I also want to point out that, even had this been legit, it would not be a hate crime. Hate speech, sure. Illegal vandalism? Yes. Hate crime? No.
You honestly don’t think that if someone who voted republican did this . . . that it wouldn’t be reported and universally claimed by democrats as a ‘hate crime’?
Seriously???
SERIOUSLY???
bullshit.
This OP of this thread is really more Recreational Outrage than actual discussion. I’m moving it to the Pit.
El_Kabong did not return on your timetable because El_Kabong has other things to do besides monitor this board 24/7.
Anyway, thanks for backing up your assertion. If you want to believe that there are no such things as right-wing hate crimes (or perhaps just that the majority are fakes), as seems to be the case, you are welcome to do so. I think we both know that this is somewhat unlikely, however.
Oh, and I thought for sure that the quoted bit, which Okrahoma ignored, would make him feel better about us evil liberals. Apparently not. ![]()
Cool. So:
1 head cauliflower
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1Tbsp butter
2 oz. sharp cheese, shredded
salt and pepper to taste
Break cauliflower into florets, place in microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on HIGH for six minutes
Add cream and butter; stir to coat evenly
Microwave for another six minutes (still on HIGH)
Puree cauliflower with cheese in a blender or food processor, until smooth
Season with salt and pepper.
Yum!
Why would anyone care about this? Hoaxes suck but they’re a part of life. They’re the statistical anomaly that should be rooted out then ignored. The only thing that matters are the ones that aren’t hoaxes. I guess you can get great delight in pointing out the hoaxes while not caring a bit about the others if that’s what gets you off, but most people are adult enough to know how childish that is.
**Yet another “hate crime” revealed to be a hoax by a leftist
**Those fucking “leftists” are going to give “hate crimes” a “bad name”.
Consider me 100% properly recreationally-internet outraged! Why, if I were still on Facebook, I would TOTALLY share this story, and register an amount of disgust!
Given how busy the haters are, it’s very considerate for the fakers help them out.
vindication!

but - this wasn;t a ‘hoax’ - it was a real crime perpetrated by real people.
That they intended to ‘frame’ the other group is irrelevant. They wanted to bring attention to an issue and they succeeded.
So let me get this straight.
A guy writes a graffiti that’s pro-rightist and anti-leftists.
And when he gets caught, he starts blaming the left.
Smooth. 
Then you could have the “double reverse false flag”, where, for example, righties pose as Soros minions to pay someone to do, say, racist graffiti only to discredit the left when discovered. (If you find this example offensive, feel free to reverse the roles.)
You may ask yourself: “Is anybody really that devious?”. Well, I am. Bwahaahaa.
Okrahoma, would you care to spitball what percentage of hate crimes are hoaxes? 5%? 10%?
Is this the same church vandalism hoax case that the alt-right has been milking since it happened and was likely a hoax?
Of course, when it isn’t a hoax, the new Nazi crowd just acts like it isn’t a crime.
So, it’s fake fake news, then?
This says 2 to 8% are reclassified after investigation
In a lot of these cases I think the nature of the crime will give some clue as to how valid it is perceived to be.
If it’s a claim along the lines of "these mysterious people who I have never seen or interacted with before came out of nowhere and randomly assaulted me (with no intent to rob or rape) called me racist names and etc. then dumped me by the side of the road " then yes it’s possible, but it’s unusual enough that my first thought would not be “hate crime” but that it needs to be investigated.
No. And as I said, I can give you dozens more such “hate crime” hoaxes.
I could probably find dozens of scientists who support creationism.
Does it mean jack shit?
No.
And the point of this whole exercise being…?
