Biden awards first-ever Smollett Medal to Hillcrest burn victim
Living His Truth
Shortly before Biden hung the medal on Rowin, the President addressed the controversy, asking: “If he’s a liar, how come it wasn’t his pants that were on fire?” A tearful Jussie Smollett looked on, and added, “I’m just grateful that there are other people willing to follow my brave example and come forward with these accounts of right-wing hate, however true or false they may be.”
According to area homosexual Scott Rowin, he was assaulted by multiple men in Hillcrest during Pride Month, men who doused him with flammable liquid and set him on fire while shouting gay slurs. He suffered multiple second-degree burns, and declared that the event was “absolutely a hate crime. In my opinion, they were obviously out there targeting the LGBT community.” But according to the San Diego Police Department, Rowin is suspected of assaulting a pregnant woman in Hillcrest, a woman who then set him on fire in self-defense before being left injured and bleeding. Nevertheless, this week, President Biden awarded Rowin the first-ever Smollett Medal, an honor given to Americans who are “brave enough to shine a light by speaking up after experiencing violent hate crimes.”
Reached for comment, Biden’s spokesman noted, “Really, it’s a matter of perspective. An obvious breeder walking around in a gay district during Pride month is definitely a incendiary act, one that could be considered an attack of sorts. Further, no one is contesting whether or not someone set Rowin on fire. Finally, it was definitely a man who made her pregnant, so really, it was a man who instigated the attack. Shame on the SDPD for taking their video footage of the event so glaringly out of context.”
