No one wants to be callous towards victimized people, but it's only rational to keep in mind that one study showed that 7 of the 10 hate crimes that got the most media coverage turned out to be hoaxes.

You can't understand human behaviour through rationality alone. Sometimes a little empathy is needed.

How to choose those "some" times ?? When to be rational when to be blindly empathetic ..isn't it rational to be rational all the time ??

I never said we should be "blindly" empathetic. Empathy can help us understand motivations, but my argument doesn't rest on feelings alone. Whatever the truth of this particular attack, it remains a fact that gay people are subject to discrimination worldwide.

Dubious. London is not just a giant swanky coffee shop full of left-wing academics and liberal media types. Large swathes of it are filled with louts and religious bigots who would murder their own children if they discovered they were gay.
