Gay men and women who will come forward and one day say they were a victim of a hate crime now will be doubted. People of faith — Muslim or any other religious faith who will be a victim of hate crimes; people of also of all walks of life, of backgrounds, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, now this casts a shadow of whether they’re telling the truth, and he did this all in the name of self-promotion. And he used the laws of the hate crime legislation that all of us collectively over years have put on the books to stand up to be the values that embody what we believe in.
But then I cannot stress that in a time when you have people bringing a moral equivalency in Virginia between bigots and those fighting bigotry, and you have a person using hate crime laws that are on the books to protect people, who are minorities, from violence, to then turn around and use those laws to advance your career and your financial reward. Is there no decency in this man?

If TPTB are really trying to start a race war and divide us, this would be a good straw to add to the camels back.
Anyways, you're a young black gay actor getting some fame, passionate about your anti-racism and your perceived victimization by the country, but mostly the white people who don't like blacks and gays. You're making a lot of money, not as much as big actors, but you've got at least a million in assets and worth.
You're into your culture stuff, music, whatever you do in your gay scene and you do MDMA plus whatever else. Your ego is going to be out of this world, you'll come up with some grandiose ideas like this one.
Some people are into their cause too much and do something dramatic for it while also getting fame or infamy such as shootings like in Christchurch recently.
Trump supporters are not your average every day people. Majority of people are good and decent whereas Trump supporters not so much.
How can you say otherwise when the man they support is immoral, crooked and disgusting.
Also conservatives in general, no matter the race or religion are scum without morals and decency.
Y'all can think there's a collusion conspiracy with Smollett and elected Dems all you'd like since its your opposition but I'm staying true to the cause and denying ignorance.

Imagine my surprise when I come across a post spouting complete and utter garbage only to notice it's from a brand new account. Obvious shill is obvious.

That's where you guys are shooting yourselves in the foot. If you just pay attention to people with your same world view you will get trapped in a bubble real fast. It seems that's what most of these political mud pit threads have become just a bunch of like minded "patriots" parroting each other and calling anyone that disagrees with them childish names. We will never get anywhere with that type of mindset.
