Politically motivated violence thread

They’re hedging right now.

Tough to fire a twofer....Hollywood types take that kind of thing seriously.

Look who else doesn't believe America was founded on Judeo Christian values....

I've never owned a MAGA hat, but I'm starting to be tempted. Are there any made in the USA?

Okay. A cammo hat. I can dig it. Always thought the red hats Trump wears are shaped oddly. Kinda wondered if he's going for the Mario/plumber look.

Smollett can only hope to jump start a career off of his hoax the way Sharpton did.

A different take on the Art of the Hoax.

[h=1]What an Audacious Hoax Reveals About Academia[/h]
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/10/new-sokal-hoax/572212/

[FONT=&quot]In the late 1990s, Alan Sokal, a professor of physics at New York University, began a soon-to-be-infamous article by setting out some of his core beliefs:

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]that there exists an external world, whose properties are independent of any individual human being and indeed of humanity as a whole; that these properties are encoded in “eternal” physical laws; and that human beings can obtain reliable, albeit imperfect and tentative, knowledge of these laws by hewing to the “objective” procedures and epistemological strictures prescribed by the (so-called) scientific method.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Sokal went on to “disprove” his credo in fashionable jargon. “Feminist and poststructuralist critiques have demystified the substantive content of mainstream Western scientific practice, revealing the ideology of domination concealed behind the façade of ‘objectivity,’”[/FONT]

So how much of Smollettgate was motivated by self-interest and how much was intended to push the narrative that more "hate crime" laws are necessary?

Don't forget that a new "hate crime" bill, SB 12, is on its way to the floor of the Indiana Senate. It must be stopped. My senator (Sen. Boots) was the only one in the committee that opposed it!!!

FBI and postal inspectors investigating the letter that was sent prior to the latest incident.

Could be a heap of Fed level trouble if their investigation leads back to Smollett and or the Nigerian brothers.

He's trying to get Illinois to pass a law that it passed in 2016?

Nope. The recent federal legislation making lynching super double illegal.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/430023-senate-passes-bill-to-make-lynching-a-federal-crime


The bill, introduced by Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), makes lynching punishable as a hate crime.
The bill previously passed the Senate in December, but it did not clear the then-GOP controlled House before the end of the 115th Congress. It passed on Thursday by a voice vote.

Booker said that "lynching is not a relic of the past," pointing to the attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett in Chicago.

 

[KG1]

Family members of real crime victims are not happy with the resources expended on the Smollett hoax when the cases of thier family members remain unsolved.

Smollett should have to face those families and explain to them why he wasted a number of man hours and valuable resources that were diverted to investigate this selfish act.

I missed the part of Smollett's story where he was found hanging from a tree.

Agreed. And he should have to repay the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in labor investigating his fairy tale (no pun intended). Maybe he could start a gofundme page and get his celebrity supporters to donate.
