DMC Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 2 hours ago, DMC said: All there is is your pathetic little bullshit trying to justify racist anger as legitimate qualms instead of calling it what it is. Had another thought about this I felt like sharing. I didn't comment about the Smollett case at all, including the brief period where people thought it was legitimate, and that was intentional. Even if it was true, who cares? It's one data point in literally thousands of cases per year. At the same time, though, I'm not shocked nor pissed at the media for immediately reporting on it and consequently wildly speculating about "what it means" if a Hollywood star gets assaulted. That's what a "free" media does. Got a problem with snap judgments and unfair accusations? Cool, then let's actually work to maintain and reconstruct an objective and considered political media. But your side (and don't give me your bullshit that you're not essentially a spokesman for that side @Altherion) are the ones that expound upon the greatness of unfettered and unregulated media. Now you're gonna whine about the results? Of the self-interest paradigm you bow to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went into so much detail about the evidence, detail I have never seen a police department reveal before, not only putting nails in his coffin but taking a nail gun and using a thousand nails to hammer that coffin shut. Pretty sad all round. Just heard on NPR -- more than 24 detectives were working on the case. The clearance rate for murders in Chicago is TERRIBLE. Yet another thumb in the eye for the city. 10 hours ago, Altherion said: This is just the tip of the iceberg. Make no mistake, there is a lot of anger in the US within the people who are not doing well, but are not included in the set of groups favored by academia, the media and the elites. Ordinarily, they cannot express this anger as they will be demonized and punished for it, but this incident presents a rare acceptable target. And incidentally, it's not just Breitbart and Trump supporters who are behind this. Here's a view from the kind of Christian conservative that used to be mainstream a few years ago: There certainly is a lot of anger on the Right -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/ex-coast-guard-lieutenant-ordered-held-for-14-days-while-government-weighs-terrorism-related-charges-in-his-planning-of-widespread-terrorist-attack/2019/02/21/57918f12-3573-11e9-854a-7a14d7fec96a_story.html?utm_term=.680c5fae4b9e PC Culture persecution of white supremacy is to blame! We should be nicer to these folk -- right @Altherion? Btw- using a the great white myth of MLK as a cudgel against Smollett is a real sweet move by the author of that bible-humping article that you posted. Quote Dr. Martin Luther King had experienced far more racism, violence, injustice, and hatred than Smollett is likely to see in a lifetime. Nonetheless, he remains a model of virtue for us not because he was a victim, but because he drew on the teaching of his faith to overcome hatred with love. Brotherhood that transcends identity is a Christian idea. It is an American idea. We must reclaim it, or perish. Fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindwalker Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 >>Brotherhood that transcends identity is a Christian idea. It is an American idea. That's funny. I mean, even if it WERE a Christian idea, it could not be"American", unless they mean the old cultures, which I doubt and wouldn't quite fit, either.

Cas Stark Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 10 hours ago, Fragile Bird said: Well, the police chief's statement went waaaaaaay beyond what it should have. Why, for example, was it relative that one of the brothers sold Smollett recreational drugs, except to turn public opinion against him even more than the basic facts would have? Probably to provide additional evidence that it wasn't that casual of an acquaintance, e.g. not possible that the brothers attacked him and he didn't recognize them, which at this point, seems to be his only course of a defense, since the police have made it very clear that the only people in the area at the time were the brothers and the timeline lines up perfectly that they "attacked" him.

The Chicago Police Department (and posters such as yourself) are either showing their true colors or are painfully blinded by their searing righteousness against filing false police reports.

Well, it actually was 'a court' where the assistant state's attorney read the proffer. Presumably, they have and needed evidence in order to charge him, the brothers testified before the grand jury, it doesn't seem that complicated, even not accounting for the massive negative publicity that this engendered for the City of Chicago, which isn't MAGA country by a long shot, or the wasted effort of the CPD on a fake crime.
