Recently a man was caught and charged in what appeared to be a hoax hate crime.

'MAGA' and the N Word were sprayed on the wall of his business

He was found with spray paint, wearing gloves, and his vehicle was identified by a witness.

There will be no press tour, no celebrity call outs, no demands for justice from the usual crowd

The saying goes that "the lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can strap on his boots"

But there is something else here too

/3

This story will never travel anywhere. No one will even buy it the ticket to get halfway around the world.

Even when the lie is stopped in its tracks the truth goes nowhere

/4

If the witness hadn't seen his vehicle we would likely see another round of press from late night TV, celebrities would demand justice.

This man would be called a victim and a hero for speaking up.

The truth in this case however is meaningless to those people

/5

They will say "this is just one guy, it was ONE incident"

They will say this is an anomaly and doesn't represent what's actually happening in the US

But here is the best part
/6

If he hadn't been caught they would say "This is Trump's America"
If ONE Trump supporter does this it DOES represent what is happening in America.

Like with Jussie Smollett

/7

This IS what is happening in America

A desire to be a victim to defraud the public out of their good will

It happens everyday on Twitter, everyday on Facebook and Youtube

/8

Where the fuck are the adults in the room to say "shut the fuck up" every time some idiot has a temper tantrum about someone being mean on the internet?

/9

You've exhausted our goodwill and we have had enough of being taken advantage of.

Our desire to help and protect people from harm is being manipulated by these evil people to gain power and money

Enough with this shit
