My interest has turned to the workings of our system and it's levying punishment for an offense. Will those in position who are pissed use their positions correctly or will they administer punishment to appease their personal pissatudes? (made that up)

But doesn't it? Didn't he blame Trump supporters?
I'm not asking rhetorical questions. I'm not really following the story. So I don't know the details. Just comedians on my twitter referencing the events is all I know. And since it's so unimportant. I don't have the motivation to research it.

The brothers claim Smollett instructed them to buy red baseball caps and shout, "This is MAGA country!" so, yeah, I'd say Smollett was trying to frame a specific group.

Yes, Jussie Smollet IS a Racist
His crime should include a Hate crime charge
He tried to frame White People for a fake crime

Smollet is very obviously A Racist
^But the media doesn't want to say it.

but the essence of "maga" hate = racist white people. Not ALL white people. Does every white person support trump and his policies? Unless you're saying mr smollet believes all white people are more or less racist and maga hat wearers.

I find it fascinating that it is totally lost on you that you are part of the problem.

I can't be part of the problem. I dont have a system of black supremacy. no such thing. but we do know there is a system of white supremacy. we do know quite a few of those Maga hat wearers are racist and always have been.

So again. Does Smullet think All White people are racist, or just the Maga Hat wearing ones? Or do you think all white people wear maga hats?

Watched Empire tonight. Smollett was in episode 10. I guess they wrote him out of 11, 12, 13. His lover went back to London and asked him to come with him. I guess that's how they'll write him out. The rating dropped from 8.26 million episode 1 to 6.99 million episode 9. The series has been on a steady decline. This may be the end if the line for Empire.

I would have thought they may get a slight bump last night...and I also had assumed they would just do a re-write to put Smollett's character in the casket that was seen in the earlier flash forward.

He's supposed to be written out of the last two episodes. There are 3 left. His boyfriend went back to London and asked him to go with him, he said no. Since there are 3 left and he was written out of the last 2 I'm guessing the next episode will have him changing his mind and moving to London.

State's Attorney Kim Fox's office says, "After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case."

The statement is consistent with what our sources said about Jussie only getting community service if he'd been convicted.


Makes sense. If that was the likely outcome, it's just not worth not for the DA to open the door to further accusations of unprofessional and unethical behavior by the City and CPD.

Don't care about charges being dropped....but something seems really strange about this. The details of who was involved in this decision will be interesting.
