Now this will be cited every time news breaks of an actual assault as "proof" that Trump supporters are all little angels who don't want to hurt anybody, well, directly anyway

It will be proof that all stories should be thoroughly investigated and not just taken at face value.
Not everyone tells the truth. Good for the MPD for investigating.
“The alleged victim admitted that he had made up the entire story,” saying he wanted to “raise awareness about things that are going on around the country.”
Will he be charged with filing a false report? We need more of that to prevent these problems. Oh, don't give me BS about it 'stifling the filing of reports'. The only stifling will be to the bullshit artists out there.
Oh, more actual assaults...not...
"News reports of claims of harassment and hateful graffiti by Trump supporters have abounded since the Nov. 8 election, but a number of high-profile cases have fallen apart. In Lafayette, La., a Muslim woman will be charged with filing a false report after she admitted to making up a story about two men — one in a Trump hat — robbing her of her wallet and her hijab head scarf. In Santa Monica, Calif., police said they could find no evidence an alleged beating of a gay man by Trump supporters had taken place."

I'm still waiting for the final report on the very serious civil rights violations and arson against the South Boston woman last March. You remember it, people in Southie were all toothless racists and mysigonigists and neck beard mouth breathers.
Well? Maybe AG can look into it, do a follow up.

Need to have real consequences, not a "pretty please don't do it again." Racism accusations can easily destroy one's life in today's jerky-knee Uber PC society.

did the wife of that police officer (i think they resided somewhere in central mass. grafton maybe? i forget) that said that #BLM messed up her house ever get in trouble? it turned out that she did it herself i think lol.

edit: http://people.com/crime/massachusetts-police-officer-wife-fakes-robbery-...

she was charged with filing a false police report and misleading an investigation, her husband was exonerated because obviously he knew nothing at all no sir

oh and it was millbury, not grafton.

-- Now this will be cited every time news breaks of an actual assault --

If it will make you feel better, I will try to cite these instead:

News reports of claims of harassment and hateful graffiti by Trump supporters have abounded since the Nov. 8 election, but a number of high-profile cases have fallen apart.

As I stated previously, most Trump supporters are ecstatic and have no interest in beating anybody. Very, very happy. Again, my hunch is that the Natick incident is a hoax also, like the others. Is the fake Malden case part of Maura Healy's "count" of Trump hate-crimes?

Sorry to rain on your parade Adam. This guy had you and the far left totally fooled.

I'd never even heard of this case until the Herald wrote about it. So I have nothing to retract.

Gotta add the label to this one, no?
