It’s a bad day to be Jussie Smollett

[ReliableOstrich]

Oh there's a lot of benefit to learn from this case.

I think there’s a lot of animosity to stoke by dwelling on it. Do you consider exacerbating animosity a benefit to society?

Why would learning about a case be a bad thing?

Dwelling on and obsessing over it adds very little value. Unless your goal is to stoke animosity, which you seem to be trying to do under the cover of "learning".

Would you have said the same if it really happened? Or just moved past it as another hate crime and not wanted to "dwell or obsess" over it to stoke animosity? Just interested if it goes both ways because it doesn't seem to.

This guy faked a vicious hate crime to divide this country more. The evidence proves this AND he did it after his first "alleged" attempt with the powdered letter didn't create enough outrage. The city spent taxpayer dollars and sent the police on a wild goose chase in a city already struggling with violence.

Publicizing this case and punishing him within the law shows fake outrage and division is wrong and doesn't work - curious what will happen in another fake hate crime where a transgender person(community citizen of the year) burned their own house down to create outrage and support for a new community center and city ordinance.

Hope this string of false reporting ends.

I see you have dug in so I will just say "good day".

...also we need to find out where these two perps who attacked him are as they are still out roaming the streets...

If it really happened it would be a viable criminal case, provided the police were able to track down the perps.
If it the DA decided to pursue charges against Smollet, it would be a viable case.

In either of the above scenarios, it would be in the public domain for discussion. So it does "go both ways". This however is now a dismissed case with a sealed record, wherein no info will become public unless someone commits a crime and leaks it. What good is obsessing over it now? There's no new info, just a bunch of internet jackals with conspiracy theories and an axe to grind.

"This guy faked a vicious hate crime to divide this country more." -- that's not entirely true. He allegedly did it in order to get attention so he could get paid more. Even if it were true that he simply did this to divide the country, do we then jump head first into the trap he set, esp when we know he most likely faked it? That's kind of ridiculous and gives him exactly what you claim he wanted. All these folks calling him a scumbag then turn around and do exactly what they think he asked them to do.

I agree it has brought him all the attention he wanted and never doubted it would. He'll have book deals and guest spots on screen for years. On camera walking through the photogs and mics it looks to me like he's loving it.

When I see the police superintendent, who no doubt has all the evidence, call it an injustice I tend to believe him over a few politically motivated attorneys.

It is a dismissed case, but he took a "deal" to forfeit his bond and do some BS community service.

Guess there is still mail fraud to hope for.
