    "Failing actor" :rolleyes:

    Dude, do you even Hollywood? Any person with a full time gig on a TV show as already achieved more success than 90 percent of the other actors out there. He really doesn't need to pull shit outta his ass to make a name for himself, no matter how much Klanforge wants this to be fake.

    I'm most curious about how the truthers explain the threatening letter with the (harmless) white powder he received a few days earlier. Was that fake too? Either way, if all he wanted was sympathy for being the victim of hate, why not just publicize the letter? :mystery:

    There's now a report that the letter had "MAGA" written in place of the return address. So there was no need to stage a phony attack, either as a play for sympathy or political points. Just tip off the media about the letter. But he didn't do that, instead deciding as any of us might not to cower in fear, but to keep living his life the way he had always done. Why shouldn't he get Subway at 2 am?

    ^That one's easy to speculate about - he tried his hand at writing instead of acting, and his script just had many plot holes, and should have asked George Lucas to read it first and help with the re-write.

    I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just there are a lot of questions. Like, when this happened it was really cold, right? I wonder what kind of liquid they could have poured on him that didn't very quickly freeze given the -20 degree temperatures. Do they have any samples? Why did these people just happen to have this liquid and a noose on them? Were they stalking this actor specifically or just hoping to come across any random brown person? In the polar vortex? Do they have the noose? Or did the attackers take it off and take it with them?

    Wow, he looks pretty good for a guy that got beat up enough to need hospitalization.

    I mean, it could be things happened like he said. If it did, it sure sucks that there aren't any witnesses or surveillance camera footage that shows anything more than the silhouettes of two people walking down the sidewalk close by.

    It's just, this really reminds me of something else.

    If you want to get the technical it might be a hoax then sure. I see absolutely no reason to think it is aside from black people suck. So I don't see it happening.

    He got beaten up by a maga supporter. They will probably not have any conviction due to the lack of evidence and it goes down under someone getting jumped because they were black. Oh, and your face does not swell with a broken rib. Having little damage is a sign that 60 seconds was about all the fight was. The attackers could not damage him that much with all his heavy clothing in that time.

    Yes, the reason the guy does not look all that beat up and his main injury is more of a crushing injury means his thick clothing helped sheild him from the blows. So some people came up, knocked him over, wrapped a noose around his neck and either broke his rib tackling, or more likely while kicking him on the ground. They poured some water on him, and if he is a northern person his clothing is probably frozen and the water would not absorb. perhaps because he had the means to buy an expensive coat it sheds water like his other clothing.

    Bleach may actually not do well on a frosty heavy coat. If it does not break through the frozen water onto the fabric it would just have frozen and fallen off like water.

    It might leave a slight odor which would be smelled later. Bleach activates with heat stupid people on the right. In a cold water situation the cloth may not suffer problems.

    @Zombie who must have failed general bleach chemistry or done a load of laundry might want to educate himself on how bleach and liquids work in -20

    If you don't agree with the ego-explanation (kid craves attention, wants to save the world by ridding it of Trump, cut himself by accident, came up with a bold lie certain he would be believed without challenge based on recent history of events), then try asking a different question.

    Why did so many leftie brains break (and apparently remain broken) when they found out Trump won the election he couldn't possible win? There are still plenty of signs of trauma following the "reality" of 2016 - for a lot of folks it hasn't quite set in that indeed Trump is really the President.

    Quit looking for rationality when we see daily examples of its absence.

    We've been over this. It was obviously a targeted attack. The type of liquid used or its purpose has not yet been disclosed. He was seen on camera with the rope still around his neck so presumably the police have that too. He was not hospitalized, he was treated and released. Furthermore, according to the initial police report the reason it took 30-40 minutes to call the cops is that he didn't even want to report it at first, his friend had to talk him into it. Not a sign of somebody looking for publicity.

    According to this both the rope and an item of stained clothing were taken into evidence.

    :lol: Then you have a very limited imagination. I mean, really, it's not hard given the "all MAGA supporters are racist/sexist/homophobic" narrative.

    Well at least there's some physical evidence then. None of the new articles anyone posted up ever mentioned it, so it's nice to know there's some actual physical evidence. It's still really too bad that there's no surveillance footage.

    Yes, that is what MAGA is about. They want to Make America great again like when we had segregation and blacks and women could not vote. That is what it stand for, and they made it that way. Why are you pretending it means something else when so much effort was made to keep it racist, sexist, homophobic and culturally obtuse?

    You truly are living in a fantasy world. :lol: Unlike you, I actually know some MAGA supporters, and the biggest one I know isn't even white. I suppose that doesn't even compute for you though, huh? :diacanu:

    Or sends their own kids to camps for being gay to get fixed through psychological torture until they kill themselves. Or slowly chip away at their civil rights under the guise of protecting “religious freedom”, which is the freedom to be a bigot without any of the negative consequences. Or scream and protest at the thought of teaching kids that’s it’s okay to be LGBTQ so those kids aren’t bullied or end up killing themselves because they claim it will turn kids LGBTQ, but really they just want to keep a social stigma.

    no surveillance footage is no surprise! :shakefist: Can someone explain to me how technology can enable almost everyone to take high def pictures with cheap ass cell phone cameras, but cameras that are enabled to identify criminals cannot? :chris:
    Nearly every bank/store picture is grainy & blurry or taken from a fucked-up angle. :jayzus: Hey banks! Great job of putting cameras on the ceiling so we have a detailed view of the top of the robbers head! :yes:
