A 26-year-old man who claimed he was stabbed after being mistaken for a “neo-Nazi,” admitted to local Colorado police that he made up the whole story after he accidentally cut himself with a knife, according to The Denver Post and BuzzFeed.

On Aug. 16, the man, Joshua Witt, told Sheridan, Colorado police that a man had approached him while he was getting out of his car in a Steak ’n Shake parking lot and tried to stab him.

Witt’s false report came days after a white nationalist rally turned violent in Charlottesville, Virginia earlier this month. A man affiliated with the white nationalist group has been charged with second degree murder for allegedly driving his car through a crowd of counter protesters, killing one woman.

Witt posted photos of his injuries on Facebook shortly after, saying he “apparently” looked like a “neo-Nazi and got stabbed for it. … Luckily I put my hands up to stop it so he only stabbed my hand.” The post has since been removed, BuzzFeed reported.

1. and yet, he actually is a nazi.

stupid fuck.

[bettyellen]

2. Ironically, he's into the idea of killing people based on "what they look like"

[Javaman]

4. astute observation. :)

yes, very ironic.

11. It's strange how they always accuse others of doing exactly what they do!

Case in point- years of DTs tweets about golf, pay to play corruption and emails about secret deals. Crazy.

3. "CoinTelPro" has lost it's touch.

5. Oh my, I never would have imagined...

6. what is it about these guys always having to be the victim? Always the focus on them? nt

7. The fact that he IS a Nazi, makes me think it goes even further...

he cut himself on purpose—not accidentally—to pull this fake attack.

9. I asked the Moderator on another mixed political forum that I am on if he could merge the

Original fake news thread regarding this accusation with the thread explaining this truthful revelation so that we can better appreciate the ANTIFA WINGNUTTERY that has been created by right wing media in the aftermath of Charlottesville in an effort to deflect from the evils of white supremacy. For two weeks, every right wing poster has to add the term antifa in every post motivated by false equivalency wingnuttery........LOL

12. Wow. I actually didn't expect that one to be fake.

There was another similar story that I found extremely questionable, but this one sounded like it could have easily just been an unhinged person (I guess in the end it was. hah!) Not sure I buy the "accidentally cut myself" line. Whether seeking to discredit liberals or just seeking attention, I'd wager he did it on purpose.

13. I saw this today

and posted to FB with a question to my right leaning friends.....If there is no racism in this country why do people who report false attacks ALWAYS say a black man attacked them?

I'm pretty sure everybody here knows why, our country is racist AF. I felt the need to plant a seed of thought in people who deny there is a race problem in our country.
