    Because you need to turn away from the mirror.

    In other news, I often have predetermined judgement when the police agree with a story. Or are we not supposed to believe the police either? Does it have to go all the way to Trump himself saying if it was guilty or not?

    If I heard a story that someone shot another person outside of a gas station, and the report said the police agreed that that's what happened, yea, I'd assume the person actually shot, but I'd want it investigated. How is this any different?

    Coming from someone who displayed said hypocrisy in two separate posts, ~11 mins apart, in this very thread, that's fucking rich!

    There are a ton of reasons and all of them are irrelevant for the reality of what happened.

    That's bullshit and you should know better. If there was a significant increase in these "real" crimes, why is media only covering the fake ones? Please explain. Tell me like I'm a 5th grader, because apparently you have all of this insight that I do not.

    I bet you anything you like that I could re-write this story, change the characters to a Democrat male and an alt-right female and frame it in such a way that you guys would be calling for the woman to be burnt at the stake. This is why trial by media is dangerous.
    You can't make up a false hyperbolic example like you did here and then use it as comparison to claim hypocrisy. That's not how it works.

    Are you even aware of the meaning of the word you're using wrongly?

Mandatory and continual disclaimer -- violence against Trump supporters is just as awful and should be prosecuted and condemned as much as those done by Trump supporters.
    Oh I know the answer to this. They are using the few false reports out of those to completely negate all the others as false as well.

    The guy is a Moron. I mean Sexual Assault has never fallen under the "Politically Correct" banner any way. Not grabbing someones Crotch comes under the "Decent Human" Banner.

    Though I do enjoy the fact everyone is attaching themselves to the fact he's a Republican, as if it makes what he did better or worse.

    You present a hyperbolic made up story as the basis of you claim, and you call us stupid?

    I've got some bad news for you buddy, that tree limb you're standing on is very thin and fragile.

    America has such extreme ways to interpret terms... "politically-correct" is like a huge conqueror that has forced other terms like "manners" "decency" "respect" etc on their knees over there. Same with social justice - how can a movement for re-integration fill an entire political wing and condemn it?

    Strange ways. And certainly something that hopefully not swaps over to us (hell Breitbard is already coming though ).

    Here are a few reasons. First, non reporting. Someone I know got threatened right after the election and the person invoked Trump's name. She decided to not go to the police or the media as it was just verbal threats/harassment and she didn't want to deal with taking action on it.

    Second, local stories often don't make national news, especially if they are run of the mill sorts of things that aren't likely to draw readers. That goes for both Trump and anti-Trump crimes.

    Both anecdotally and reviewing places that tally up incidents it's quite clear which directly the tide is. Only confirmation bias would make you think the only threats or violence post-election were towards Trump supporters.

    A handful of faked incidents doesn't negate the real ones, no matter how much you wish it did.

    And this, really, is the problem with people faking reports. It gives those who wish to ignore it all the tools to do so.

    So why don't you go ahead and read up on it with other sources instead of fueling your pathetic victim complex?

    Being skeptical of slamming someone because of the Media being dodgy as fuck these days is a Victim Complex now? So anytime I see you or anyone else start mouthing off about a Website like Breitbart I can tell you to stop having a pathetic Victim complex?

    I mean the guys a piece of shit if it did happen, but blindly accepting a Media article as fact leads to stupid things. They said they had surveillance Footage so this one is a given but I still don't see where this Victim Complex is meant to come into it.

    Despite what the God King Trump says, not every shred of news is fake. Right now, the FACTS we have are: Several media outlets are reporting on the story. The story as it is, says a woman was grabbed in a manner falling under sexual harassment, and that there was a tape of it. The police have viewed said tape, and have agreed her claims were valid. Unless every single media story is lying that the police did something they do not, it is a high probability that this happened.

    Now, we'll have a little lesson here. Had this individual come into the thread with 'Hey guys, Media is being sketchy, lets not tar and feather him yet until more develops', that would of most likely gone down fine. Instead they came into the thread lashing out at the Left and trying to spin the story that it was all a ploy to smear his name, with, if you'll notice, not even a media story to back it up, thus having less than those he's attacking.

    Should we be sending death threats to this man or be demanding he be in jail this second? No. Should we want to see the story further investigated and have him punished if it did happen the way the story says? Yes. Is that so wrong?

    Your avatar is evil voodoo and I'm now thoroughly triggered.

    OT: How in the fuck is anyone defending this guy? The political mind rot taking root around the world has no boundaries it seems.
    Populists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.

    Some people in this thread pretend there is some grand pattern with this story, as if it's become a daily occurrence. Sorry to disappoint them, but it's not true, no matter how much they wish it was.

    The guy in question is an absolute moron, but is not part of some larger movement (like BLM).
    Yay, another false equivalency!!! (I'm telling you guys, learn that term and use it every day because it keeps coming up)
    Telling someone to shut up (SJWs) is nowhere near comparable to sexual assault (Republican politician).
