Jussie Smollett’s conviction tossed by Illinois Supreme Court on technicality

[JoeB131]

Publicity for his acting gig is not the same as a prank. I doubt they spent "millions," but I do agree with you to an extent. The homo clown should, instead, be incessantly mocked. All hoaxters should be mocked. But the marxist media just plays up these fake events.

The American public can be quite forgiving. Combine that with the entertainment world's promotion of perversion, and you will see the homo clown back in business very soon.

Actually, the total spent by the Special Prosecutor's office was five million.

He had two weeks of people taking his prank seriously, until they didn't, and then he lost everything. That should have been enough.

And now with his case thrown out look to him to be rehabilitated like it never happened.

 

[JoeB131]

Losing their businesses is excessive, but since you despise religious people, you cheer on government overreach like this.

Except they didn't lose their business because the government shut them down. They lost their business because their customers stopped patronizing them when it became public they were nasty homophobes.

They got Yelp-bombed out of existence.

Honestly, I doubt it.

Which studio would take a chance on him?

No, they lost their business because they got the living shit fined out of them, with threats for more.

Then why have the laws applied to them in the first place?

And it figures you are a fan of the mob.

Most yelp bombs aren't from customers, they are from assholes hundreds of miles away, and Yelp since then has taken steps to stop it.

He's gay, black, and a "victim" of the justice system now.

Just wait.

 

[JoeB131]

He defrauded the city and wasted police and prosecutorial resources and taxpayer money.

Um, okay. So what?

Frankly, the Chicago Police Department only cleared 18% of homicide cases. They routinely abuse citizens of color. I just can't get worked up that the CPD was harmed here.

Heck, maybe now that they conducted an investigation, they can get on clearing those 78% of homicides in their 'I don't give a shit" pile because they were poor and black.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Who cares it’s not going to change anything in the court of public opinion.

Exactly…. Convicted as a race-baiting fraud in the court of public opinion.

Nope, they were closed before the fines were imposed because they doxxed the people complaining about them. (Or specifically, Mr. Klien did. Poor Mrs. Klein just looks like a scared rabbit with her no-account husband basking in the limelight of hate.)

Because we have laws for a reason.

As for Yelp bombing, I'm perfectly good with it. The point was, their customers dried up when their very progressive community found out how they abused these poor gay women.


Let's review, because you have a faulty memory.

Mrs. Klein met the two women at a conference and invited them to use their shop if they ever had a commitment ceremony (gay marriage wasn't legal in OR at that time.)

Then one of the ladies and her mother went to the store for a tasting. When Mr. Klein found out they were a gay couple, he started screaming Bible Verses at these poor women.

The ladies made a complaint to the Human Rights department, and they found, yup, he violated the law. His "mature" response was to post the women's names and address on social media for all his "Christian" buddies to start harassing them.

By that time, their customers had dried up completely.

Except no one believes that.

We all know he did it, but he got off on a technicality, There's really no sympathy from him. If anything, most of the people who stuck up for him the first time have egg on their face and probably want nothing to do with him now.

You are good with people 1000 miles away lying to ruin someone's livelihood?

And again with your pathetic "spin" on that one situation.

I am going to tag this response for a year from now and see what's what.

People 1000 miles away couldn't ruin their livelihoods if they wanted to. As you say, Yelp edits out those reviews.

It was local people posting bad reviews and more importantly, not coming to their shop anymore that put them out of business.

The Conduct of Mr. Klein (who wasn't even the store owner, he was a cucked employee of his wife.) was the problem here, not the law. Any SENSIBLE person would have said, "wow, I'm sorry, my employee was out of line, how can we make this right." Not these idiots, they kept doubling down and tripling down on the stupid.

They do now, they didn't do so then.

Like you have evidence of that. and I doubt most of them were customers.

More useless spin from the biggest bigot on the board.

You do that buddy.

You can check his IMDB Page. He has one credit since he was fired from Empire, a Gay Art film that went direct to streaming. Oh, wait, he also directed it.

it got a 2.1 on IMDB out of 10, and didn't even register on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

[JoeB131]

They do now, they didn't do so then.

Like you have evidence of that. and I doubt most of them were customers.

Oh, quit whining that you didn't get your pound of flesh.

LOL, that's all you want in general from people who don't think "JUSSSTTT LIIIKKKEEE MMEEEEEEEEEE"

You are more a millennial than an ageing boomer.

Naw, man, I just love watching intolerant Christians get their undies in a bunch.

We have public accommodation laws for a reason. If we start saying, "I can disobey any law I want because my imaginary friend in the sky said so", that would be chaos and you know it.

Being intolerant of their supposed intolerance. And cheering on government to do your dirty work. Pathetic.

We have the 1st amendment for a reason, and PA laws can't override that. You don't lose free exercise automatically just because you want to sell something.

No, it's called drawing lines, which is what laws are supposed to do, aided by the courts.

he was almost 16. and still murdered.

When I search, I get 17.
