It's Time for Congress and State Legislatures to Make Hoax Hate Crimes Themselves Hate Crimes, and Felonies to Boot

As Infobee and John Hayward argue -- what is a hoax hate-crime if not an effort to create waves of hatred and possible violence against a race or group?

BTW, Rush Limbaugh read this thread and pointed out, rightly, that we'd be living in a different, more dangerous world if Smollet's plan to get this fake attack on camera worked.

Apparently the camera he thought would film the attack was pointed in the opposite direction.

But if he had gotten this basic fact right, we'd have seen coverage of this staged attack of MAGA-hat wearing white men (wearing gloves and ski-masks to hide their ethnicity) beating up and tying a noose around the neck of a black man.

This would have of course created -- what's that word? -- Backlash against white people, especially those wearing red hats, and put their lives in danger from bad actors seeking racial vengeance.

No one cares about this, huh?

This isn't hypothetical: Crazed leftwing lunatics are now sticking guns into the faces of people for merely wearing MAGA hats and telling them "Today is a good day for you to die."

According to the alleged victim Terry Pierce, a man pulled a gun on him because he was wearing a Make America Great Again (MAGA) hat.

"I have as much right to wear that hat and support my country and my president as he has not to," said Pierce.

The police report confirms that the suspect, identified as James Phillips, admitted to flipping off Pierce and Pierce's wife because of their hats.

Pierce tells 13 News that he was shopping with his wife when Phillips "Pulled a .40 caliber out and stuck it in my face, backed up and said, 'It's a good day for you to die.'"

It's time to criminalize these attempts to stir up Backlash against Republicans, and treat these attempts to stir up lynch parties as the hate crimes they are.

Hoax hate crimes are well beyond the usual threshold at which the media and our Ruling Class declares something to be an "epidemic" and "a scourge which must finally be ended."

Strangely enough, however, this time they're very quiet about the epidemic!

As the Daily Caller reports, there has indeed been an epidemic of hoax hate crimes, and our political-media establishment has done nothing to reduce this epidemic. In fact, they've made it worse, by excusing each new hoax hate crime with the "Deeper Truth" illogic. ("In this particular case, the hate crime may have been a hoax, but the hoax just points out the Deeper Truth of marginalized communities feeling forced to make up hoax hate crimes," etc.)
