Empire Star Arrested for being a d!ck...

Yeah, nothing made a lick of sense from the beginning. Nobody would refer to Chicago as Maga country. Nobody is going to hang out in Sub zero weather for hours to "attack" someone for his skin color and then only scratch him. Then the bleach thing. That was so cheesey that someone would carry around chemicals in the middle of the night to make him white. Then the fact that he wouldn't turn over his phone. Then the fact that he still had the rope around his neck when the police showed up.
That is funny stuff right there! I hope Mr. Smollett will survive his vicious racist attack by his "friends" from Nigeria. That scratch hopefully healed!

Honestly the liberals on this board have shown their ass so many times.
At least these jokers never went full nutjob and resulted in everyone ignoring them like another individual

thank you guys from bumping this tread. really made my morning
I don't call them Liberals, but what they really are ... [Neo-]Progressives. It's an insult to Liberals. Liberals can make a solid argument, even when proven wrong, they can at least have a platform that makes sense to some.
Progressives are a total feedback loop. There's no more proof of that than the need to regurgitate what Trump 'meant,' not what he actually said, as 'News.' They live in their own world and refuse to admit anything. At least Conservatives on this board admit it when they are proven wrong, and don't blindly believe something because Trump said it either.
I've defended Foxx's decision, as I might have made the same in her shoes myself.
But I'm glad a special prosecutor is being appointed, to fully investigate all the circumstances. One major oversight is in how she didn't secure Smollett's mouth, let alone his lawyers. And some of the details that have come out about Foxx since are rather concerning.

You’re the absolute master at showing your ass here. This thread was a perfect example of it.
You falsely claimed I was one of the initial Smollet believers in this thread. And when you discovered you were wrong, did you have the balls to apologize to me? OF COURSE NOT!
I would like to say I didn't believe this story the second I heard it. It was so over the top with ridiculous details of the attack.
I gave him 'benefit of the doubt,' even though it sounded not only like an US Media wet dream, but someone utterly ignorant of how alleged 'flyover territory' acts at all (again, oblivious and naive). I defended his right to have it investigated, although it was getting interesting as he was on a 'world tour' about it.
Then the hammer fell.
That all said, I still defended Foxx's decision, to drop charges. I still do. I would have likely done the same thing. But I do support an independent investigation into all the details. That's just prudent at this point. And Smollett and his lawyers are still scum, regardless. Utterly undermines African-Americans.
I have the same view of Manning when it comes to transgender servicemen and women.
Jussie's attorneys are blaming the city for investigating the fake hate crime running up a tab. Only in America you blame the government for investigating what you claimed happened to you. Many woke people believed the nonsense...just like on this board...lol
I said it before and I'll say it again ...
Smollett is to gay African-Americans as Manning is to transexuals in the service ... totally undermining their arguments, and not a friend at all, but thinking of themselves, completely.
since mc chicken got triggered recently, i figured id remind everyone of some of his best posts.
I reserved judgement and gave the accuser the 'benefit of the doubt' pending police investigation.

But Dave Chappelle basically nailed what every American who isn't priviledged and is actually exposed to real racism actually thought from the get-go, including myself. I think Smollett is the ultimate representation of what happens when people literally get their information from the US Media and really don't know other Americans, especially the ones they loathe -- black or white.
I think I've ate the most popcorn this year on this ...
But since he is a celebrity, and he abused that status, and caused the police to do this, along with everything else ... again, popcorn.
Jussie Smollett fails to persuade judge to drop Chicago lawsuit seeking $130,000 fine

If Smollett wasn't a celebrity, I'd think it is questionable for the state to prosecute a person like this, as a Libertarian -- even a liar that should reap what they sow.https://www.usatoday.com/story/ente...tor-still-facing-130-k-civil-suit/4000512002/

It's true. He is clearly the victim here. Thoughts to Jussie in these hard times.
(CNN)A Cook County, Illinois, grand jury has returned a six-count indictment against actor Jussie Smollett for making false reports to police that he was a victim of a hate crime, a special prosecutor said Tuesday.
Smollett, who is gay and black, said he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Chicago apartment on January 29, 2019.
Chicago police investigated the case as a hate crime but later said the actor orchestrated the incident and paid two men who were acquaintances from the TV show on which he starred -- brothers Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo -- to stage the incident for publicity. The former "Empire" actor has repeatedly denied making up or orchestrating the attack.
Dan K. Webb, the special prosecutor assigned in August to investigate how local prosecutors handled the TV actor's case, said in a statement his office "has now completed all of its investigative steps regarding Jussie Smollett, and has made the decision to further prosecute Mr. Smollett."

Jeopardy attaches when a jury is impaneled (sworn in to try a case) or there is a plea agreement and sentencing. Until that happens, a prosecutor can file charges, drop those charges and refile the same or different charges (with certain exceptions).
But in this case, the defense should argue double jeopardy because in exchange for the charges to be dropped he forfeited his original bond. While none of that occurred pursuant to a formal plea agreement and sentencing by a judge, he should argue what occurred was a constructive plea deal and he can't be charged for the same conduct a second time.
Long live Shook Chicken's awesomely horrible and hilarious takes in this thread.
Agreed. I think these rope and bleach carrying maga wearing guys are still at large. Probably ready to strike in the next -20 degree weather day.
Der Shookboi was too busy with the smirking boy and the drum beating to get into this one.
even a broken clock is right twice a day.
That's unfair to compare him to a broken clock. Unfair to the clock.
Case update: judge denies Smollett's double jeopardy claim.

From the linked article:
The way Judge James Linn saw it, the only way double jeopardy would apply is if Smollett was legally punished for what had happened to him since he was charged in connection with the January 2019 incident in downtown Chicago. But Linn determined that the deal in which the state’s attorney’s office agreed to drop charges without requiring Smollett to admit any wrongdoing and Smollett agreed to forfeit his $10,000 bond did not add up to legal punishment.
“There was no trial in this case, there was no jury empaneled, no witnesses were sworn, no evidence was heard, no guilty pleas were ever entered ... nothing like that every happened,” Linn said of the 2019 case. “There was no adjudication of this case.”
I bring this up because we previously discussed the merits of a double jeopardy claim.
Ironically, if the DA wanted to help him out, she should have allowed him to enter a no contest plea to a single misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct for making a false report and giving him a minimal fine. That would have constituted an adjudication. Instead, she dropped the charges altogether allowing the charges to be refiled by the special prosecutor. Now he is facing felony charges and could go to prison.
I'm sure he'll appeal this judge's decision.
