Or just ignored his mistake by quibbling over some irrelevant detail, amirite?
Why would that make a difference? As I recall, there's video of James Fields running over Heather Heyer (and he's been convicted of the crime), but the alt-right still claims it was a frame-up and she died of a heart attack or something like that.We knew that. What we don’t have is video of him being attacked.

My point is, why should anyone bother jumping through any hoops to prove anything to people who will never accept any amount of proof? And especially when it's not necessary? It doesn't matter what you think because you're not the law.
Because there is a huge gap between idiots thinking she died of a heart attack, vs what is happening here.
There are some gaps in this story that, even if you feel are unlikely, is still room for what is claimed to be false.
Sure, the story still might be false. But demanding a video tape of the crime itself is an absurdly high bar. I doubt even 1% of all crimes are captured on video.
A video of the crime is too high for me as well. But, I also think the bar of accepting claims is absurdly too low.
To me, I think its perfectly reasonable to not accept the claim as fact until we have evidence that backs up the claims.
Where did you get the idea that I said we should accept claims without question or proof? I clearly did not say that. Nor do I believe that.
What I said (quite clearly I thought) was that if someone is going to set the standard of proof at some unreasonably high level, and they have a history of not accepting that unreasonably high standard even it is met, and their opinion isn't relevant anyway... then who the fuck cares?

Neighbor Says She Saw Suspicious 'Redneck' ... With Rope
She says she noticed what looked like a rope, or a clothesline, protruding from the bottom of his sweatshirt, made of white and blue material. She says he was staring at another man about 300 feet away, who was standing near another entrance to the building.She says she got "creeped out" by the man, and after 5 minutes she retreated back into the building.
From your article: "She says she noticed what looked like a rope, or a clothesline, protruding from the bottom of his sweatshirt, made of white and blue material".
Sounds to me like it may have been an observant jew, not a "redneck".

I.e., she saw his blue and white tzitzit hanging out

Pretty strange to mistake an orthodox Jew for a "red neck." But then, anything is possible.

I like it how it's the media who are fanning these racial flames and not, yaknow, the alt-right crazies who can't stop talking about racial issues.
Well, I guess it might look that way when you intentionally cherry-pick situations that weren't as they first appeared while willfully ignoring all of the racially-motivated mass murders that have actually occurred.Well... uhh... the media is going ape over it. It's kinda hard to support the alt-right when you aren't constantly feeding them more ammo.
1. I didn't say "orthodox". I said "observant". Orthodox implies, at least to me, some thing like Hasidic.
2. I saw nothing in her description, clothing or otherwise, that indicated a "redneck".
I've been to service in Temple and I'm accustomed to seeing the white/blue "clothesline" or rope hanging out from under their sweater/shirt/jacket. I recall the first time I attended one, I thought it was odd and asked my wife what the heck it was.

That's ludicrous!... there's video of James Fields running over Heather Heyer (and he's been convicted of the crime), but the alt-right still claims it was a frame-up and she died of a heart attack or something like that.

She says, "He looked out of place." He was a white man with scruff on his face wearing a blue winter beanie, a blue zip-up sweatshirt with a hood and blue jeans that were too short, exposing "thick, grey hunting socks" with camel-colored dress shoes.
You do have a point there. What is this all about? The person that has the answer is Jussie Smollet and maybe his accomplices. If he was helped pulling off this sensational attack! All eyes revert to him.Right, because it is in the best interest of a successful actor to make this shit up.
Anything to deny the uptick in racist and anti Semitic attacks since your boy took office. I guess he inspires you as well.
Maybe I'll send a note to Idris Elba, dude why don't you toss away your entire acting career and make up a story of MAGA heads attacking you.

Maybe - you can never say never. He is an actor like OJ. IN OJ'S case - he was an actor too. And two people wound up dead! So - Go figure!ah, so now it was all staged with crisis actors and everything!
don't you have a pizza parlor to go shoot up?
