Gay Man Claims Hate Crime After Horses Barbecued in Barn

Brent Whitehouse is a gay man and an insurance salesman. On Easter Sunday at 11:30 at night, he discovered his barn ablaze with 8 horses inside. As the owner of the barn, he was somehow unable to open the barn door and free his horses. But lucky for him, anti-gay slurs were still visible on the sides of the barn, propelling him to national headlines as the latest sufferer of a hate crime. And because he is gay, his sense of reproduction is totally destroyed, so he compares killing horses to killing babies. And his barn was heavily insured so he will collect money any day now.

From the NYDailyNews here:

Eight horses – one just a week old and another ready to give birth – died in a raging barn fire in Ohio that lawmen think was set because of hatred for gays.

Brent Whitehouse of McConnelsville said an orange glow outside his home on Easter night drew him to the horror.

“I ran out there, but the doors of my barn wouldn’t open and suddenly, flames were shooting up through the roof. That barn was gone in five minutes,” he told the Zanesville Times Recorder.

The flames were so hot a tractor inside the barn melted.

Still visible on the remains of the gutted barn’s walls Tuesday were spray-painted epithets such as “fags are freaks” and “burn in hell.”

Because Whitehouse is gay and fire marshals determined the blaze was arson, the scrawlings were enough for authorities to launch an investigation into whether a hate crime had been committed.

The value of the horses was said to be in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

“I just don’t understand someone wanting to kill innocent animals. It’s like killing a child,” said Whitehouse.

I have documented so many times on this blog about self-loathing people faking hate crimes against themselves that is is cliche’ at this point. But I suspect that Brent Whitehouse set his own barn on fire and wrote those words on his own barn. He could collect the insurance money, be celebrated as the victim of a hate crime, get his name in every newspaper and get his own class of people some new rights above and beyond what normal people enjoy. Win, win, win, win, so long as he’s not caught.

I will believe this is a hate crime when Police and the Fire Marshall eliminate the number one suspect as the culprit- Brent Whitehouse. Barn fires that destroy the roof of a barn in 5 minutes were likely started inside the barn. I bet police will find that Mr. Whitehouse has a sudden financial need, recently purchased spray paint, and may also have recently suffered an emotional trauma such as a breakup, and this arson of his barn is his desperate cry for attention.
