Court Orders Hate Hoaxer Jussie Smollett Released From Jail Pending Appeal (lawyers, Obama)

This was not a mistake. Smollett intended for this to be a national news story which would vilify a specific group of people. Almost every top figure in America from the president on down came out to condemn this faked attack on Smollett. And after millions of dollars have been spent on the investigation and trial, all he gets is a 5 month sentence? Ridiculous. And to top it off, he has the nerve to pull the race card just like you did in your post here. Sorry, he lost his right to pull that card when he lied to the entire country and threw yet another wrench into race relations in America. This has nothing to do with the man being black/gay. It has everything to do with punishing those who willingly commit unlawful acts for their own selfish gain. Your above statement is just as false as Smollett's claim that racists attacked him in the street.

Exactly.

When you are friends with the Vice President. Juicy is the face of privilege.

Let's see what Black activist judge let him out. Maybe he'll get mugged again in the early morning on his way from Subway. \This is Kim Foxxes' justice system.

sorry pal, the guy should be locked up for at least 2 decades

If Karma is a real thing, it needs to happen to this loser.

He is a PATHETIC little person who deserves to be behind bars for no less than 5 years.

I don't say that because of what he did initially. I say that because he tried to keep the lie going.

JUST PATHETIC, as well as anyone who supports him and believes he should walk free.

Black Privilege. Y'all didn't think he'd actually serve out a meaningful sentence for this, did you?
