Crime Jussie Smollett v2, the saga continues...

[S Class]

At this point does anyone need to qualify the rest of their post by opening with "What he did was wrong"?

Ya think?

Just had to throw that reminder out there. Can't overestimate some people's IQ levels.

Chicago PD Superintendent : There's 'A lot more evidence' Smollet faked attack

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime...ck-obtained-by-abc-news/ar-BBU3fa9?ocid=ientp

"Let me tell, you, Robin, there’s a lot more evidence that hasn’t been presented yet, and does not support the version he gave," the police chief told "GMA" anchor Robin Roberts. "There’s still a lot of physical evidence, video evidence and testimony that just simply does not support his version of what happened."

Good to hear there's more. A hardline defense that the check and any phone calls were strictly about the personal training and the brothers jumped Jussie of their own free will and flipped on him to save their own skin could be enough to give reasonable doubt to a jury.

I just don't understand why the hell this guy is going on GMA. Will he be sitting down with the ladies on The View next? He's acting like he has a new album coming out or some shit. If they have a case against Smollett they need to work on that and when the time is right, present it to a jury. We don't need a publicity tour over this shit on the Chicago taxpayer's dime.

Oh this is rich...

Lol. "the memo line didn't say 'for fake hate crime' therefore that wasn't what it was for

I have my doubts that CNN will invite John McWhorter back after this interview.

I was thinking this too.

Everything he said was damn near inarguable, and totally opposite of CNN's preferred narrative.

"He was just trying to bring attention to a problem..."

OMG, fuck off. He was trying to get paid. Period.

Lol no shit. Wtf do you think this thread is about?!

What about the first thread? I have no problem ridiculing this moron but you guys are on this 24/7, and no, the MSM (gasp!) is not as fixated on this as you guys. Gays blacks and liberals, your three least favorite things. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

The obsession you knuckle-draggers have over this dope is unreal. Continue your victory lap, I know you guys don’t get many substantive wins.

Yeah, this shit is stupid. This bozo has harmed actual victims immensely. Not sure how you can defend him.

Literally the only thing I've said in any of these threads was responding to you saying this is a non story

I was about to say:
"I could pay Johnny 2 by 4 to go break some guy's kneecaps for unpaid debts but I get off scott-free if in the memo line I say it was for a lasagna recipe?"

 

[unimackpass]

John McWhorter is saying we are doing better than a lot of people give credit for on race issues. He is not saying racism does not exist. He is saying there is there is some social prestige in being a noble victim and that is what may have lead Jussie to try to stage his incident.



Article McWhorter wrote on the topic

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/a...t-story-shows-rise-victimhood-culture/583099/

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.

This is a fantastic interview. Nothing groundbreaking but the fact that Lemmon didn't disrupt the well thought out dialog is amazing. Hopefully his audience will actually ponder what is being said here. I'm going to forward this to some friends that have sold their soul to hands up don't shoot.
He's right, they believe the narrative inspite of facts and wish it were true, leftist in wonderland.

As I have said since this started, this kind of logic appeals to the people who argued and believed it wasn't Mike Brown in that store robbery video. You can't reason with such people.

No doubt Jussie is going to say the money paid by check was for personal training etc... but the police aren't stupid. They go through every single angle, defense etc.... and find evidence to counter it. The police/DA definitely have more evidence.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

This dude is f#cking hilarious. I can't believe anyone is turning it into political BS when it's all about an absolute crazy stupid person looking for attention. There is no better example of the crazy that is "crazy LA actor" than this. He tried to use victimhood and it backfired cuz he's a legit stupid person. It's hilarious.

These are the people Rogan is surrounded by. Is it any wonder he has changed his views recently and is throwing his friends under the bus, having on deranged lunatics like Bari Weiss of the NYT?

It might just be me, but that article paints an unsettling picture of black Americans and their willingness to support even the shittiest people, based solely on skin colour.

I had a similar take. I liked the headline but the article itself was pretty demented. Some examples...

“...the black community and its allies cannot continue "to carry brothers who act in ways that call into question the existence of real violence and bias. We are literally being killed," she says, "and there is no room to carry parasites."

Suspending for a moment my skepticism at the statement that blacks are collectively “literally being killed”, why should Blacks even need that as an impetus to stop carrying their “parasites”? Is that really even a problem? According to this author anyway it sems so...

“Doubling-down on blackness
There's an inside joke in the black community that we'll forgive anything as long as an embattled black public figure follows a well-worn script. I've seen it in action.”

The college kids are the absolute worse. They are right out of being straight brain washed by NPC garbage for two decades and still have not learned how to think for themselves. They openly admit it is much more dangerous to wear a red hat on campus than be a trans person, but they still do not get the problem. And when pushed on their Trump hypocrisy, the fact he is saving brown people by pulling out of Syria, was pro gay rights before Clinton, their brain shuts down and all they can offer up is "Are you kidding me?!!! He is racist, bigot, homophobe, misogynist and warmongering ableist! Orange man bad!".

I think you were a bit too eager to use the that term thinking it would make you sound smart, when it actually has no relevance here.

You sound mad. Not sure why.

It's exactly relevant.
You have a perception in place, and surprise, you find evidence that confirm those beliefs.
I.e. it's counting the times the sources you looked at confirmed you were right and forgetting or ignoring the times sources did or could prove you wrong.
I think you were a bit too eager to be a dick thinking it would make you sound smart.

This story has gotten many more times the coverage of both the MAGA bomber and the Coast Guard official who plotted a terror attack.

But it's just CNN, Huff Post and MSNBC who are the hysterics...

Hardly. That Latino MAGA bomber was 24/7 news, not message board discussions. And it was a hoax. He never actually meant to hurt anyone. His "pipe bombs" were phony. CNN had a huge overreaction to make it into a bigger story. People are sent white powder all the time and it barely makes the news.

And as for this Coast Guard loon, he's getting all kinds of coverage and he's not a celebrity who is doing ABC and GMA interviews.
