I don't care of they make an example of him...
..only that he's treated like any other person that did this
He committed two crimes....one local...one federal involving the post office and FBI
...if they convict him on both

If he's not....that will really tell it all

I bet you the guy will probably be carried away peacefully by claiming he's mentally insane instead of being prosecuted.
Never underestimate a narcissist's need for attention...

Had his hoax succeeded, he would have been received as the equivalent of a Nobel Prize or Medal of Honor winner in the Resistance™/SJW world.

Smollett was even ready and willing to press charges against '2 unknown suspects'... until he learned they were his co-conspirators.

To paraphrase a line from a great movie:

"In any crime, there are 50 ways you can screw up. And if you can think of half of them, then you are a genius"

And Jussie ain't no genius.

For example, celebs that cheat on their taxes.
NOPE!


He is the poster child for their meme and will be protected, just like all the corrupt racist politicians in Virginia!

People have said it here - nothing ever happens to them.

Honest to God, these celebrities live in such a ginormous bubble of group-think - I'm positive Jussie never thought in a bajillion years that 1., people wouldn't believe him and that 2., people would find out that he was the mastermind (said tongue in cheek because my grandma could've schemed & planned this out better than he did).


When your celebrity friends and main stream media are all in for taking Trump & Trump voters down, well .... I'm sure the outcome we are seeing here isn't one Jussie ever thought possible.

He's obviously an idiot. You don't need to be smart to be an actor, just empathetic, and this proves it.

It's his tightly wound facade.

The thing is that the Wolf hasn't shown up in a long long LONG time. The fact of the matter is being black and gay, or white and gay is widely accepted by all. Long dead are the generations of the past that oppressed these people and their lifestyle. There is more anti-Semitism in this country and world that goes unchecked than there are people who are prejudice to blacks and gays. The question begs to be asked, WHY is that??
