Jussie Smollett

[Strontium]

Still, what do we read into the fact that a single (alleged) false racist attack is getting more coverage than the thousands of legitimate racist attacks in the United States put together.

I think it's a natural human reaction to believe a victim, in this case quote unquote. That said, this story has put a lot of people's brains in a pretzel. Plenty of people still don't want to believe he could have faked it despite the investigations and facts that have come out because he's a minority and they can't point fingers. 

(No rep left soz)

 

i agree, but there were so many people willing to use this to further their own agenda it was untrue. 

 

You can bet your life the MAGA kid and this idiot will be front and foremost of the Trump 2020 campaign - Fake News.

Agreed and now this will be used as jurisprudence for people to doubt future legitimate incidents. As funny as this is in isolation, it will have a bad effect.

He was actually getting plenty of coverage when people thought it was real and the fact it turned out to most likely had been staged is such an incredible twist that justifies huge interest.

Watching the footage of him and I guess his entourage leaving after he has been bailed with faces like he has been somehow wronged was incredible.

Because its someone in the public eye. As unfortunate as that is, thats the case. 

 

I imagine a good 20 people have been shot dead across America today but if some cunt shot Britney in her toxic snatch it would be all over the world live bulletin shit (pardon the pun) 

 

That said, I've never heard of this cunt. 

[VladimirIlyich]

What an utterly bizarre story. Did he really use two Nigerians and say they said 'This is Trump country' during the beating? That is unbelievably amateurish and sounds like an episode of Punked or Jackass.

Right I'll be back in 5

All charges against Smollett dropped. Servings of Humble Pie all round.

Was this the one who allegedly faked the attack? Why humble pie though?

I think a lot or people had pegged him down as being guilty of setting it all up prior to the case getting to court.

But that wouldn't warrant a thread of several pages though.

[Captain Turdseye]

The police released a detailed report of the evidence they had. Phone calls, CCTV, etc. It’s bizarre. 

[Bjornebye]

Beyond a reasonable doubt over there isn’t it so his lawyer probably claimed he was still logged into his Netflix at home or some shit. 

[Red Phoenix]

If he wasn't rich and famous and this whole thing wasn't caught up in so much politics, things might have gone a whole lot differently.

 

My verdict : egging.

[Fugitive]

Apparently, the Police are now looking for Anny Road in connection with the attack.

[cloggypop]

What's he famous for apart from this? 

 

I'd never heard of the cunt.

US tv series called Empire, I'd never heard of him before either. He's managed to send right wing twitter into a total Trumptardian frenzy with this though so it's not all bad.

[TheHowieLama]

He has forfeited his 100k bail to the city and still is facing FBI charges for the letter he sent.

 

Oh, and he has no job.

 

So humble pie all around.

[SasaS]

His lawyer alleges he was indeed attacked by the Nigerian brothers who worked on the show, and that the money he gave them was for nutrition and exercises. Now explanation why did they attack him and stage it as a hate crime.

 

It's got to be the most bizarre case ever.  

[Dr Nowt]

One account I read said the prosecution dropped the case as he was only likely to be sentenced to community service and had already voluntarily carried this out, so it was more they just decided not to proceed on that basis rather than that they have exonerated him.

 

Not sure if that’s accurate or not but anyone saying it isn’t is calling me a racist and I will break their fucking back through their computer.

[TheHowieLama]

They kept 100k - simple

 

And -- racist.

[Dr Nowt]

[TheHowieLama]

If you were black (and so was I) I would stab you repeatedly.

 

Like this:

 

 

Only ALOT harder -- and I would be a young black man not a small white girl.

[SasaS]

But what he did, if he did it, was horrible. Accusing him if he didn't was even worse. They cannot just let it pass like this, he left them the bond and did some community service, who cares.
