From the Daily Tar Heel:
Quinn Matney was having trouble sleeping.
As the freshman took a walk on South Campus at about 3 a.m. on April 4, he said he ran into an acquaintance on the Craige Residence Hall footbridge. As the two spoke, a man sitting at a nearby picnic table stood up and grabbed him by the wrist, he said.
“Here’s a taste of hell you f—-ing fag,” Matney remembered the man saying.
The man branded Matney, who is gay, on the left wrist with an unidentified object, causing third- and fourth-degree burns that damaged three nerves and a tendon, leaving the freshman with no feeling in his thumb and limited mobility in his index finger, he said.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced Tuesday evening that an earlier report of an alleged anti-gay hate crime on his campus was a false report.
Freshman Quinn Matney had told police he was attacked by a man on the university’s South Campus during the early morning hours of April 4. He said the man had branded him with an unidentified object and used an anti-gay slur.
“The Department of Public Safety has determined that the alleged aggravated assault reported to campus last night did not occur,” UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said in a statement. “That report, filed with campus police on April 5, was false. The University will not report it as a hate crime.”
What a douche
