lists.grabien.com/list-hate-crime-hoaxesThese crimes span close to a 20 year period. It's probably not an all-inclusive list, of course. If you click on the titles, a drop-down box will open up with a synopsis of sorts on the article.

My thought is that faking a hate crime should carry the same penalty as would be given to someone who actually committed such a crime.
Not only does such an act have the potential to ruin the life of an innocent person, but it also makes it harder for real victims of hate crime to be taken seriously.
Of course, I also think that our modern society is far to quick to label all sorts of things as hate crimes.
