    Here is an actual hate crime:

    Utah Man Who Police Said Wanted to ‘Kill Mexicans’ Faces U.S. Hate Crime Charges

    A Utah man who is accused of attacking a Latino man and his son with a metal pole last year after announcing his desire to “kill Mexicans” was charged with federal hate crimes on Thursday, a move celebrated by local officials who criticized the state’s hate crime law as ineffective.

    Right. You are not alone. A rush to judgement that you all support.

    Obviously.

    They didn't falsify the police report. Smollett did.

    They were involved in a conspiracy. They conspired to create a false hate crime.

    No. The hoax is much worse, especially those which feed into a narrative of hate against a large segment of the population.

    And they turned state's evidence to convict the "mastermind." Such things happen all the time.

    It might be helpful to think of lefties as a heroin addict with a hundred dollars in their pocket and really needing a fix.

    It might be a rush to judgement to think that they're planning to buy some heroin, but the odds are in my favor.

    I know that. However, the reports would almost indicate that they were wrongly identified. Just my impression.

    I wouldn't hold them responsible. They didn't intend to falsify anything they were up front when discovered and questioned. Lesser charges perhaps.

    Except that they weren't...

    Now how is that possible?

    For most people, they'd only need a few seconds to mull that one over, but I think you'll make do in an hour.

    They intended to create a false scenario of an attack by Trump supporters.

    Well dude, you're sitting here wondering how the cops managed to figure out that this was a hoax, but don't quite know how.

    It's not hard to figure out, considering the many red flags.

    The cops figured it out, conservatives smelled lefties lying from the get-go, but you're still scratching your head...

    There's a reason why you don't know what everybody else does.

    Well dude. My impression was that the media was trying ton convey the message that they were falsely identified. That was my impression of what they were saying. Not my impression of what happened..
    And again. Knock off the cheap insults.

    Remember the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings? Lefties were crawling over each other like walmart shoppers during black friday to convict him of all sorts of disgusting things. The Covington kids incident had lefties foaming at the mouth demanding that a 16 year old kid have his life ruined forever, the Russian conspiracy that never had any basis in fact or evidence is now falling apart while you guys wander around wondering how you guys got everything so wrong.

    Time after time after time after time, lefties fall for stupid, while conservatives try like hell to explain simple concepts that they just don't quite get.

    There's a reason for this monumental history of failure. Your job, if you choose to accept it,is to figure out why lefties are constantly wrong. If it was me, I'd start trying to figure out why this guy can't quite get his shirt on...


    There comes a time when you really can't complain about the laughter.

    Just a little lesson on people for someone who obviously does not understand the concept. There are rarely "you people". Once you start trying to fit them into convenient little niches, you will most often come to the wrong conclusion about them. And that is the end of this useless discussion.

    Um . . . this is a hate crime. Racist Smollett set-up some innocent Whites to go down for a crime that they did not commit. If the Chicago cops had marched forth a couple of down on their luck White street people Smollett would have fingered them for the attack. H-a-t-e C-r-i-m-e.

    Naw, he'll probably get 60 days and $10,000 fine.
    Year probation.

    You mean like the left and their media outlets condemning MAGA hat wearers as racists?
