On January 29, Two Hate Crimes Occurred. The Media Only Covered The Fake One. Here's Why

On January 29, 2019, Chicago Police opened a hate crime investigation into the alleged assault of Empire actor Jussie Smollett. Smollett, who is black and gay, alleged that two men approached him at 2 a.m. in Chicago, where they shouted “f*****” and “n*****,” tried to wrap a noose around his neck, and poured bleach on him. He also told TMZ that the men shouted, “This is MAGA country.”
The story received unending press. The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), tweeted, “The racist, homophobic attack on [Smollett] is an affront to our humanity.” Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) called it a “modern-day lynching.” Congresswoman and Fresh Face™ of the Democratic Party Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed anyone who questioned the story, tweeting, “The attack was not ‘possibly’ homophobic. It was a racist and homophobic attack.”
The media ran with the story. Good Morning America hosted Smollett, where he maligned anyone who asked questions as a racist and a homophobe. CNN’s Brooke Baldwin stated, “This is America in 2019.” Celebrities parroted their support for Smollett, with many blaming President Trump and Vice President Pence for the attack.
The story was a hoax.
That same night, a Jewish man in New York was beaten by three thugs. Nothing was stolen. The attack was caught on video.
This isn’t the only story of anti-Semitism in New York. Not by a long shot. Two weeks before that beating, a Jewish man, 19, was “violently assaulted” as he walked past a local laundromat by a group of teenage black males. In December, a 16-year-old Jewish teen spent a week in a hospital after being beaten by two other teens; witnesses said that the teens screamed “Kill the Jew.” The NYPD categorized the attack as “gang related” rather than a hate crime, angering Jews in the area. This weekend, vandals shattered the window of a Chabad in Bushwick as the rabbi and his family slept inside.
This list goes on.
In fact, according to NBC New York, “The city has seen a sharp increase in reported hate crimes so far in 2019, the NYPD said. Police had investigated 42 hate crimes through Feb. 4, compared with 19 at the same point last year. Most of those were anti-Semitic.” The New York Times reported in October of last year that “there have been four times as many crimes motivated by bias against Jews — 142 in all — as there have against blacks. Hate crimes against Jews have outnumbered hate crimes targeted at transgender people by a factor of 20.”
None of this has received media attention comparable to the Smollett situation. Why? Because, as the Times also admitted in October, “anti-Semitism bypasses consideration as a serious problem in New York … because it refuses to conform to an easy narrative with a single ideological enemy.” In other words, it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Jussie would have testified against 2 innocent white people had they been caught. He and his leftist cheerleaders need severe beatings.

It's simple. If the narrative doesn't hurt Trump the story is ignored. If the narrative can hurt Trump in any kind of way it's truer than the Holy Bible.

How do they know that the attack was anti-Semitic? Just because the victim was Jewish?

I just find this so strange. What is the motivation behind antisemitism in NY?

Large population of Jews but not a large enough population to physically fight back via a race riot

Because he’s fine doing the same thing the left did with Smollett. Make claims even if the person didn’t or it fits your narrative. Some people are just pieces of shot and will attack innocent bystanders. Sometimes those victims got beat up/attacked for a reason other than being Jewish but he defaults to it.
It’s sad really how many faux anti-sémitismes claims exist too, so it’s a shitty hill to use as an argument.

Just making it clear, if there are any anti-Semitic attacks in NYC in the next week, the police won't care?
I will be there for a conference, and I don't want to run afoul of any law enforcers.

Yelling "kill the jew" may have caused some to believe it could have been a tad bit anti-Semitic

If you watch the video of the Brooklyn assault, you'll realize it had something else in common with the Smollett "attack".
Or, you can read this NYT article about the rise in anti-Semitic violence in the greater metro area. But be sure to read it all the way to the end before you draw any conclusions.

Jews aren’t a race they are a religion There are black white and brown Jews

Pretty sure a hate crime is not exclusive to race.
Posted on 2/19/19 at 1:19 pm to L.A.
Well considering Progressives are openly embracing Jew Haters to the point that they are now electing them and defending them, that could have a little something to do with it.

its a race to the bottom for liberals...facts don't matter...its the kissing arse to a group of people with a high turnout to vote

That’s the current way things work.

Jews are a distinct ethnic group. ‘Jewish’ can refer to either a religion or an ethnicity.

It's just blacks committing violence against white people, it just so happens that in NY a great many white people also happen to be Jewish

I was just attempting to make an argument for why the leftists don't care.
