Hate crime hoax

Crystal Mangum walked out of a North Carolina prison last month, 15 years after she fatally stabbed her boyfriend, Reginald Daye. Five years before her murder conviction, however, Mangum made national headlines when she accused members of Duke University’s lacrosse team of raping her. The accusation was false, but the furor surrounding that 2006 case provoked a firestorm that had a radicalizing effect on many students at Duke, including President Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller. Twenty years later, we live in a world shaped to a remarkable degree by a lie told by a stripper.

I remember this.

Another complaint has landed on the desk of StopHateAB, this time aimed at Alberta Prosperity Project’s CEO Mitch Sylvestre and Jeff Rath. Their comments at a January 7 town hall in Didsbury — about mass immigration, cultural change, and the future of religious freedom — have been framed as dangerous, even hateful.

Jussie Smollett has reached a settlement with the city of Chicago over the 2019 ‘hate crime’ hoax lawsuit.

Smollett was convicted in December 2021 for lying to police about an alleged episode in Chicago two years before, where he claimed two men beat him, yelled homophobic slurs and placed a noose around his neck while wearing MAGA hats.

The former Empire actor’s, 42, conviction was overturned last year due to a due process violation.

Legislators at all levels tend to think they were elected to legislate. Actually, they were elected to do the opposite, to slow, even halt the grinding of the gears of big government. They were elected to do that by sane, normal Americans, people who understand big government is the problem, not the solution. We have no shortage of laws and regulations, so legislators should only write and pass absolutely necessary laws, laws that don’t duplicate what’s already on the books, laws that do not infringe on liberty and that provide a clear, necessary public benefit.

Hate crime laws are not among them.

Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) accused Republicans of sending threatening phone calls and “swatting” Democrats. He laughably tried to take the high road saying that “House Democrats will not be deterred or intimidated from serving the people by violent threats.”

A Texas Democrat faked racist comments to himself, and he’s facing charges. A Democrat-supporting media has put up a fake Pro-Trump website, evidently being part of a plan to get Progressives elected by using a “unique, innovative digital strategy.”

These ridiculous hate hoaxes are nothing new for the Left.

Police recorded a soiled pair of underwear hung on a washing line as a non-crime hate incident (NCHI), it has emerged.

In September 2021, a woman complained to North Wales Police that her neighbours had “hung a very large soiled pair of underpants on their washing line” for the past two months.

The force recorded it as a hate incident because the complainant had an Italian surname and the underwear was first put on the washing line in July that year. That month, Italy defeated England on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final of football’s European Championships.

The Illinois Supreme Court overturned disgraced Empire actor Jussie Smollett’s hate crime hoax on Thursday, ruling that he cannot be tried again.

Cook County’s State’s Attorney Kim Fox had initially struck a plea deal with Smollet, requiring the actor to forfeit his $10,000 bond and complete 15 hours of volunteer community service.

Shitty deal for a shitty human who is guilty as shit.

Three supporters of Colorado Springs’ Black mayor set up a burning cross and spray-painted a racist slur on one of his campaign signs during the 2023 mayoral runoff in an attempt to help then-candidate Yemi Mobolade get elected, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Derrick Bernard Jr., 35, Ashley Blackcloud, 40, and Deanna West, 38 were indicted in early November on federal charges of conveying false information about a threat, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release Wednesday. The charges were initially kept secret and were unsealed Tuesday, court records show.

Liberal MP Sean Casey would have done better last week condemning the pesky mosquito, that scourge of summer, rather than issuing a self-righteous, moralizing manifesto that appeared to attack Canadians.

High on dudgeon, but low on fact, Casey went to bat for a group of foreign workers in Charlottetown, PEI, who claimed that a protesters’ tent was deliberately set on fire while people were sleeping inside.
