Bored As gently caress posted:This is always a thing. People latch on to whatever confirms they're already preconceived notions or biases. Whenever a school shooting happens, liberals call for gun control. They call for gun control even though the investigation hasn't even begun. Most of the time it turns out that the guy either had the guns legally and passed background checks, or, he had the guns illegally. Or, because of some gently caress ups by either the FBI /NICS, or because the local PD or Sheriff's Department or the state didn't send the required information to NICS, allowing the bastard to pass a background check. Or because a tip about the person being suspicious or dangerous wasn't followed up by PD. gently caress the police

The noose and bleach by themselves make me skeptical about the story. It's entirely possible he got jumped by a couple of chuds, but I've never heard of skinheads or alt-right Nazis using nooses or bleach in their attacks. They virtually always give a beat down with kicking and punching, or blunt objects like bats.

I'm not saying it didn't happen the way he said, but the fact that the police arrested, then released the two suspects, plus the information coming from the news sources, makes me skeptical. I'll tell you what, I'll put my money where my mouth is. If it turns out that Smollett was the victim of a random hate crime, I will donate $25 to Disabled Veterans of America. I'll even for it.

Hot take: this is one of those cases where simply waiting works. It’s not like if we don’t decide to place our bets on this, you’ll miss election day or the polar ice caps will melt sooner.

Right, but some people in America think a useful “conversation” is responding to all reports of hate crimes, sexual assault, DV, etc with “Oh, yeah no proof innocent until proven guilty!” And that’s not super useful nor unmotivated.

It seems to me that a lot of people in here have pointed out that this particular case seems suspicious. I know I personally have pointed out that I felt it was suspicious, but I also said that that in no way reflects on other crimes like this. I know other people in here of also said that they believe that hate crimes happen far too frequently against minorities in this country. None of us are arguing that that isn't the case. We merely pointed out that this one particular instant seems suspicious. It seems really odd to me that your of drawing upon the rest of America as an example of why you need to be attacking the people in this very forum who agree with you 9 times out of 10. Is this just another example of the left eating its own because they are the exact same brand of left that you are?

Chichevache posted:[words] That was a long walk to...what? complain about the left from the center? Aside from a reported attack like “9 purple unicorns attacked me,” defaulting to trying to pick apart ways the alleged victim might be a liar from the sidelines is not very healthy. (I’ll give it a huge pass in a realm like international politics/war where disinformation is weaponized daily). Someone reading this thread now knows that they’d best keep victimization to themselves unless the attacker uses an MO that GiP deems “normal.” Immediately interrogating a reported victimization from the sidelines, even if it turns out to be a false report very rarely, is one way that actual victims are silenced before they can even speak. See: the history of racial animus amd sexual violence.

I usually hate those comparison graphics because they're usually some super-niche nerd poo poo that doesn't translate to a broader audience, but the one with "Proudest Moment?" with both of them having pictures of young Bernie getting hauled off by the cops made me laugh.
