They’re tripping over themselves to delete their tweets.

They need to lock him up for all 3 years, no bail or early release. He intentionally tried to divide America further by “weaponzing” his race and sexual orientation for personal gain and wasted police resources.

This whole debacle has been super interesting to me from the get-go.
Actually it's incitement, more than a hate crime. He was trying to stir up trouble. A hate crime is one aimed at an identifiable group.

Well ... though political affiliation isn't a group that's covered under the hate crime definition one could make the argument that this crime was motivated by Jussie's prejudice against white people.

I mean, if we're going to have hate crimes, let's apply it across the board.

They are not innocent. They helped this cretin as you call him commit a crime.

But I fear he needs some mental health attention more than anything. He is not right in the head to do all of this. So wrong.

It won't surprise me that his "mental condition" will be on the table for his defense and psychological examinations will be arranged by the defense team. Trump Derangement Syndrome is claimed to be a real mental disorder by some therapists. Sorta like a "mass hysteria" that clouds a person's judgement........or something.

I really don't think he is delusional. He thought doing this would make Trump and Trump supporters look bad and damage Trump politically and push the narrative of the left that Trump incites hate crimes with his rhetoric.

And at first that is what happened. But getting caught doing so actually validates the narrative of Trump and his supporters in their minds of fake news and the left being out smear him and them at all costs. Like the old saying "Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you."

Additionally, despite the non stop whining and wailing about Trump and his supporters, it's going to ratchet up to a level we couldn't even imagine.

A lot of time will be wasted, a lot of money will be wasted, and a lot of people will be targeted who didn't do anything.

They would be stupid to let him walk.
No reason to make a deal. They have the evidence.
