At the very least he should be billed for the entire cost of the investigation, and be required to make a public apology. Ideally, he should spend at least six months or a year in prison in addition to paying for the investigation. We keep getting these hoaxes because the media instantly spread them, and the person perpetrating the hoax is either never punished or given a slap on the wrist.

As 98% of us have said from the VERY beginning, made up story. As I said then, Liberal Progressive political race scams are easy to spot because they make up the story based upon misguided pre-conceived notions of how Trump supporters, people on the right etc. think, talk and behave.

Unfortunately for them they really have no clue the accurate reality so their bogus claims stick out like a sore thumb to us who really do know the score.

The MSM play right along because they are also lefty’s and operate under the same fallacious mindset.

We have a country filled with “victims” for which there are no actual perpetrators. This goes on all the time now. It’s mass delusion (along with outright fraud) spawned by a powerful incentive to become a victim due to today’s victimhood culture. “Victims” are today’s heroes, and as apparently demonstrated by this incident, there is no quicker way to gain sympathy and deflect negative attention from yourself than to concoct a quick victimhood tale. Jusse’s only problem is that he was really stupid and assembled a paper-thin story that a blind man could see right through.

If only the CPD worked as hard as investigating the thousands of shootings that happen each year.

And then his slavish MSM spent a week hyping the story, saying "we believe you," etc.

most of us knew it was a hoax all along . . .

Really? What are the odds that a racist attack would turn out to be a hoax? Again?

In this case, witnesses came forward and were willing to talk.

I think that's something of a rarity in the shooting cases.

This whole misadventure should be made into a short comedy with Will Smith and the Kunte Kente actor.
The Perils of Lying!

When he eventually commits suicide pink journalists will say that he was bullied for speaking out against homophobia and Trumperism.

They don't care. Some thug murders another thug and all the thug witnesses "Dint see nuttin!"That's why 83% of Chicago homicides remain unsolved.

Well, I certainly hope he doesn't do anything like that.

Just because it isn't true doesn't mean it shouldn't be true.

So it apparently was a staged incident.

There were things in the earliest reports that caused many to doubt the story. The narrative was a bit much and flimsy.

The bleaching part was easily proved or disproved by looking at the clothing. Bleach discoloration would have been evident. When it was a reporter who ‘found’ the bottle of ‘clear liquid’ in a hot-sauce bottle, that raised questions. Other posters have said that bleach freezes at about 18 degrees. The morning of this incident was below zero.

The ‘rope’ quickly became a clothes line cord.

O what a tangled web we weave,
when first we practice to deceive.
