But God damn, he must be the best actor on television to inspire such fandom and defensiveness because you basically have to be an amoral sociopath to stage a hate crime in order to leverage more money from your TV Show. It's the kind of thing Dennis would have done on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This was a pretty fine performance. Emmy-worthy, in fact...

Going Commando Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 So did he stage the hate crime or not? Also, I'm still not totally clear what laws staging a hate crime breaks. It's morally reprehensible to cry wolf about it no doubt, but criminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, but I'm not really sure that staging a Hollywood publicity stunt really ought to be felony charges. Even though Dirty Harry has taught me that legally, conspiracy to commit a misdemeanor is a felony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 He's a dirtbag for wasting police's time with a fake attack. And no amount of money he can throw at it will change my perception of him, or of most Americans for that matter. That guy has a scarlet letter on him. Was it worth it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
