Nope, not quite Rosanna. Possible was being nice. Looks like hoax or never happened is the better answer. Such a sheep
#JussieSmollett -
They're so disappointed, a couple weeks after the Covington high school incident too, maybe one day they'll quit jumping to conclusions and wait for things to play out.... Probably not though.

“Racially charged” is WEAK SAUCE.

As is "possible homophobic"
-
. I rush-tweeted and didn’t initially see that “possible”. I guess they’d call doctors “health-tinged professionals”. The euphemisms for hate-based acts are just insufferable at this point. -
Yes- they even use 'alleged attack' and 'alleged shooting' now. Like ?? What alternatives do they think there are?
-
I think that’s legalities unfortunately. Everything is phrased as allegedly
-
Mmm. There is a point where common sense or decency ought reside. I have seen 'alleged victim' for someone beaten, stabbed and tossed off a bridge. I await the day my eyes and brain are assaulted with the phrase 'allegedly murdered'. You know, for legal reasons.

This is not honest journalism. Either you have enough information to confirm it is a racist and homophobic attack, or you do not. Do not hide behind the cover of "possible" to excuse yourself of culpability. You have a duty to report the truth
-
So the “racially-charged” bit is trash, but when publication’s write “possible hate crime”, it means it’s being investigated as a “possible hate crime.” If they write just “hate crime” it will imply that the investigation has been completed

I thought this was odd. Entertainment Tonight acknowledged the slurs were homophobic but didn't acknowledge the slurs were racist. Instead, they said the slurs were "racial." If they can use "homophobic," why can't they use "racist"? Weird double-stard.pic.twitter.com/O1BVVVbXQ6

Read what happened, then ask yourself why the word “possible” is used
-
I have the same problem with the word possible.

Thank you!! No one is ever going to have to take responsibility for their actions when y'all headline shit with words like "possible"! y'all are in our face, in our phones, on the fucking TV blatantly saying: yeah, we see the hate, but we still think you deserve it
