    And I lived in Southie in the 2000s. A beating of a black person by whites wasn’t all that uncommon. All races have ignorant a-holes.

    So in other words, you don't care about hate crimes...

    that's what I thought.

    What reality? What are you going on about? Clearly you feel you’re a victim of some sort. Talk to your shrink about it because I have no idea what you’re going on about.

    Depends. If you listen to the left wing media, Hollywood, the left wing reporters on Twitter, you would be upset. If you read the Chicago Tribune you would read actual facts where the claimed it was an alleged allegation. Me? I wait for the facts. You?

    Hate crimes? Dude, if those really were two white guys really wearing maga hats yelling about how chicago is maga country, they would have become just one more statistic, assuming the garbage men noticed there were two bodies in a nearby dumpster.

    Could get a lot more than three if the feds go after him for mail fraud. Also it could be argued that since he attacked himself with racial and sexual orientation motives, he could be on the hook for a hate crime. Oh the delicious delicious dripping irony!

    Except the violent crime statistics say that one race has a whole lot more ignorant a-holes than all the rest.

    his pal don lemon could have been there to stick a camera in his face... i mean when a dude agrees to turn himself in, it's a known event ad a priori. how often does the news media know about an fbi raid before it happens? seems that's usually the kind of thing law enforcement wants to keep under wraps until its all over.

    we agree here. his career is over for a long time, he's pretty much ruined his life, and he could even be facing federal mail fraud charges. donkey is right.

    If it had been real I’d want prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Same reaction as now.

    Of course I care, which is why I no longer live in Oakland.

    If you care about actual hate crimes and violence, go to youtube and do a search for Colin Flaherty. Tommy Sotomayor also has quite a bit, but his is directed at black women.

    All you have is one hoax.

    He made pretty good money, but apparently developed a spending habit and needed more.
    Now, he has no income, has no pending potential income,
    And living of what he may have saved, which probably is not a whole bunch, compared to his spending.

    He'll be dead in a year.

    Well, of course we care about crimes targeting us than crimes targeting others. Your last statement shows you feel the same way.

    Adjust for population % and there's no surprise. Then add a healthy dollop of bias and there ya go.

    I'm not one of those morons who jumped on this story when it first broke thinking "ah hah!!!! FINALLY an example of the rampant racism and violence that blacks have been forced to endure, lo these many centuries now!!!!"

    My bias told me from the get-go that this was probably nonsense. This kind of lying in order to obtain victimhood status is what lefties do, and they're not very good at hiding the fact that it's just a bunch of baloney. Hell, they don't even care if people find out that their story is a lie because they know that no matter what, there will be a bunch of lefties willing to cover for them.

    It's all become just a huge joke to me. I can hardly wait for what you boyahs have in store for next week's bogus news story.
