LOL he brought together the whole Empire cast yesterday to announce...he's innocent.
This is hilarious. You know what? He should get the maximum prison sentence if he won't even grow a sac and admit what he did. The fact he hasn't tried to reach some kind of deal should mean he never gets one. I don't wanna see a week from today this dude crying and confessing and getting a plea deal. He had his chance, he shouldn't get any deals now.
This city deserves more than just this douche doing some probation.

I hope he keeps saying he's innocent all the way to jail, then he will say "the popo framed me, Im innocent in jail." Then Bubba in prison will say "sure you are, ill see you tonight"
Oh the excuses are already coming in from this piece of shit lol. He (or his lawyers) have blamed the Chicago Police for "trampling" on his presumption of innocence(why he thinks cops need to presume innocence is strange, they aren't a judge or jury) and also blaming the mayoral election here.
I'm not kidding, this happened.
Did you see this video of him leaving the court room? When he was having his interview were he lied for 18 minutes straight, he said "yea he punched me and I punched him back" trying to act like a tough guy, again a lie, then this video has him looking like a pussy.
His castmates are demanding he be fired, arguments erupted. At least some people have morals. Apparently, this pile of crap doesn't.

One thing I just can't ignore anymore:Why wasn't he kicked off the show?
I mean, Rosanne says one stupid thing, fired. Allegations happen, people get fired. Smollett pulls all this shit, and goes back to work?
The left thinks this actually happened, the ones that don't think it happened, think it could of happened, and the ones that don't think it could of happened, excuse him for it based on him being an outspoken black gay man against Trump.

He never said those statements so your hypothetical falls flat. 🙂
"But that’s just it—Smollett, if the latest reporting is true, was an eager puppy, jumping with joyous inattention into American social politics as he has encountered it coming of age in the 21st century. He would have known that in this moment, very important people would find him more interesting for having been hurt on the basis of his identity than for his fine performance on an interesting hit television show"
Begining of 5th to last paragraph
"Assuming, again, that the reports are accurate, Smollett’s clumsiness would be an especially poignant indication of how deeply this victimhood chic has taken hold—almost as if he thought this was such an easy score that he didn’t even need to think too hard about the logistics."

Would his crime qualify for a hate crime? I know nobody was specifically targeted but a lot of bad things could have happened as a result of this, this is how city-wide riots start. I hope they throw the book at him TBH. Let him serve as an example, doubt it would happen though.
It should count as an anti-Trump if not anti-white hate crime. There is clear malicious intent to sabotage the reputation of a political and ethnic group. I think that the greatest irony of all this is that most Jim Crow era lynchings, including the murder of Emmitt Till, were done because of false accusations like the one Jussie tried to make.

Because Daniels probably orchestrated this whole thing to bring attention to his shitty show. The excuse that Smaggot was just "trying to get a pay raise" sounds way too flimsy for such a grandoise hoax.
I was running an errand earlier and had the radio on listening to Mancow and he had Marlon Wayans on and they were clowning Jussie lol. Marlon said he didn't believe the story from the beginning cuz he kept the noose on, saying nooses were like kryptonite for black people.
Marlon also made fun of how Jussie used the term "tussle" to describe it and said no man would do that. And also imitating Jussie when he talked about how he supposedly punched the guy.
