All charges dropped !!!

Smolette Epstein Kraft all should goto jail.
People like that should face more jail time by influencing politicians.

In fact, let's get those bribe to goto USC parents while at it.

Classic deflection/distraction move for the mindless masses of the country. Get them fighting against each other, deflect from the release of the corruption story. Probably see another false flag event soon...

This is what I was thinking. They had to deflect attention from the Mueller investigation coming up dry; had to have something to immediately pull people's attention away.

He committed a HATE crime. That is what he did. He sought to defame, punish, intimidate, insult, stir up hate against another person because of their supposed race. He should get the same sentence that someone who committed the fake crime he accused them of would have gotten.

I can't stand the special category of "hate" crime. It's crime. What he did was more than just false reporting, the nature of what he faked and how he did it was tantamount to inciing riot, especially after the riots in St. Louis and Baltimore. I suspect the main reason Michelle Obama's staffer contacted Ms. Foxx and she ended up dropping charges wasn't so much that they care for Smollett as the fact that the black community was starting to get a sense of how much they get played on the race card and consequently the Liberal Left needed Smollett's case off the TV news.

This award is 100% appropriate IMHO.

People are trolling themselves, I'm not even mad.

5x guilty
1x not guilty

Yeah, saw that. Probably get probation and time served. You know, anything else would be racist …

Good call.

I was trying to get an idea of a bigger picture, what the pendulum was, and where it was swinging.

He also committed hate crime at himself.




He should also pay restitution to Chicago and cook county.
