Of course there isn't.
They see "omg there was a fake hate crime! This confirms to me they're super common!!!! and everywhere in fact they may even make up the majority!"

Are you confused what we are talking about? Because we are talking about punishment and deterrence and the government agency, the national institute of justice.
"Look at these 2-3 things that happened! See they happen all the time"
I disagree. From what i remember the following is true (though without going back i could have missed some claims)
@Spectral explained in adequate detail why he found the claim dubious. [And he seemed spot on at the time]
The rest.. not so much. The rest of the arguments seemed to be verbally to go out with tar and feathers at the mention of the word MAGA
Its a slap on the wrist which rarely involves doing anything thats hard or punishing. Often it involves doing nothing but standing in a soup kitchen and trying to look like you did something and the paperwork is often just pencil whipped. If they want to use labor as a punishment then it should be chain gang style supervised by state police or armed corrections officers
Why do people care so much about this nerd?
While you live, shine / Have no grief at all / Life exists only for a short while / And time demands its toll.
He's black, gay, liberal, wealthy celebrity and lives in the city. Plus, he tried to frame MAGAts so they are especially pissed at him.
Had he been some dumb white college kid the police would have fined/jailed him for a few days, but as usual, celebrity status confuses and mucks things up.
"It's 2013 and I still view the internet on a 560x192 resolution monitor!"
Prrreetty much.
Something similar happened to Paris Hilton some years ago, and was convicted of something. She had a 30 day sentence, got commuted for 3 days and there was an outcry of celebrity privilege, except that was standard procedure because her crime wasn't violent, petty even. I mean, don't get me wrong, celebrities get away with a lot of shit, but they also get more shit than they deserve sometimes.

Celebrity status pretty much means that it will blow up on social media...but no actual legal punishments will be dished out. Doesn't matter if the celebrity is left-wing, right-wing, or neither.
Non-celebrity would get legal punishment...but no one would ever hear about it.
