Do you think the average American is happy that all charges were dropped against Jussie Smollett ?

[CaseHardened]

Curious

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

This to me shows that the justice system isn't about right or wrong, or facing consequences for your actions. It proves to me that morals mean nothing and money and public opinion trump all. Call me naive but it makes you wonder how long it'll be before there is no right and wrong anymore. That's a sad day.

I work with two of THE MOST liberal nuts on the planet and they were infuriated. I was dumbfounded that they would feel that way, so i would say most white folks are pretty pissed.

 

[CaseHardened]

The white, Obama-loving Mayor of Chicago - Rahm Emanuel - seemed legitimately pissed.

If this can be tied to Michelle Obama - conclusively - it will prove a Godsend.

 

[Deplorable Me]

I think it falls along political lines, color blind.

 

[BDinPutnam]

I don't know what an "average American" is, I don't sort my fellow citizens by race or ethnicity. and that's what I like about America. That's kind of one of the things I really like about this place. There is no "average" American, and it sure as shit doesn't fall on racial lines even if there was one.

Dog whistling past a graveyard here much, chief?

Wasn't he one of the obama pledges????

 

[Toecutter]

Most Americans will forget about this by the end of the week.

 

[STS556]

With the same reasoning this case was dropped, if any NY citizen gets caught with a full featured "assault rifle', all we have to do is forfeit bail and donate it to the state of NY and all charges will be dropped? Because that how Smollets case got dismissed.

This is just another example that the justice system is dead in America.

The America I loved is near flatline

But.... Did he get his raise?

That's what this was all about, right? Not to advance the Crafty Beaver's lynching bill. Or to portray Trump supporters as racist.

It would be funny if they cut him loose in the most bizarre, inflammatory way they could come up with to distract from the reason he arranged his phony attack.

I think most Americans are waiting to be told how to feel.

Perhaps, more likely he knew what was up and this grand standing is just self-serving pap.

Politicians, what would we do without them? Shmoylett gets to walk away from punishment. They get to grandstand to score points with the outraged public. Core base gets taken care of.

 

[MothMan]

Sorta see this as political ploy. Local charges have been dropped but information has been passed on to FBI. Now if the feds go after Smollett for mail fraud or hate crime or any other crime it will be used by the left to label Trump a racist and homophobic... for targeting a misunderstood black queer.

 

[MothMan]

Or Jussie could be obummers love child.

 

[Darth]

Other. "Who gives a flying fuck?"

 

[CaseHardened]

Or Jussie could be obummers love child.

If Barry liked WOMEN.

State's Attorney Kim Foxx 'behind decision to drop charges'

Shes a big fan I guess.

 

[CaseHardened]

All it would take to place these worthless leftists in PRISON would be a bit of COURAGE

and PRESIDENT TRUMP has it !!!!

 

[tirwin1]

I keep reading and hearing that America is a racist, sexist and homophobic country. Yet if a gay black man can falsely report a hate crime and get away with it I believe that description can't possibly be true. As the comedian Yakov Smirnoff used to say ' "America - what a country!"

 

[camper4lyfe]

I'm running an unscientific poll on my facebook to get some feelings on it. I'm friends with a wide range of people, so it should be interesting.

It's not over yet:

 

[Phauxtoe]

i think there is a game of Hot Potato going on!

Let see who is holding the hot potato at the end of the week!
(michelle obama? kamala Harris? who?)

Our government is not designed to solicit input of random individuals and enable that input to influence policy.

Just cuz its on the teewee doesnt mean we have to fall for it.

In a newly released statement, Jussie Smollett‘s lawyers said the actor is owed an apology from Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson after Cook County prosecutors dropped the charges against him.

“It is the Mayor and the Police Chief who owe Jussie — owe him an apology — for dragging an innocent man’s character through the mud. Jussie has paid enough,” Smollett’s lawyers said, according to CBS Chicago reporter Charlie De Mar.
