College Hate Crime HOAX, Student Pleads GUILTY To Slashing Her OWN FaceMarch 8, 2017 Share this story Halley Bass, 21, pled guilty on Monday to fabricating a hate crime story, where she said a white male attacker slashed her face with a safety pin, in Michigan. It turned out she became frightened during a discussion in her women’s literature class, and scratched her own face with a safety pin. “I had been in a discussion in my women’s lit weirdly and there were a few people in my class that sort of said some things that scared me,” Bass said. “I was suffering from depression at the time,” Bass told Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines. “I made a superficial scratch on my face. It was visible and I was embarrassed about what I’d done. So I made up a story and told a friend that a stranger had done it while I was walking. I was encouraged to report it to the police. I made the mistake of doing that.” Mlive has the full report: A 21-year-old Ann Arbor woman pleaded guilty as charged to one count of false report of a misdemeanor in 15th District Court on Monday, March 6. Halley Bass admitted in court that she fabricated a story about a strange man scratching her face in downtown Ann Arbor on Nov. 15. “I was suffering from depression at the time,” Bass told Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines. “I made a superficial scratch on my face. It was visible and I was embarrassed about what I’d done. So I made up a story and told a friend that a stranger had done it while I was walking. I was encouraged to report it to the police. I made the mistake of doing that.” At the time, Bass claimed her attack was part of the surge in hate crimes following the election of Donald Trump a week earlier. She told police she was targeted for wearing a solidarity pin connected to Great Britain’s “Brexit” vote. Bass admitted to scratching her own face with the pin after becoming upset during a Woman’s Literature class at the University of Michigan, according to the Ann Arbor Police Department report. Bass and her Ann Arbor-based attorney, Douglas Mullkoff, requested that she be sentenced through the 15th District’s mental health court. Hines said if court officials determine Bass is eligible, Bass will be sentenced by Judge Karen Valvo in that court on March 22. Bass originally told police that she got out of class at Angell Hall around 1 p.m. and walked to the Starbuck’s on the corner of East Liberty Street and South State Street, but left because it was too crowded, according to the report. Bass said she then went to the Michigan Theater down Liberty to see what movies were playing and that while she was passing by “Graffiti Alley” a short time later a man attacked her, slashing her face with what she believed was a safety pin, the report said. Bass told police the attack was likely prompted by the Brexit pin. “(The) person must have seen the pin and picked on me,” Bass said, according to the report. “That’s my best guess. No other reason why he would be targeting me.” Police asked Bass if something like that ever happened to her before. “I’ve heard of other people experiencing incidents recently, but not to me,” she said. The police noted several scratches on her face. Bass described the suspect as an approximately 45-year-old white male, with stubble on his face, wearing a black baseball hat pulled low over his face, a gray hoodie with the hood down and sweat pants. She has now admitted to making up the suspect.

Most Say ‘No’ to More Public Anti-Trump Role for Obama in Politics FacebookTwitterEmail thisShareThis Related Articles Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Obama Closes With Highest Approval of His Second Term 45% Say U.S. Heading in Right Direction Most Say Democrats Hurt Themselves With Anti-Trump Strategy 83% Say Trump Likely to Erase Most of Obama's Achievements Unlike Obama, Voters Say Media No Help to Trump Sign up for free daily updates Thursday, March 09, 2017 Former President Obama is reportedly planning a more visible stand against President Trump and the GOP to protect his legacy, but most voters think that’s a bad idea. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 30% of Likely U.S. Voters believe Obama should take a more public role in the Democratic opposition to Trump and his party. Nearly twice as many (58%) disagree and say the former president should not more actively oppose his successor and the GOP. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Even Democrats are lukewarm to the idea of Obama’s reemergence: 45% say he should take a more active role in opposition to Trump and the Republicans, but 39% disagree, with 15% not sure. Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major party by a 58% to 28% margin say Obama should not take a more public opposing role. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. The national survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on March 2 and 5, 2017 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Fieldwork for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC . See methodology. Most voters agree that it’s bad for America - and bad for the Democratic Party - if Democrats continue to flat out oppose everything Trump does. Even Democrats are conflicted about their party’s scorched earth policy. The majority of voters in most demographic categories oppose a more public opposing role for the former president. Those under 40 are more enthusiastic than their elders about Obama getting out front in the opposition to Trump and the GOP. Other minority voters like the idea more than whites and blacks do. Yet even among voters who Strongly Disapprove of the job Trump is doing, just 48% believe Obama should take a more public role opposing him and his party. Among those who Strongly Approve of the new president’s job performance, 81% say Obama should not become a more public opposing voice. Obama earned a monthly job approval of 56% in December, his final full month in office. That tied his highest overall approval in four years. But a number of Rasmussen Reports’ regular social and economic indicators have shown increased optimism since Trump’s election in November. For the last six weeks, the number of voters who believe the country is headed in the right direction has been in the mid-40s after running in the mid- to upper 20s for much of last year. This is higher than any week during the entire Obama presidency. Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters think Trump is likely to reverse or abolish most of Obama’s accomplishments, with 47% who say that’s Very Likely. Voters agree with the new president’s emphasis on job creation in his speech last week to Congress, and most expect him to achieve at least some of the ambitious agenda he laid out. Fifty percent (50%) think Trump will do better than Obama when it comes to protecting U.S. jobs and creating new ones. Thirty-four percent (34%) say the new president will do a worse job in this area than his predecessor. If there’s one thing voters across the partisan spectrum agree on, it’s that the media isn’t trying to help Trump. That’s a big change from the Obama years.
