Jussie Smollett

[C0|dB|00ded]

All charges have been dropped. Hannity called it weeks ago. Had this been a conservative prank they'd be looking at 10-20.

This is gonna set a very fine precedent. The bleach, ropes, and Subway sandwiches are gonna be flyin' off the shelves all over America now!!!11

This is an interesting break in the culture war.

Even ultra liberal Rahm Emmanuel is very displeased about charges being dropped. As are the Chicago police union.

These false reports should be taken seriously regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, political affiliation or anything else. If they are not, it will only make things worse and does a major disservice to actual victims.

The scary thing is that these 2 MAGA psychos are still on the loose!!

Unfortunately, in the end, to a lot of people, it's a WHOLE LOT MORE than just 2, if you catch my drift.

for the attornies on the board, how does this affect precedent ... future case law?

Don't know, but I was thinking about getting assaulted by some chap-wearing lesbians next week.

I call BS on that. You should try something you don't get at home Wu.

Manhattan PD (or KSU PD?) did the same thing, effectively, with a couple of false flag hate crime reports up at K-State. Been within the past couple of years, one right after the other. No charges were filed for making a false statement, or whatever legalese it is.

Our culture, to include the justice system, is basically incentivizing this sort of terrifically incendiary behavior by not bringing the rule of law down upon the head of offenders.

It does not.

[Shock Top]

NVM. Not worth going down this rabbit hole.

I've just seen some headlines......protests on both side. Can someone tell me what opposing sides those could be?

[ShockingButTrue]

The Big Lie continues.

It's my understanding that no one is really on Smollett's "side" in the protests. As far as I've seen, it's the (for convenience sake) pro-police side saying this is a total sham and then it's the (again, for convenience sake) anti-police side saying that this is all a political charade because no one on the pro-police side was protesting over illegal shootings by cops.

Many thanks, especially for the (much needed) dumbing it down for me. Seriously, that was perfect. I will let knuckleheads be knuckleheads and pay attention elsewhere.
