BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Bowling Green police are exposing Bowling Green State University student Eleesha Long as a liar after she allegedly concocted a story about being attacked by Trump supporters the day after his historic election victory.bowlinggreen

Long alleged on Facebook that she was walking down Crim Street to ask for yard signs when three white males wearing Trump shirts yelled profanity her way and threw rocks at her, but she did not report the incident to police, ABC 13 reports.

Long’s post drew a significant reaction online, which caught the attention of Bowling Green police. Officers contacted the 24-year-old’s parents, who said they had not heard from her since the incident. A campus police officer took long to the police for a statement, which is when he story began to unravel, according to the news site.

The best part of this story is the comment.....



Jeez. There are so many misspelled words and incorrect uses of English in this story that I can't believe it was posted. Complainant is the word you want, not "complaintant."

"A campus police officer took long to the police for a statement, which is when he story began to unravel, according to the news site." Long is a name, capitalize it. "he" is a female from your opening sentence.

"Police charged long with falsifying a police report..."

If you're going to be a journalist, learn to write.


Amen young blonde chick. I have had it with the high number articles that are misspelled, poorly worded, lacking any grammar.

Anyone ever hear of proofreading?

As opposed to low number articles?

So, what do you think of Long's fabrication?

What do you think he thinks?  Why would you even ask that?

Because that is the topic he immediately derailed.

He didn't derail it; he commented on the quality of the writing.
