  10.  @jjones797  This was NOT a victimless crime! Smollett has made ALL black people victims of his outrageous, self promoting lies, and continues to bring disgrace on them by STILL playing the 'racial victim' card, 3 years after he was exposed for faking a hate crime. And unlike him, most people of colour are not protected by massive wealth and VIP status! Jussie Smollet tied a NOOSE around his own neck, and claimed white supremacists did it to him during a racist beating, knowing he would incite horrific memories of the historic, racial lynchings of Black people in the US. With that image of the noose alone, Smollett cynically lit a powerful fuse and inflamed public hurt and anger over racism - and why? All for his own career advancement! He arranged that ugly and elaborate publicity stunt to promote himself as a heroic 'victim' of racism. Incredibly, the very averagely talented Smollett (who most people had never heard of prior to this scandal), was paid a staggering $2 million a year in a little-known TV series. But rather than be thankful for his privileged position, pathological narcissist Smollett felt he deserved to be a black superstar like Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson. Did he work harder to achieve their hard-won Global fame, or attend acting classes to improve his performances (as we've seen with all his terrible, hammy-as-hell, fake-ass speeches since he was caught red-handed, he is a decidedly poor actor!) No - Smollett got scheming, and decided he could take a short cut to superstardom by starring in his own, self-penned and directed, fictional hate crime. The NERVE of the guy, thinking he would get away with it, shows exactly how much bad behaviour he has previously got away with in his life! Smollett has set the cause of black people back by decades - and continues to sully their reputation with his immoral denials, protests and constant exploitation of his race. That guy never suffered a moment of racism in his privileged life! Born to a wealthy, well connected family (white father), he learned early his skin colour would let him play the underdog when it suited him. And boy has he exploited that over the years! Instead of owning his crime and taking his punishment like a man, Smollett continued to fight for his own privileged position. Oh this guy does not see himself as any kind of underdog - he believes he's way superior to everyone else! It wasn't even much of a punishment - a mere 150 days, ie less than 5 months in custody - and not even in a real prison. Plus all prisoners were to be removed from the communal areas whenever he wanted to use them for exercise breaks, making phone calls, etc, so he was not being treated like any average black OR white prisoner but was getting the VIP service even in custody! Except he's even wriggled out of that! I am raging about this crime because I am a decent person who believes the law should be applied evenly to all human beings, regardless of their wealth, privilege, status in society, sex, race or religion. Jussie Smollett has cynically wielded his fame, wealth and power to escape justice right down the line - and while he exploited his privilege, he claimed victim-status because he is mixed race. The hypocrisy and entitlement are off the scale - no wonder so many people of ALL colours are rightly angry about this abuse of power, abuse of the system and above all, abuse of his own ethnicity! This is NOT a victimless crime - sadly, black people far less powerful that Jussie Smollett will pay a heavy price for his disgusting, egotistical and illegal conduct. Ultimately he will get justice though, thanks to the most important and influential court of all - the court of public opinion. For a celebrity, that's the one that REALLY counts. Smollett is finished as an actor and as any kind of credible public figure. And the judge was 100% right - he can blame his miserable future life of disgrace and ignominy on whoever he wants - fact is, he did it to himself.

  11. Agreed, it's a disgrace how this privileged actor spent 3 years fighting justice for his heinous crime, cynically exploiting his mixed race with a faked hate crime just to increase his own already huge privilege! And now his expensive lawyers bring further shame on all black people, by laughably claiming their VIP client has been the 'victim' of racial discrimination, and that he was already punished at the time with a paltry $10 k fine and some BS 'community service'. That was no punishment at all but another fraud, every bit as fake as Jussie's staged hate crime itself, designed to make it appear justice had been served, when it hadn't at all. 'Double jeopardy' my ass! Smollett's first supposed 'punishment' was a total fraud, pulled off by his friends in high places. That $10k fine was peanuts to him - he was paid $2 million a year), and you can be sure the 'community service' was nothing that would inconvenience him! Anyone who reads the full legal timeline to this case can clearly see Jussie Smollett has used his powerful contacts to get him off the hook - and that his defence lawyers are playing the race card to get him off now just as cynically as he used it himself with his disgusting publicity stunt! Thankfully the public, police and prosecutors were outraged at Smollett's ability to escape justice with his corrupt connections. As the judge explained in his sentencing speech, some fantastic prosecutors worked hard to ensure he didn't get away with his outrageous fraud because of who he is, but was held accountable at jury trial. And that trial was the first and only real punishment he had faced - as proven by his hissy fits and temper tantrums after he failed to convince the jury of his lies (he's obviously a lousy actor), and didn't escape a custodial sentence from the judge (though 6 days later, he'd given that the slip - refusing to man up and put up with a less than 5 months in comfortable custody - and with good behaviour he'd have been out in just 75 days). It is a travesty of justice, but whatever happens legally, Smollett now has zero credibility. He only succeeded in pulling a public relations disaster. He's finished as an actor and a public figure. And as the judge rightly said, he did it all to himself!

  13. I agree he's 100% guilty but in truth he's fooled absolutely no one. He managed to dodge justice for three years all thanks to his VIP celebrity status and powerful friends in high places. This man has only ever experienced positive discrimination from his mixed race background! For him to constantly play the race card and pretend the law was prejudiced against him for being black, is as outrageous a lie as his faked hate crime and the noose he put around his own neck! But he deserves no Oscar - he's a lousy actor who didn't fool police, and didn't fool prosecutors, the judge or that jury! The fool was so deluded about his own talent, he really believed he could take the stand and persuade jurors of his innocence - his arrogance is off the chart! But worst of all for Jussie Smollett - he didn't fool the public. It's the court of public opinion that really counts for celebrities - and he blew it. He's a joke, finished as any kind of public figure. He's toxic as all hell, no charity or good cause will let him within a mile of them. And as is now abundantly clear, he really isn't talented enough to resurrect any kind of big acting career. It's frankly astonishing he ever landed a $2 million a year TV contract, on such limited acting ability. Which again indicates he's used to pulling strings and getting unfair advantages from powerful contacts. He's no Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson - that he believed he was as talented as those black superstars and deserved their level of fame, so faked an horrific racial assault as a short-cut to it, shows exactly how deluded he is!

  14. Exactly, hypocritical as hell! It's sickening to see Jussie Smollett and his lawyers, all powerful, privileged people of colour, cynically playing the race card to get him off consequences for the crime he was just convicted of, hoaxing a racial hate crime. That he and his legal team are repeating exactly the same thing he was just convicted of - playing the race card for personal advantage - is beyond ironic and massive hypocrisy! And it does ordinary black people, unprotected by the immense VIP privileges that they enjoy, nothing but harm. Smollett and his lawyers are a disgrace to their race! Jussie Smollett had a fair jury trial, he gave evidence in his own defence - still lying his head off throughout and refusing to own his disgusting crime, perjuring himself for hours as the judge pointed out. He was obviously as unconvincing on the stand as he has been right down the line (which shows exactly how bad an actor he is!) Smollett is a narcissist of the most extreme variety, a pathologically self-serving liar, who has unshakeable belief in his ability to manipulate and fool others. Intelligent media players who followed his self-inflicted problems over the last 3 years, will avoid him from now on. He has hobbled his own career, because anyone with sound judgement won't work with him in future. An individual as entitled and deluded as Jussie Smollett is very dangerous indeed. Smollett is so crazily egotistical and conceited, he was utterly convinced he'd get away with his ridiculously badly staged, fake 'hate crime'. Even after being caught red handed by the excellent work of Chicago Police, 3 years later he thought he could just continue to lie and he'd eventually fool enough people on the jury to get away with it! All the way down the line he tried - and failed - to wriggle out of consequences. Early on, he believed he'd succeeded, when his friends in high places got him a slap on the wrist, a $10k fine (peanuts to him, paid $2 million a year), and some BS 'community service' of his choosing. Thankfully he did not get away with that - it was such an obvious farce, it was challenged by brilliant prosecutors, and the result - though it took 3 years - was this full jury trial. Double jeopardy my ass! That first supposed 'punishment' was as fake as the hate crime itself. The only REAL punishment, as we've seen from Smollett's repeated temper tantrums and protests, was the jury trial. If that lying scumbag doesn't serve any jail time for the serious crime he was properly convicted of (which cynically damaged racial relations just for his own career advancement), the US justice system will be a global laughing stock. Jussie Smollett has got away with nothing. He wanted more fame - and he got it, but the totally wrong kind! He has no credibility left as a public figure, and was never a talented enough actor to salvage any really successful career from this car wreck. In the court that really counts - the court of public opinion - Jessie Smollett is finished.

  17. HOW THE HELL DID HE GET AWAY WITH THAT??? I HATE THAT ENTITLED, NARCISSISTIC CREEP! I HOPE THIS BEHAVIOUR BACKFIRES ON HIM BIG TIME! HE SHOULD HAVE GONE TO JAIL AND TAKEN HIS PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN! HE WILL REGRETS THIS - ALL OF IT - HE'S A CONVICTED CRIMINAL, AND HIS TV AND MOVIE CAREER AS ANY KIND OF CELEBRITY IS OVER. NO ONE WANTS TO SEE THAT SMUG, LYING FRAUDSTER'S UGLY, GRIFTER FACE EVER AGAIN! A TOTAL CREEP AND CON MAN, ALL ABOUT 'ME, ME, ME'. HIS FAMILY AND EVERYONE WHO SUPPORTED THE ENTITLED ARROGANT POS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES! JESSIE SMOLLETT HAS SET THE CAUSE OF BLACK PEOPLE BACK BY DECADES, HE IS A TRAITOR TO HIS ETHNIC HERITAGE. LESS THAN 100 YEARS AGO, BLACK PEOPLE REALLY WERE BRUTALLY LYNCHED AND HANGED AND BURNED IN THE STREET IN RACIST ATTACKS. AND HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO PAY 2 BLACK MEN TO COVER THEIR FACES WITH SKI MASKS AND THROW BLEACH AND A NOOSE AROUND HIS NECK??? WHAT AN INSULT TO THOSE FALLEN VICTIMS OF RACISM! SHAME ON HIM - HE NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR AND NEVER INSULT AUDIENCES AGAIN WITH HIS ODIOUS FACE! NEVER SHOWED ANY REMORSE, NEVER APOLOGISED, NEVER EVEN ADMITTED TO WHAT HE'D DONE IN THE FACE OF OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE. JUDGE SAID HE GOT ON THE STAND AND COMMITTED PERJURY - THEN HE DID IT AGAIN AFTER SENTENCING, LYING AGAIN, THAT HE WAS INNOCENT! HE SHOULDA GOT MORE JAIL TIME FOR THAT. NOW HIS OVERPAID LAWYERS HAVE SPRUNG HIM OUT ON A TECHNICALITY? US JUSTICE IS AN INTERNATIONAL LAUGHING STOCK! ONE LAW FOR RICH AMERICANS AND ANOTHER FOR THE REST - AND ANY OTHER, NON RICH & PRIVILEGED BLACK MAN WHO'D PULLED THE STUNT SMOLLETT DID WOULD NOT HAVE GOT AWAY WITH IT FOR A NANOSECOND! DISGUSTING INJUSTICE - DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A MAN! JESSIE SMOLLETT NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR DOWN THE NEAREST TOILET ALONG WITH HIS CAREER AND STOP OFFENDING THE PUBLIC'S EYES AND EARS.

  20.  @wesleyfulton2186  Nope, Jussie Smollett was NOT punished before - it was a whitewash, a BS, pseudo 'punishment' because he's a wealthy celebrity. It was the second, failed con he tried to pull on the system/public, this time by pulling strings with his influential friends - a minor $10k fine (peanuts to him - he is paid $2 million a year), and some cushy 'community service' of his choosing. Thankfully Smollett failed in that con too. His powerful friends weren't quite powerful enough to save him from the appropriate legal sanctions he fully deserved, because it was recognised by the system and the public as the outrageous fraud it was, and he was ultimately made to face proper legal consequences for his appalling hoax. A cynically premeditated, fake hate crime that got him global headlines he thought would boost his box office and status, as a famous victim of 'racism'. What a joke - unlike non-privileged black folk, he has experienced only preferential treatment and privilege his entire life! Smollett faked that assault on himself knowing it could have triggered violence (and possibly even large-scale organised race riots), all to selfishly raise his own profile and bring him the bigger success he narcissistically believed he deserved (I'm not sure why - to date his lousy, hammy performances in his own defence show he's no Denzel Washington!) When his con was exposed, Jussie Smollett set the cause of black people back decades - black people who unlike him, live real lives in the real world, and aren't cushioned by VIP status and wealth. I doubt Smollett has ever experienced a single, negative thing from being mixed race - on the contrary, he has milked his ethnicity for all it's worth and benefited from it at every possible opportunity - playing the race card is a lifelong habit with him. If he was any kind of MAN he'd have confessed to what he did way back when he was first blabbed on by the two Nigerian guys he hired to don ski masks and pretend to be white supremacists - who somehow recognised him on the streets at 2am, while carrying bleach and a noose to attack him with! (Sorry Jussie - even before this circus, you were not that famous!) Smollette should be thoroughly ashamed of his betrayal of his black ancestors. He cynically exploited the real, historic racist lynchings of black people with that fake-ass noose he put round his own neck. A powerfully symbolic visual image he knew would bring massive outrage, anger and hurt to decent people of ALL colours. Clearly any high-profile, virtue-signalling charity/social justice appearances he made in the past were not selfless at all, but like this crime were entirely driven by self-promotion! Smollett's appalling conduct right down the line since his ugly fraud was exposed 3 years ago, show he's a pathological narcissist without shame or remorse. That he has continually denied his crimes in the face of overwhelming evidence of his guilt, and point blank refused to be accountable for them, shows how dangerously out of control his ego is. If you are a person of colour as your profile photo suggests, Jussie Smollett's crimes should anger you as much, if not more, than the average, decent non-black person on the street. Smollett betrayed you. Why aren't you angry? Do you think he should get a free pass and continue to dodge justice for his heinous acts against black people, because he is black?! That makes no sense. As a successful, privileged and high-profile person of colour, Smollett had a responsibility to be a great role model for black people! As we know, racism is still a huge issue in the US - his actions have unleashed ill-will and resentment against ordinary black people and they will suffer in multiple subtle, and not so subtle ways thanks to Jussie Smollett. He is a total disgrace!
