Huh? No one is jumping to conclusions here. Journalists with sources are gathering information on the ground and reporting what they find, and I’m an intelligent person with critical-thinking skills. In the previous case it was a Twitter mob drawing conclusions based only on viral snippets that did not tell the whole story — and I faulted the journalists for NOT DOING THEIR JOBS, if you recall.

Looking at a photo of a kid in a MAGA hat and a Native American man and saying: "His look says I am BETTER THAN YOU ARE because I am white, so I will not move out of your way" (total speculation) and writing "Jussie Smollett follows his attackers on Instagram, and there are photos of the guys at Jussie's gym" (fact) are NOT the same thing.

This is exactly what I was talking about: Well-intentioned people can no longer distinguish between facts and conjecture. This is very disturbing and is part of the reason why we lost the 2016 election.

And not that it’s relevant but since you brought it up: The guys is this case are way hotter than some snot-nose boys from Kentucky — are you blind?
