Yes this! Zoonart Feb 2019 #1

Thank you, Zoonart. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #2

I posted the names last night. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #59

Everyone of the cases you list has had massive coverage nationally and on DU. MadDAsHell Feb 2019 #5

All of those cases got "massive coverage" on DU? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #7

they did,...every one listed, we, at DU, responded to their murders Demonaut Feb 2019 #9

Some people responded - but they did NOT get "massive coverage" EffieBlack Feb 2019 #11

what sheshe says it the TRUTH but what he did was to belittle their deaths and make more occurrences Demonaut Feb 2019 #12

If Smollett lied about being the victim of a hate crime, he's responsible for more police murders EffieBlack Feb 2019 #15

and I asked you once if his lies would be ever justified..and you said "nope"..what changed? Demonaut Feb 2019 #17

I never said that to you EffieBlack Feb 2019 #22

see below Demonaut Feb 2019 #23

Oh, good Lord - don't you even read things before you post them? I'm not Madville EffieBlack Feb 2019 #26

lol, I asked you a question and someone else replied Demonaut Feb 2019 #32

Yes. Something that was obvious on its face before you claimed I said something I didn't say EffieBlack Feb 2019 #34

I made a mistake...I admitted it, will he? and will you agree he made a mistake? Demonaut Feb 2019 #36

You didn't admit a mistake Empowerer Feb 2019 #58

I made a mistake on the identity of the responder...get a grip Demonaut Feb 2019 #75

Mistaking the poster is one thing, but accusing a DUer of saying something she didn't say and then Empowerer Feb 2019 #81

whatever...havaniceday Demonaut Feb 2019 #83

"SheShe is right" jberryhill Feb 2019 #102

Lol. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #115

One did. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #13

Yep EffieBlack Feb 2019 #16

Yep. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #51

Some blips from the radar......... jberryhill Feb 2019 #103

Yes they did. cwydro Feb 2019 #37

You posted an OP about it? sheshe2 Feb 2019 #74

I post OPs once in a blue moon. Sorry. cwydro Feb 2019 #80

Same national 24/7 coverage that the Disappearance of Natalee Holloway got? sheshe2 Feb 2019 #49

Stop watching Fox News. No other media outlet is covering stories like Holloway 24/7. nt MadDAsHell Feb 2019 #52

CNN did. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #53

No, CNN actually criticized other networks for their saturation coverage of that story jberryhill Feb 2019 #117

I did not say is... sheshe2 Feb 2019 #63

"Attack and accuse." SixString Feb 2019 #77

Given that Google is a click away.... jberryhill Feb 2019 #116

Yep Ace Rothstein Feb 2019 #65

Hey Ace? sheshe2 Feb 2019 #70

I agree. We talked about nearly all of these incidents. Calista241 Feb 2019 #139

"There are a dozen or more posts per day about Jesse Smollett's possible lies" SixString Feb 2019 #6

Read DU. sheshe2 Feb 2019 #14

I think I've seen maybe three. cwydro Feb 2019 #39

and he undermines all those you've listed..their injusties, their murders Demonaut Feb 2019 #8

Who "undermines" those injustices? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #10

Smollett Demonaut Feb 2019 #18

What does he have to do with those other incidents and how does he undermine them? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #24

when he claims it was a racist and trump related attack and it wasn't Demonaut Feb 2019 #25

That he's a liar? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #27

give it a broader consideration Demonaut Feb 2019 #28

Exactly what "broader consideration" would you like me to give it? EffieBlack Feb 2019 #29

are you asking me to make up your mind? Demonaut Feb 2019 #30

No, dear. I'm asking you to make some sense. EffieBlack Feb 2019 #31

but you never answered my question, "would he be ever justified in lying" Demonaut Feb 2019 #35

You really should think about leaving this Smollett case out of your problems with DU posters. cwydro Feb 2019 #38

This message was self-deleted by its author sheshe2 Feb 2019 #45

Lol. cwydro Feb 2019 #87

+1000 JustAnotherGen Feb 2019 #119

I remember dozens of threads about those cases. Perhaps you weren't paying attention. cwydro Feb 2019 #41

I think that's a common error on DU: trying to gauge interest/outrage by the number of threads. Dr. Strange Feb 2019 #43

You are exactly right! Phentex Feb 2019 #44

If you go through my posting history, it's mostly disagreements with other posters theboss Feb 2019 #113

I vehemently agree with you jberryhill Feb 2019 #118

I remember support for Zimmerman. nt sheshe2 Feb 2019 #47

There's always a cohort eager to explain/defend racist behavior Empowerer Feb 2019 #62

Spot effing on! sheshe2 Feb 2019 #64

Because it's bullshit. Glamrock Feb 2019 #42

"now here's some fuckwit that gives us a reason to ignore point one" Empowerer Feb 2019 #48

In an ideal world, that would be true. Glamrock Feb 2019 #69

That's exactly how it works in the real world. Empowerer Feb 2019 #72

Okay Glamrock Feb 2019 #73

Thank you. cwydro Feb 2019 #88

Thank you Glamrock Feb 2019 #89

A lot of things are "spelled both ways on the net" Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #76

"I think that there's a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and betsuni Feb 2019 #79

Seriously. Like 'Barack' and 'Barrack.' SMC22307 Feb 2019 #123

"Spelled both ways on the net" is no excuse Rob H. Feb 2019 #78

When you can't come up with a cogent response, try to deflect by taking away points for spelling Empowerer Feb 2019 #82

Even though both spellings have been used on the internet. George II Feb 2019 #86

And even if they haven't Empowerer Feb 2019 #92

Exactly. The days of pointing out misspellings and mistakes in grammar, etc. ended in the 1990s George II Feb 2019 #93

Indeed Empowerer Feb 2019 #96

His official Twitter and .com site spell his name "Jussie." SMC22307 Feb 2019 #121

Why not admit to a simple error? SMC22307 Feb 2019 #124

I agree, care should be taken to get names right. namahage Feb 2019 #134

Why can't you show him the respect to at least get his name right? Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #61

Excuse me? Here is a report from a Southern California/LA online newspaper: George II Feb 2019 #84

Folks just seem to be running around in circles given some of the reactions. lapucelle Feb 2019 #91

And here are dozens of sources that spelled it right melman Feb 2019 #94

Nice work, but you completely missed the point George II Feb 2019 #95

No I didn't melman Feb 2019 #100

What the heck are you talking about? They refer to him as 'Jussie' Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #128

It's been edited, the headline is now completely different. Did you bother to look at the link... George II Feb 2019 #129

Nonsense. The article clearly spells it Jussie. In the article and the tag. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #130

What does the URL say? THAT was the original headline and was reflected in the original... George II Feb 2019 #131

It looks like Sanestina Hunter, the author, spelled his name wrong and corrected it. Good for her. Autumn Feb 2019 #135

Shhhhh.... George II Feb 2019 #136

I think it's the 24 hour news mentality and being constantly outraged. WeekiWater Feb 2019 #85

That's horrific. What are DUer's thoughts on making it stop? SMC22307 Feb 2019 #126

He's an entertainer, he's been called a "star". He went on shows to publicize the attack. JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2019 #112

Good question!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #127
