Charges Dropped in the Jussie Smollett Case

[1972 Grad]

Pretty much all of it. I just find it so comical that people as old as you and 69 can be so moronic despite revolving around the sun so many times.

The Earth revolves around the Sun? Who knew?

Jussie Smollett investigation cost $130,000. Rahm Emanuel says Chicago will make 'Empire' actor pay

I've agreed with Rahm Emanuel exactly one time...

This happens to be it.

You all must be using funny money. Police beatings on civilians and a fabricated beating by 2 Nigerians is not the same coin.

Correct, both are race baiting.

 

[azVolFan]

Nope. Just saying it is indeed an objectively racist statement to claim that white folks are inherently less prone to passing the blame.

Blame for what exactly?

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Is he a pitcher or catcher?

 

[azVolFan]

Apparently he is the victim of prosecutorial misconduct. Why else do you think they dropped the charges?

Leftists do and say whatever they want and there are no consequences. It's out of control.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Good to see him focusing on the big picture. Lol.

Maybe he should have a beer summit at the WH.

No. What we have is fake hate crime tied to democrat politicians and their anti-lynching bill == someone pulled strings to make people stop looking into it.

OK

You know that he is playing both sides.

This didn’t move anyone to finally be outraged.

Thinking there is absolutely nothing wrong with this decision is absolutely stupid.

Who could have ended up being compromised by this case? Obviously it's someone with a lot of influence..... a lot of influence

Regardless of whether Jussie is guilty or not, this entire situation pisses me off because it takes validity from actual hate crimes that occur. It diminishes those crimes, makes people think they don't matter or are a stunt, and frankly hurts the LGBTQ community far more than it helps.

Blame for what exactly?

For their own problems, apparently. This is based off what 72 stated.

Smollett took a plea deal from the prosecutors, this obviously included him pleading guilty. This also included him paying a 10K fine. The problem is that the Chicago police department is actually overstepping their bounds. Their job is to arrest a suspect, gather necessary information and then turn that over to the prosecutors. That is where their power stops. After that it is up to the prosecutors and judicial system to handle the rest.

As for the city trying to get money out of Smollett for the investigation, that's just laughable and they won't get a dime from him. 130 grand is nothing to the city of Chicago and truthfully that's probably a greatly inflated dollar amount for the purposes of the media.

He didn't plead guilty as far as I know.

How many local police matters did Obama's justice department investigate? I seem to remember quite a few.

And only for upholding the law against real criminals.

And had a race war kicked off and people killed over a hoax?
The above is my issue with this. This could have been very bad.

"race war"

Isn't this what you weirdos keep prepping for? Got your 'bug out' bag ready with no place to go.

How many of those involved high profile homicides? Despite that, how many of those did you think were a good idea for him to weigh in on? It was a poor idea then and a worse idea now.

I don't disagree. Was more pointing out that LG didn't complain about it when the former did it.

Question for you on this...

Who should check the DA's office to see if there was any undue influence or corruption that led to what happened?
