    What would they be charged with? Charging them would be like charging Bruce Willis for attempted murder because he was shooting a fake gun at actors during the filming of die hard.

    If they hadn't agreed to cooperate with the police, then they would have had to arrest them for attacking Smollett.

    If this weren't a hoax, or before it was known that it was a hoax....

    a normal reaction would be the reaction that normal people should have.......(a horrible and despicable act which happens far too often....)

    except from certain factions of the right who believe everything that doesn't fit their narrative is a hoax. Even Trump Jr. was backing up all the people who claimed it was hoax before there was any evidence....as guilty of a rush to judgement as anyone....more so actually.

    Now that it is shown that it is probably a hoax, the right leaps up and down like it means anything beyond what a normal person's reaction should be....if this guy did this, he's an idiot. End of story. Not some proof that the media or the left are all fake...they had the correct reaction initially to what was reported by the police to them.

    You sound upset that it wasn't a hoax. Fascinating. Not even the Chicago Tribune jumped on the left wing hate bandwagon because they are more familiar with Chicago than the hysterical left wing media.

    Give it a rest.
    This was a jump up and down like idiots screaming Trump is racist event.
    Ride this pony for all the political mileage you can get event.
    Condemn every Trump supporter as an evil racist event.

    ....and the plug got pulled in their little love tub

    Maybe if you lack common sense, this hoax would have been believable. But as soon as details started being made public, red flags started going up.

    That's ridiculous. I'm not upset by any of this. Just calling it as I see it.

    The only thing that is perhaps upsetting is that certain factions of the right care more about some hoax then they do about actual hate crimes.

    Not really upsetting as those people are morons, so who really cares.

    Since he turned himself in it would seem a tad odd for them to bring him to his home and drag him out wouldn’t ya say?
    That being said...hope he gets jail time for this. What a donkey.

    It fit the lefty narrative, so they jumped on it just as quickly as they jumped on the covington kids, just as they have jumped on Trawana Brawley Michael whatshisface with his hands up don't shoot thing, and dozens and dozens of other times the left have been duped by their own delusions.

    The real story isn't that idiot and his staged attack. The real story is that 1) if you have to pay black guys to pretend to be white trump supporters attacking gay blacks, then it's not a problem. 2) the media and democrat politicians will believe anything if it fits their narrative.

    In other words, it's just lefties being lefties. They are mere lemmings in search of a cliff.

    And you all jumping up and down is reasonable?

    If this weren't a hoax, what might your reaction be? I'm guessing complete disinterest.

    That's what Mueller does for the non flight indictments.

    Actual false hate crimes? Smollett has really set actual hate crimes back but all you care about is your bigotry against the right wing.

    Even if that's true.........even if there is too much talk show crap and pundits all over the place....

    how is the right not guilty of the exact same thing....??????

    All the time. Even with this.

    That's a rhetorical question.

    If it actually happened, the first thing I'd be thinking is that those two maga hat wearing white guys were in the wrong city at the wrong time and it's lucky the cops got to them before the locals did.

    Again, ridiculous.

    You trying to tell me any of you care about actual hate crimes? If this weren't a hoax, you'd either be disinterested or changing the topic or claiming it was a hoax with no proof.

    You know it, I know it, we all know it.

    The fact that this one guy moronically hoaxed everyone is nothing more than that...he's an idiot and a jerk...the end.

    Well, I suppose the comparison is that if Chicago were as ridiculous as Mueller, they would have raided Smollett with a SWAT team.

    But would any of you be upset about it or talking about it passionately?

    I don't think so.

    Because it was a hoax, all of a sudden the right gets all up in arms...couldn't care less if it had been a hate crime.

    Projection. Another prognosticator based on their own personal filter.

    Thugs are thugs. In this case the thug is Smollett. are you upset it was a hoax?

    I lived in Oakland during the 80s. Believe me, a beating isn't all that uncommon in the hood. Hell, the guy wasn't even shot!

    Reality. Something not admitted to by the Trump hating left.

    Were you upset before it came out as a hoax?

    If I look back at threads of this (were there any?) before there was proof of anything and the police were taking the case seriously with no reason not to...

    would I find posts from all of you showing concern for this guy, and slamming hate crimes, etc?
