I remain skeptical until proven/police verify them. Another quote from the same person.
“My sister just sent me this:
There are people on the bus who support trump and they said ‘can’t wait to get on a bus soon and see only one color’ ‘trump will finally take them out’
ON A NYC PUBLIC BUS”
Have you ever been on a NYC public bus? I have, everyone's too scared to say anything in case there's a crazy guy on board.
This is something that I can say is almost guaranteed to be fake, especially when combined with the above statement happening in the same period.
Not even 24 hours yet. My friend's sister, who is Muslim, had a knife pulled on her by a Trump supporter while on the bus by UIUC campus.
Official police response
@amyharvard_ This has not been reported to police. If you are in contact with anyone involved, please encourage them to give us a call.
Threatened with a knife with no police report, huh? She then said she would send a police report, and never did.
Today I was harassed by an older white man who presumed I was Mexican. "I can't wait until Trump asks us to rape your people and send you back over the damned wall we're going to build. Go back to hell, wet back." After saying all of that, he threw the water in his cup in my face, gave me the middle finger, and ran off...
I don't have a facebook so I can't look at the messages, but again, high levels of doubt until anything's brought to the police/investigated. An old guy coming up and giving a long speech, throwing something in her face, and walking away? At a first glance I don't buy it. Old people don't really throw shit in people's faces and run..
I read most of them. Know what I didn't find? A valid police report that has any leads/evidence of injury.
Take a look at those people's twitter profiles and you'll see several media requests for paid interviews.... And you wonder why people are so skeptical of the media? They manufacture victims by giving attention/money.
There's SO many fake accusations flying aroudn right now and I can't find a single legitimate one which appears to have actually happened/look like a hate crime. Virtualy all of these are coming from people who write for media outlets against Trump/have had anti-trump propoganda plastered all over their facebook profile for 12 months/choose now to submit a police report.
Even the most credible seeming one (2 seperate attacks against Hijab wearing Muslims on 2 seperate school campuses) is fishy as fuck, and sounds like a normal roberry (Also, it was commited by a Hispanic supposedly).
If it's true, I hope they catch the purpotrator/throw the book at them... But, what does this have to do with Trump? Car jackings/roberries are kind of common place in larger city areas in the USA.
I'd recommend checking them out with the reddit /r/thatHappened/. They're pretty good about finding inconsistencies/bullshit.
Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that there IS a lot of bullshit/fake stories going around, I'm sure we can agree (Not speaking to the validity of any of these ones here). So it makes sense to have a healthy doubt unless there's a lot of evidence/a complete police report. We're simply not going to know factually if crazies will begin a purge-style anti-minority campaign for at least a year, so there's no point speculating now.
What's the typical time frame for social media internet trends? When Blaming trump for things wears off, I'd be willing to bet these stories are going to stop.
