OT: This story kind of reminds me of Bosun Kathryn Krebbs...

...in that she
faked her own burn attack to get revenge on Guybrush in Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4
. This story is a repeat that would make her proud:

    I think it was more upsetting that she went out of her way to say that an black woman did it. My sympathies to her, however, because she obviously has some problems.

    I doubt that has anything to do with it. It was about her getting attention, not incriminating somebody or making a certain race of people look bad. Remember, it's unlikely that she filed a report and said "a black woman did this to me" and more likely that the superficial aspects of the imaginary suspect were given when asked for (ethnicity and appearance is a key part of identifying a culprit).

    Anyway, I'm anticipating quite a bit of hatred towards this woman when this story starts getting a lot of TV airplay, which is a shame because she's obviously in a state where she craves positive attention. Hopefully she'll get some help before she suffers too much as a result of this.
