Both happened in Chicago:

➖ Mentally disabled teen tied up, kicked and beaten, while 4 attackers scream “**** Donald Trump” and “**** white people” on Facebook livestream

➖ Celebrity fakes being beaten by 2 “Trump supporters”

Guess which one the media gave more coverage to?

In order to defend someone, a lawyer needs to control what's being said, so if they're ignoring his need to be the spokesperson, or to approve what is being said by his camp, it would make sense that he would dump him as a client.

And one of our resident posters insisted this was not a hate crime, it was a crime against a mentally challenged person.

She spent 10 months in prison hammering out a plea deal, pled guilty, and got four years of probation. Brittany Convington, for those who want to look this up.

He's absolutely implying it, the audience understands what he's implying, the YouTuber understands what he's saying, so do not come back here with, "But he never said 'white people'" because that IS what he's saying. The words that he says before, during, and after make it very clear that's what he's saying.

Same person just messaged me and called me a liar. I'm not going to be doing their homework for them, but it's very well known that Louis Farrakhan is very radical and prejudice against anyone who doesn't look or think like he does.

Well! Kamala's campaign might have just ended due to Jussie. It will be easy to connect her anti-lynching bill with Jussie.

EVERYONE in Hollywood and Gov are going to stay FAR AWAY from Jussie. I hope his immediate family will be there for him.

I think Kamala is a lock to win Democratic nomination. Most liberals are not going to run away from Jussie.

That was one of the first holes, in a long line of holes in his hoax, that people picked up on. Not only would racists not be watching Empire, but they certainly not have any clue who a 2nd-rate, gay black actor is.

Oh, and by the way, they somehow had a clear view of him at 2am in -20 below weather. And they also knew the exact time he'd be around, so they made sure to have some bleach and rope with them at 2am during the polar vortex....

It was clear to most how his story failed from the start.

It is certainly interesting and worth looking at. It would likely end her career on many levels, although it's hard to think there would be direct evidence. If she was really dumb enough to directly go along with this dumb of a hoax, then she certainly doesn't deserve the chance to be in any political position.

Agree. But I think she already doesn't deserve to be in a political position after witnessing the embarrassment she was at the Kavanaugh hearings.
