Smollet hate crime

[Clang McFly]

Might as well put a ribeye on there too.

Or filet mignon. Went to a beefsteak Saranac beer dinner tonight. Had French onion soup, twice baked potato, bearnaise and hollandaise sauce, arugula pear salad, a molten lava cake and lots of good Saranac beers.

[Duchess]

Now I'm thinking about Saranac Lake.

[Clang McFly]

Now I'm thinking about Saranac Lake.

Just like Saranac's Ubu Ale always makes me think of those '80's sitcoms where after the credits they said "Sit,Ubu,Sit."

The Jussie Smolett case is what happens when the demand for racism exceeds the supply.

[Duchess]

He did such a disservice to gays & blacks. Both groups deal with enough bullshit that no one needs to fabricate any for fucks sake.

[Rootilda]

Oh, we have an endless supply of racism in the world. No need to worry, Maggot.

[Fry Guy]

I hope he does. There are a couple of reasons he did this.
The attention and popularity it would bring him would give him enough influence to both increase his salary, and elevate him to a media darling who's Progressive views are sought out.

....and His friend Kamala Harris and Corey Booker wanted to pass anti-lyncging laws

That sounds so fucking tasty.

It was. Best molten lava cake I ever had.

[Rootilda]

So of course this had to happen.  

[Fry Guy]

How fucking stupid are you Rootilda? No, honest question.

James Woods does not think Kamala Harris or Maya Harris is Jussie's Aunt.

Kevin McCullouch and James Woods are not talking about the same thing. Why are you conflating them.

James Woods is simply asking whether or not the Jussie Smollet "attack" (involving a "lynching") which was just before his friend (Kamala Harris) tabled and passed anti-lynching bill in Congress may have been related. He has not SAID it is but he is asking the question.

This Kevin McCullouch makes a claim about familial associations between Jussie Smollett and Kamala Harris

They are NOT the same claim. In fact they are not even both claims.

So well done, retard.

[Duchess]

So of course this had to happen.  

The next couple of years will be all about that kind of bullshit and given the intellectual capacity of so many of those morons it will be believed.  

[Rootilda]

Some of them right here at Mock.

[Fry Guy]

Some of them right here at Mock.

You and your herpes lip are prime examples.

[Maggot]

[Duchess]

Look! trump's right hand man & personal fixer in Mock! What a time to be alive.

[Maggot]

And here I was thinking he is the lefts hero and flavor of the week because he was badmouthing Trump. Oh well.

This is such a weird case.

Smollett never struck me as credible in his demeanor or his claims and I think he did a real disservice to true victims of hate crimes. 

But, I don't care that the District Attorney dropped the false complaint charges after two days of community service and forfeiture of his $10,000 bail IF that would be similar to the penalty given to any other suspect for the same crime.  I don't think celebrities should be given any harsher or lesser penalties than anyone else.

I do, however, believe that his celebrity status and the resulting publicity likely forced Chicago PD to dedicate more time and resources than they would have had the self-proclaimed victim not been in the public eye.  

So, if Smollett was in fact lying, I hope the City of Chicago wins the civil case it just filed against him.

Snip:
 The city of Chicago previously gave Smollett seven days to repay $130,106.15 bill stemming from the 1,836 overtime hours the police spent investigating the January 29^th attack.  At the time, the city of Chicago claims in its civil complaint, Smollett misled investigators by saying his attackers were white and staging the incident as a hate crime.


When Smollett, as expected, declined to reimburse the police department, the city filed the civil complaint, with the city also asking for a jury trial to determine Smollett’s damages. Under a current city code, Smollett could face more than $390,000 in damages as well as a $1,000 penalty for every false claim he told police.  https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/cul...tt-821432/
