Jussie Smollett Sentenced to 150 Days in Cook County Jail, Screams "I am not suicidal! I am innocent!"

[MarcATL]

Trump Supporters, do I really have to spell it out for you. he said the guys were wearing MAGA hats.

They were an easy scapegoat.

So does using them make it worse? If so, how?

 

[BackAgain]

Ok, what's the principle behind your stance?

How come none of you rightwing conservative Republican-voters of USMB can't answer that simple question?

I already did. But more importantly, it isn’t a “simple” question. It is more simplistic. Flip it around.

On what “principle” should Jussie have been granted a non-incarceratory sentence?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

For doing what exactly?

For falsely reporting a crime and for committing a hate crime

This Conservative's Principle ...

If I were the District Attorney, I may not have charged him with every crime he committed ...
But I would have charged him with enough crimes that if he was found Guilty, the combined fines applicable would cover the cost
the District suffered pursuing his wild goose chase.

The principle for that is easy, almost no LEVEL 4 felonies result in incarceration, particularly for non-violent crimes.

Notwithstanding the legion of recommendations and character letters from upstanding members of the community.

He didn't steal anything, he didn't hurt anyone, he didn't sexually assault anyone.

BTW, were you aware that this judge is known for giving light sentences to sexual criminals?

He came down harder on Juicy than he does on the sex criminals that come before him.

This was not justice dude. No matter how mad what you think Juicy did made you feel.

 

[Meathead]

Only one of those matters in court. And false reporting to the police. So that's what his sentence reflects.

At least he'll get more butt sex than he could ever want in there.

 

[MarcATL]

For falsely reporting a crime and for committing a hate crime

Thank you.

So we need to go after all false reports wherever we find them vociferously, right?

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Thank you.

So we need to go after all false reports wherever we find them vociferously, right?

Yes, we do need to go after false reports of a crime to police They endanger the public at large.

 

[pknopp]

Thank you.

So we need to go after all false reports wherever we find them vociferously, right?

Yes. They undermine our ability to trust the system. How many times have I condemned the cops for their false reports?

If something is wrong, it's wrong no matter who does it.

 

[MarcATL]

Do you have any numbers to back that up?

pknopp, it's a legit question. Without numbers, your claim is literally just conjecture.

 

[MarcATL]

Yes, we do need to go after false reports of a crime to police They endanger the public at large.

Good. So what needs to be done to police who are caught lying on their police reports?

Remember, they're supposed to be the standard of law in our community.

I look forward to your response.

 

[pknopp]

pknopp, it's a legit question. Without numbers, your claim is literally just conjecture.

It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 10,000. It's wrong.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

I look forward to your response.

Absolutely. Why not? If a cop did this, you would be outraged that he received a sentence of 5 months.

Look at the Russia collusion hoax. That's what happens when LEOs lie on sworn statements. I'm sure you want those crooks hung out to dry. Yes?

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This was too harsh.

I hope the voters of Chicago are paying attention.

Your attempt at humor is noted.

I know what Jussie did. And I’m not a resident of Chicago or the State of Illinois. But it does not follow that, merely because many relatively low level felonies end up with no incarceration, no low-level felony convictions should yield an incarceratory sentence. And just because you happen to “feel” that “nobody” got hurt, doesn’t mean that you’re right. If you mean “no physical injury,” that appears to be true.

However, in many other ways, he DID hurt people, including the taxpayers of that city; plus he harmed race-relations via a fraud. He cost the city money for unnecessary police investigation — thereby taking those cops away from investigation real crimes. And, akin to pulling a false alarm or falsely reporting a bomb threat, such behavior also risks that other more dangerous crimes will get slower police response time — endangering the lives of others.

I thought Jussie might get no incarceration, at all. But I don’t see him having to serve 75 days as any kind of injustice.

Mr. Smollett's motive in making this false report was Hatred, that makes it worse than most such cases

 

[USAF 2023]

This was too harsh.

I hope the voters of Chicago are paying attention.

What was too Harsh; The Sentence? He not only made it a Racial Issue but a Homophobic issue and a Political Issue. What would be appropriate?
Better yet; What if it were a Caucasian lying about a Racial Homophobic Crime done by Black Pro Harris Voters??

 

[marvin martian]

I wonder how those that have had to endure hate crimes feel about this POS making
up a fake crime for personal gain feels about Jussie? How many man hours did the city
spend to get the actual truth and justice from this fake crime cost?
I'm surprised that you are so calloused as not even think of how true Black victims
felt over this. shameful, marc

Like most other leftists, MarcATL will happily throw anyone under the bus (especially black people) in service to "the Cause".

 

[MarcATL]

Mr. Smollett's motive in making this false report was Hatred, that makes it worse than most such cases

How do you know it was hatred? How can you possibly know what's in his heart?

 

[MarcATL]

It doesn't matter if it's 1 or 10,000. It's wrong.

But it matters if it's zero, which it quite likely is.
