no it does not but it does highlight how the internet can and often is judge and jury if people are lazy and do not post correct facts and jump to conclusion before the law has been applied.

The police will always investigate all angles and do not just take peoples word for things - they have to use evidence to save court time and innocent lives being ruined

The whole BLM thing is an excellent example of that. A very dangerous road to go down is trial by youtube as we have seen

There's a difference between waiting and seeing what the investigation serves up and outright doubting the victim based on nothing, that is what some people are doing in this thread.

The man was hospitalised, he has been injured so that in itself is proof that something happened, there's no evidence that he had made it up like some people are hinting at in this thread but there's definite evidence that he was attacked.

I think the doubt lies with whether this was actually a hate crime. I personally think it was, since racism and homophobia is embedded in American culture/society. However, that's still a presumption and none of us could bet our lives that this story is 100% true yet.

No evidence of who attacked him yet though, only his word. Nobody is doubting him, we're just waiting for the facts. We've just had a MP in the UK sent to prison for lying to the authorities about what happened, so it is possible to happen.

Us on the forum is not where you're anger should be aimed, we've done nothing but comment on the facts we currently have.

Wait so you won't condemn whoever did this because it is just on the victims words but you'll go and crack an unfunny fat joke about a woman after the Daily Stad tells you she said she's bigger than the Beatles?

Who exactly am I suppose to be condemning? How did the altercation he had happen? What led up to it? What if he is lying about what happened to him, am I suppose to condemn a figment of his imagination?

I will condemn any person that beats somebody up, puts a rope round their neck and throws bleach on them, whether it be a racist attack or some other motive.

And to your other point, it's called a joke, you don't have to laugh, but I'm free to tell it.

This happens to a human being and all some people have to say is accuse him of lying? That’s worrying imo

I don't think anyone has called him an outright liar. The media, by which I suspect all of us discovered this story, have used words like "suspected" and "allegedly" because there are aspects of the story that none of us can confirm are true. We base our assumptions on whether we believe Jussie.

While I agree some of the responses on here are strange considering the severity of this attack, nobody has referred to him as liar or questioned whether he was actually attacked.
