Hanson is usually better organized than this. What were the other two reactions to the Smollett hoax?

Quite the tough guy, this Smollett character. Subdued two white racist Deplorables while hanging on to his sandwich.

"...As Heather Mac Donald has recently once again noted, the 2017 upswing in reported hate crimes from the prior year may well be largely because an additional 1,000 police agencies were for the first time reporting such crimes. Mac Donald also notes that a “hate crime”—a micro percentage of reported violent crime—is narrowly defined not to include general interracial violent victimization, a category in which African-Americans on average commit 85 percent of such crimes..."

I am glad VDH included this, he does not disappoint. Leftists are talking about the increase in "Hate Crimes" during the Trump presidency, and using the "new" statistics (that include a thousand new "reporting agencies") to back up their claim.

The Left does this kind of thing with any statistic, redefining it to include a broader range of items, then claiming an increase. With poverty levels, they redefine the definition of "poverty" and...voila! Poverty levels increase.

Sexual Harassment? Redefine what sexual harassment is and how it is reported to increase the statistics, and golly gee, Sexual Harassment is up to record levels!

Homelessness? Mass Shootings? Whatever? Redefine it and you have a new talking point. It is how they roll.

EVERY hate crime is a hoax. I do not recall a single “real” hate crime in the last 30 years. (There might have been one that I missed, but all you ever hear about are the hoaxes.)

Of course the media never reports the true hate crimes (black yutes playing the knockout game on old white ladies etc)

When the supply of hate crimes doesn't meet the demand required by the Race Hustlers, Feminist, and LGBTCDEF crowed you have to make them up. How else is this bunch of drooling idiots and miscreants going to make a living?
