Indeed. I become more and more dubious of TMZ and their trickle information spew. I don't know if "the public deserves to know" as an investigation plays out like in this case seeing as it throws the public into a conspiracy-mongering frenzy. This is particularly shitty when an actual serious violent crime is at the center. It all gives me anxiety.
Yup.
I don't really see it as "something's fishy" as much as I see it as "nothing stays pinned down". Every time the case is going somewhere that looks like a conclusion, something happens or someone reports something that just churns shit up.
Everyone was talking like we were so sure the siblings would be charged, I'll admit that I was behaving like it was a closure to the incident and we all finally had something to hang our hats on, that we had some stability in the discussion. And suddenly, the tea table got up-ended yet again.
It's part of why "the facts don't add up" never really washed with me, especially considering the flimsy arguments it was used to prop up right from the get-go. The more pressing concern is that none of what we apparently "know" stays that way. We're essentially back at square one. And that's incredibly frustrating.
This is what I was getting at in my last posts. Just look at how wild this all is. People should be able to try and hash it all out in the open ( so long as they're doing so in a non-trollish manner) without fear of being perma-banned
You... might not want this fella to be the poster boy of your cause. As you may recall from the beginning of the thread, he was the first to go down this road, stating on the first page that Smollett's assault was suspicious from the get-go because it was 2am and cold outside, which meant that the attack required premeditation that apparently racists are incapable of... somehow. You even responded to him with disapproval over his behaviour and he got banned for floating conspiracy theories.
In that context, what does the post of his that you quoted appear to be? Because I don't think it's emblematic of your point.
