And one lousy disturbing the peace charge. A tale told by a bunch of idiots.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Well, that commentary pretty much destroys any chances of holding any trial in Chicago. Could be on purpose, they don’t need the expense of holding OJ Simpson II.

[rktman]

Time wasted when they could have been persecuting PDJT.

You really thought a fake hate crime hoax would go to trial? Can you point to an example of this happening?

It’s good that they try to express a higher morality and idealism but the truth is we can easily see why someone would use this kind of hoax to promote themselves and their career. Also this was not just a lynching hoax it was an anti trump supporter anti-White hoax.

[Williams]

That statement makes it sound like this was a crime against black people which in a way it was but certainly white people and conservatives were the 1st targets and victims of this hoax.

If the clothesline doesn't fit, you must acquit! 👹⚖🦄💨💩

Change trial to suburbs

[GMMC0987]

We need a Tawana Brawley award for years best hoax.

[rktman]

Double tap, sorry.

[metmom]

He added, "Bogus police reports cause real harm."

He said that wrong.

"Bogus reports to police cause real harm."

I think gay people are likely to have mental problems that go beyond their sexual abnormalities.

[Impy]

So he DID fake the letter too, those are FEDERAL charges. Postal inspectors!!!!!!!!

The motive? He was NOT getting fired, he was pissed off they wouldn’t give him a RAISE.

He paid the Nigerian brothers $3500, paid with a CHECK.

And the worst actor Oscar lifetime achievement award goes to.......

“And one lousy disturbing the peace charge.”

Wrong. It’s Felony Disorderly Conduct which in Illinois carries a sentence of 1-3 years in State prison and a $25,000 fine.

[Flaming Conservative]

Yeah, but it’s still valid...just because it didn’t REALLY happen...everybody KNOWS that all Trumpers WANT to commit this kind of hate crime ‘cause we’re all violent hateful racists...right?/s

[volunbeer]

This kind of hoax is not good for any group and it should be punished to the full extent of the law. Stop and consider if there had been riots over it - kind of surprised there was not.

I am not familiar with his work, but I hope he is a good actor because he will never be a decent director and can’t write a script to save his life.
