, phone keys right over here, phone case       was broken, right over in this area over here, I found one of       her shoes,” Hollingsworth, told KXII.              Police began searching, using a K-9 team.              Talbott reappeared about three hours later, stumbling into the       New Creation Church.              “She was just in her T-shirt, with scratches on her, she was       trembling she was so afraid,” congregation member Ana Bermudez       told KXII.              The church’s pastor, Saul Marquez, told Fox 4: “She was in bad       shape. She was bleeding. They had to bring some sheets to cover       her up and try to calm her down.”              “I can’t really describe how she looked, it’s just awful, it       tore me up really badly,” Hollingsworth told KXII, adding that       Talbott said she was robbed of “four rings, our engagement ring,       class ring and a necklace in the shape of a heart.”              “She said she was sexually assaulted and three black males in a       black SUV took her,” Denison Police Lt. Mike Eppler told the       Dallas Morning News. “[The vehicle] went down a bumpy road and       that’s the only thing that she could tell us, so right now we’re       really wanting information.”              She also said the men wore ski masks.              She was taken to the Texoma Medical Center in Denison, where       police said they first became suspicious of her story.              “Almost from the beginning, we had doubts in Breana Harmon       Talbott’s story as the puzzle pieces just weren’t coming       together,” the police chief said in a statement. “We were unable       to corroborate any of Talbott’s allegations that she had been       abducted or sexually assaulted.”              “Although I do not have the official report, it is our       understanding that medical personnel who examined Talbott were       unable to corroborate that Talbott had been sexually assaulted,”       the statement said.              Still, the hunt for the three attackers continued. In a Facebook       post, Talbott’s mother wrote, “This is going to be a brutally       honest post. Today my daughter was taken by force by 3 black       men. 2 raped her and she is cut head to toe by a knife. …       Someone had to have saw something!!! This town is small, if       anyone, anyone hears ANYTHING, please call the Denison Police       Department,” according to several news organizations that screen       captured the now-deleted post.              It is unclear why Talbott confessed on Tuesday. She told police       her wounds were self-inflicted.              “According to Talbott’s confession, we believe the crime scene —       from the initial ‘kidnapping’ scene at the apartment complex to       the point of Talbott’s condition when she walked into the church       — were staged,” Burch’s statement said.              Hollingsworth claimed to know nothing of the “hoax.”              “I was hurt. It was hard to take in whenever I found out about       everything,” he told KDFW. “Somebody that I actually trusted and       was planning on spending the rest of my life with could do       something like this to me and everybody else in this community.”              “We have mixed emotions on a case like this,” Burch said in a       news conference Wednesday afternoon, the Herald Democrat       reported. “We’re happy it didn’t occur, but there could be       permanent damage as a result — a damage of relationships within              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
