It bothers me that you've got so many paragraphs of "if this guy faked being attacked, fuck him," and not a single word of "if he was attacked for real, fuck the attackers."

It's not like there's any shortage of indisputable racist-and-homophobic violence out there. The mass-murder at Pulse wasn't even three years ago. This guy's story is totally credible. Why be so blase about it?

And "this violence that reflects badly on conservatives was all faked!" is a bog-standard right-wing talking point. No matter how obviously real (murdered children! pipe bombs in people's mailboxes!) the situation is. Why are people so willing to knee-jerk react like maybe this time they're on to something?

Not to mention: the official statement from the Chicago police is that the "it's a hoax!" media reports "are unconfirmed by case detectives," and "we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate."

I assumed anyone with half a brain would know that if it is true then fuck the attackers. unfortunately, it is looking more and more like he faked it.

"I assumed anyone with half a brain would know that if it is true then fuck the attackers."

This, holy shit, does that even NEED to be said?????

Considering the caliber of human that's been yowling about this being fake news from the moment it happened, anyone with half a brain is going to assume that your reaction to even the most indisputable evidence of it being true would remain 'but what if fake tho'.

In a perfect world everyone would know that, but in our world there's a whole lot of apparently-functioning adults who don't. And, listen, you've gotta know those people also tend to be eager for excuses to go off on angry rants about gay black guys. So it's reeeeally worth spelling it out, and not taking it for granted.

The media reporting has been such a mess, I'm not making any judgments.

He's not even saying that he didn't fake it, it appears that now he isn't even cooperating with the police anymore.
