Breaking: Grand jury hands down a devastating decision on Jussie Smollett 'attack'
https://www.theblaze.com/news/breaking- ... n=theblaze

.. Smollett had been charged with one felony count of disorderly conduct in February after Chicago police said they had evidence that he had filed a false police report.

The grand jury indicted him with 16 counts of disorderly conduct.

He faces probation and up to four years in jail - for each count. ..

This seems fast.
i suppose sentencing will follow, then appeals? ..

Maybe this is just the beginning of the courtroom part.

Thankfully, i have little idea how courts work.
i have learned to leave plenty of room for pleas, appeals, etc.

often, reality turns out much differently than reports indicate.
from this, it appears, there will be consequences.

well, i’m glad i did not jump to conclusions.
as of yesterday, at least, here in Illinois, media is “a-flutter” over this case.
in this same month, Jussie has been released, his case dropped by the DA. wow.

“Chicago PD Superintendent Eddie Johnson, Rahm Emanuel call Jussie Smollett charges being dropped 'whitewash of justice' “
https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-poli ... ped-report

This was one of the early reports. There are many. Today, reports are the FBI “has the case.”
It was reported with a lot of shock+awe yesterday. Time will tell.

It has all the appearance of someone really big intervening. I doubt this will end well.

the only way for sin to end well is with confession, repentance, submission, obedience. right?
i see no sign of any of that in this case. not the first step in that direction.

reports are, his hollywood buddies are thrilled and welcoming, media, likewise.
his past pictures with the obamas, kamala harris, lead speculation about “phone calls” to the “right people” in Chicago. the obamas love hollywood. for the most part, that love is reciprocated.

i sort-of expect this to quickly die down and fade away. (fade from public view.)
Jussie may receive big money through some gov victim benefit account, he claims he was the victim. with the right legal words, victims profit! his career may not be damaged.

my surprise is that Chicago’s mayor and police superintendent have been as vocal as they have.
this is so unusual, some suspect it’s part of the act. i do not know. i can’t dismiss it.

i know lawyers learn courtroom theatrics, for sure; i believe Jussie is taking notes. $$$

i know hollywood is corrupt.
but, honestly. this is “extra.” he gets to return to work?! “no harm done??” really.

if the FBI is involved, maybe we’ll see. maybe not.

It continues. One of many updates.

Herman Cain / Illinois Bar groups criticize States Attorney Kim Foxx
https://www.westernjournal.com/hermanca ... henewvoice

.. I know President Trump intends to have the FBI look into this, and I’m all for it, but what I don’t know is whether Foxx actually violated any laws with her actions, or if she was just guilty of absolutely awful performance as a state’s attorney.

And while everything I’ve seen so far says there’s no recourse to reverse her actions, I wonder if Jussie Smollett realizes this doesn’t get him close to off the hook in the eyes of the public.
Now he’s not just a hate-crime hoaxer, but a hate-crime hoaxer who skated on a crooked deal because he’s famous – all while remaining completely unrepentant and insulting everyone’s intelligence by continuing to insist on his innocence.

If Foxx and Smollett thought they could pull this off and escape unscathed because surely the SJWs and the Resistance would cheer them on as tribal companions, I think they seriously miscalculated.

For Grace.

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment ... untry/amp/

According to a police statement, the actor was walking near the Chicago River downtown around 2 a.m. Tuesday when he was approached by two men who shouted at him, struck him in the face and poured an “unknown substance” on him before one of them wrapped a rope around his neck.

Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that when officers first came in contact with Smollett, he still had a rope around his neck. While being interviewed by detectives, Guglielmi said Smollett told them that the attackers yelled he was in “MAGA country,” an apparent reference to the Trump campaign’s “Make America Great Again” slogan that some critics of the president have decried as racist and discriminatory.

It’s not just liberals that associate MAGA with racism. Racists apparently also associate MAGA as confirmation of their racism.

i thought of this post/subtopic while listening to comedian, Dave Chappelle: (be advised, bad language.)

”Nicholas Sandmann offers advice to Kyle Rittenhouse in 'Hannity' exclusive”
Sandmann said it was [is] a 'personal call' whether Kyle Rittenhouse should sue the press and others for their comments about him
https://www.foxnews.com/media/nicholas- ... ittenhouse

.. Sandmann said that Rittenhouse's litigation decisions are ultimately up to him, but that he would sue the media outlets he believes defamed his character.

"It's really a personal call," he said, adding that 2022 will mark three years since his own experience with the press,
and six cases remain in progress.

"I know he has a lot on his plate, on whether he wants to entrench himself in this." ..

Szdfan:
.. We all saw the Nick Sandmann video
and it turns out there was more to the story than initially thought. Pictures can lie.

Pictures don’t lie. Interpretations can be ‘way wrong.
Nick Sandmann and Jussie Smollett are 2 very good examples of how people jump to conclusions. Even on this forum.
Nick was wrongly damned, Jussie was wrongly trusted.
Jussie didn’t have pics. still. the problem of jumping to (desired) conclusions.

i just posted a Dave Chappelle video response to J.S. DC uses rough language, evidently, it sells.
in a comedic way, he attempts to channel common sense in a world in need of it.

MAGA hats in Chicago. no kidding. that was the initial giveaway this was a rookie hoax.

2023 / NICK SANDMANN is appearing in reports again. He’s 20 now, not 16.

This is lengthy, but i think important. NS isn’t the only one speaking.

Forbes / “JUST IN: DeSantis Hosts Roundtable On Media Defamation Featuring Covington Grad Nicholas Sandmann” / 1hr 6min

Description:

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) hosts a roundtable decrying defamation from the legacy media.

^^If anyone needs explanation of how pictures+videos can easily be distorted beyond recognition, this gets into it.
It includes some insights on how+why legacy media, msm, have lost their way, esp post-tech, with 24-7 coverage.

As media consumers: Buyer beware.

So much of what appears is from young people, ignorant, without life experience, on their first jobs, doing what they’re paid to do, in volume and at speed. Quantity and SPEED, not quality.

The DOE, teachers unions, provide new employees. System failures. This all needs a complete overhaul.
