    To me, the worst part of this is the fact that it'll cast doubt the next time there actually is a violent racist incident. So, whether he was using this for his own gain or using it to shed light on what he perceives as an issue, he actually just made the mountain steeper for the next legitimate victim. 

     

    Will it really though?  Are you positing that Trump supporters nationally were about to “come to Jesus” on this issue, so to speak.  The synagogue shooting and Charlottesville and other extreme crimes almost had them at the table for substantive discussions on the problem of right-wing violence...but now this Jussie guy has set the whole thing back?

     

    Cause I don’t really think that’s the case.

     

    The far-right are gonna pretend it never happened, forever.

    The extra woke among us are gonna jump extra hard, always.

    And the rest of us in the middle are gonna call for an investigation and justice where needed.

     

    Or, I could be wrong.  This could end up being some huge deal...but I doubt it.

    So basically, people here at ES didn't start talking about it until more facts came in, possibly because it seemed too fishy from the get-go and no one wanted to present the possibility of a hate crime being a hoax until there was more info. I mean, that's definitely a possibility...one that speaks rather positively of the political temperament here surrounding this one particular event, anyway.

     

    This “story” is the very definition of a nothingburger.  I mean, there really is nothing there except a D-list actor playing himself thoroughly.  This makes the Kathy Griffin thing look like Pearl Harbor.

     

    As I said originally...NEXT.

  3. Just want to point out that this case didn’t register as “rage bait” anywhere on this forum.  No one even mentioned it because it seemed so insignificant and contrived.  And it wasn’t until the whole thing began to fall apart that one of our more right-wing guys started a thread about it...where in our other right-wing guys came in to warn us about a “rush to judgement” and how Jussie Smollet is a threat to our society.

     

    Let me know if Jussie starts mailing pipe-bombs to Dems and judges, tho.
