This dudes story did not seem plausible from the get go. So why did the left and the media run with it? Think about it! You all are to believe that two white guys in MAGA hat went to whoop ass on this poor down trodden black actor in his own turf? The brazenness of those Trump loving goons!!!! Is this a believable story? Did you believe it? Now in my mind, my first thought was bullshit? I would be hard pressed to find two Trump supporters that would know who this dude is. No way could I find two that would give a shit about what this fellow is stressed about. Then take the real logic test. Where are you going to find two white Trump supporters with MAGA hatss, and dumb enough to go into that guys neighborhood and wait to ruff him up??? No chance for profit here! The risk is ridiculously high.
It was obvious something was wrong from the beginning but I didn't know if he was still a victim or if he was part of it. I honestly thought it more likely that an ex or someone's boyfriend did it to get him and make it look like someone else did it. I did like seeing Kamala Harris say she is waiting for all the facts....NOW. Not when it first happened but now.
Here's the only logical answer you can give. I learned my lesson from the Covington kid garbage and judging from a short video and nothing else.
If Smollett in fact staged this, as seems to be coming to light, then he has brought a detriment to blacks and other minority groups who constantly experience hate crimes. He has spit in the face of social movements towards equality. I haven't said anything about this, till now but have been following it. From the beginning it seemed rather strange, but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I don't get why people will fake shit like this. This is like Ashley Todd back in 08. Someone who thinks they can pull a fast one, without realizing how easy it is to prove they're an idiot.
It was pretty amazing how willing everyone was to believe it even though the story sounded off from the start, heck I even saw CJ being outraged about it on Twitter. Of course not that many people are walking it back now that the facts have come out.
I'm sorry but this is the end result of the religious right anti gay nutjobs vs the SJW intersectionality GROUPS for everything. He shouldn't be a detriment to anyone but himself. Just like Paddock shooting up the strip was a detriment to me because I'm white. If Paddock was a detriment to me it was because he was an American. We're at the point where we should all be free but now we have opposing groups for every occasion.
That happens far too often. People go for headlines and post things on twitter, facebook or message boards without fleshing them out first.
Being deceived isn't a moral failing or a crime. People who got taken by this story were reacting to news of a hate crime. Hate crimes do happen; this didn't happen to be one. barfo
Of course. Most people are pre-conditioned to react negatively to hate crimes. Probably that's a good thing. barfo
