In reply to the discussion: Remember when Jussie Smollett reported being attacked in a horrific anti-gay, anti-black hate crime [View all]jberryhill
(62,444 posts)In your run-on rhetorical question #2, you accuse others of taking his non-cooperation as proof of something to hide.
When asked if there is proof of his being attacked, you say there is evidence of his being attacked.
Its a conversational double standard which, surprise, only works one way.
Someone could consider his non-cooperation to be evidence of having something to hide.
Someone could consider his own testimony as evidence he was attacked.
Neither is proof of either proposition.
And thats your basic hypocrisy here. As with anything, there is evidence either way.
Yeah, some people speculated that his lack of cooperation was a reason to doubt him. Just like you have proposed with Fairfaxs accuser not reporting a crime.
Is it proof? No. But you are not so forgiving in your OP when you accuse others of claiming that evidence was proof.
So then someone asks if there is proof of an attack, in the manner that you have accused others of claiming proof of evasion, and what did you? You hedge by saying there is evidence of one.
Well, golly, there was evidence that he was being evasive in the investigation into his claims too.
So, no, other than Im upset people dont think the way I do and dont see things my way I well and truly still do not understand the point of the OP.
