HE’S RIGHT ON THIS:

 

Wilfred Reilly’s Hate Crime Hoax: How the Left is Selling a Fake Race War 

 

is worth reading. I speak to plenty of people on the left side of the political spectrum. They are adamant that hoaxes are rare … but they are not right.  

 

The fact that they persist in saying so (and/or believing so) is part of the problem.

 

(For the “Cliff Notes” version, see my dissenting statement in the recent report of Commission on Civil Rights.

I cite Reilly there.)

It's so true.  Every time there is a Jussie situation, they say but there is this rising wave of hate crimes.  And, the next one happens and it's another hoax - and they say it again.

And, now I read an article about Sacha Baron Cohen ripping into Facebook and Zuckerberg and see he says this:

 

With all of this in mind, Baron Cohen turned to the rise of demagoguery, conspiracy theories and hate crimes around the world, and pointed to what he sees as the most logical explanation for this dangerous trend. “All this hate and violence is being facilitated by a handful of internet companies that amount to the greatest propaganda machine in history,” he said.

The Trayvon Martin Hoax Comes Crashing Down

by Karl Notturno

Original Article

 

Remember Skittles and iced-tea? In the aftermath of Trayvon Martin’s fatal confrontation with George Zimmerman, the media went to great pains to characterize the teenager as an innocent kid who was shot for wearing a hoodie while black. After all, this depiction fit their narrative—their narrative of a country filled with racist rednecks just waiting for a chance to shoot innocent and unarmed black teenagers.

Now Zimmerman sues over this:

Ah yes, the good old days when the mere mention of Zimmerman’s name would send certain members of this board into frothing tirades!

 

Little did they know what lay around the corner.

You mean when George Zimmerman, the white Hispanic, hunted down the innocent little boy who could be Obama's son like a dog? Good times here!

I hesitated to post this earlier, since he is such a flawed (but innocent) man...............................like all of us.

 

He has (supposedly) written an article that I will put here.

 

Original Article

 

Most people know my name, George Zimmerman, largely due to negative stereotypes propagated by the media as a result of the 2012 incident in Sanford, Florida, in which Trayvon Martin died.

Unfortunately, most people don’t recall the fact that I was exonerated of any wrongdoing after a thorough investigation by the Sanford Police Department in March 2012. They had interviewed dozens of witnesses, analyzed 911 calls, and examined the physical evidence of my broken nose, the lacerations on the back of my head, as well as the bruised knuckles of my assailant.

Yeah lets see how far this goes, might just be a money grab, I am surprised it is into getting more publicity.  I thin this is probably thread worthy.

This isn't going to get any coverage.  Just like it got virtually no coverage when the facts came out about what really happened that night.

I'm surprised the WaPo actually sent this out via email.

Slurs were scrawled on an Indiana church after Trump’s election. The investigation uncovered an unlikely suspect — and a hoax.

"Heil Trump," a swastika and an anti-gay slur spray-painted on St. David’s Episcopal Church were part of a string of high-profile hate crime reports in 2016. Then the detective on the case in rural Brown County began to suspect it was something else. Could the hateful graffiti plastered on the side of the church have been written by somebody who planned to sit in the pews Sunday morning?

Although it was pretty apologetic to the perpetrator.   And, it had this: 

 

Real hate crimes far outnumber fake ones. Exact estimates vary, but academic researchers put the number of confirmed hate hoaxes in 2016 in the dozens — a tiny fraction of the 6,121 crimes of bias reported that year to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

 

Why is it I can't even remember any that actually were real.  I'm sure there are some, but out of the ones in that the media reports on, they almost all have turned out to be hoaxes............And, surely they don't far outnumber the fake ones.

Because the fake ones are done specifically for the coverage, which means they're more effectively and more loudly reported and promoted to the media.

That makes sense in being a factor.
