Jussie Smollett Updates Part Five - (I Know What You Did This Winter!)
by Anonymous | reply 602 | February 17, 2019 8:05 PM |
Chicago (CNN)Two law enforcement sources with knowledge of the investigation told CNN that Chicago Police believe Jussie Smollett paid two men to orchestrate the assault.
The brothers, who were arrested Wednesday, were released without charges Friday after Chicago police cited the discovery of "new evidence."
The sources told CNN that the two men are now cooperating fully with law enforcement.
Smollett told authorities he was attacked early January 29 by two men who were "yelling out racial and homophobic slurs." He said one attacker put a rope around his neck and poured an unknown chemical substance on him.
The sources told CNN that there are records that show the two brothers purchased the rope found around Smollett's neck at an Ace Hardware store in Chicago.
Smollett gave his first detailed account of what he says was a hate crime against him, and the aftermath, in an interview with "Good Morning America" that aired Thursday. During the interview he expressed frustration at not being believed.
"It feels like if I had said it was a Muslim or a Mexican or someone black I feel like the doubters would have supported me a lot much more," Smollett said. "And that says a lot about the place where we are as a country right now."
CNN's attempts to reach both Smollett's representative and attorney Saturday were unsuccessful.

Racism and homophobia exist but they don’t exist in the way these “attacks” that make national news claim. In fact making national news should probably be the first clue that it will prove to be a hoax. The level of horror that gets them on the news is the level that rarely exists in real life.
The real life racism is seen in prison sentencing, it’s in the “he looks scary,” it’s in the not letting their kids play with your kids. The homophobia shows up when management suddenly decides “we’re not going to have spouses/partners at the holiday dinner anymore.”
It’s real and it exists but it isn’t scrawling the N word on the neighbors garage, etc. The news needs to step back and think before publishing because running these over the top, soap style stories does give the impression that bigotry doesn’t exist anymore and it’s always a lie.

Okay, racists and homophobes don't hang out on the streets of Chicago on a night when the temperature is well below zero and almost nobody is out and about, on the off chance that they might run into a gay black man to attack. And they don't carry ropes and bottles of bleach around with them everywhere they go, just in case the opportunity to commit a hate crime presents itself. This much is true. But it is not true that nobody in real life ever gets gay bashed or beaten up for being the "wrong' color or even has epithets written on their house or car or business. These things do actually happen for real sometimes.

[quote]JUSSIE SMOLLETT COULD GET 3 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FILING A FALSE REPORT TO POLICE
[quote]Filing a false report to police in the State of Illinois is considered an act of disorderly conduct, which is a Class 4 felony.
[quote]That means that anyone found guilty could face between one and three years in prison.
[quote]By law, the crime of disorderly conduct is committed in Illinois by anyone who 'transmits or causes to be transmitted in any manner to any peace officer, public officer or public employee a report to the effect that an offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed, knowing at the time of the transmission that there is no reasonable ground for believing that the offense will be committed, is being committed, or has been committed.'
[quote]Last week, a central Illinois man was sentenced to three years in state prison after he pleaded guilty to fabricating an Amber alert.
[quote]On December 15, Mitchell Dutz, 18, told police that three black men stole his car with a 13-month-old infant inside.
[quote]Dutz used a social media photo of a child he did not know to claim that there was a kidnapping, according to Peoria Journal Star.
[quote]But police rescinded the Amber alert after it became clear that it was a hoax.
[quote]Dutz pleaded guilty to motor-vehicle burglary and disorderly conduct.
[quote]Last month, a Chicago woman was charged with a felony after she allegedly made a 911 call that turned out to be a 'swatting' incident.
[quote]Keesha S. Ingram, 41, allegedly called police before dawn on December 11 to report that a man was threatening to shoot his wife in their home in Warren Township.
[quote]Sheriff's deputies responded to the call. They arrived at the scene and set up a perimeter around the house.
[quote]After making contact with the residents inside, the deputies determined there was no incident to warrant an arrest, according to the Daily Herald.
[quote]Authorities then determined that they were dealing with a 'swatting' incident whereby a person falsely reports an ongoing crime at a particular address in order to harass the individual who lives there.
[quote]An investigation led back to Ingram, who is alleged to have known one of the people who lived in the Warren Township home.
[quote]Investigators believe Ingram made the swatting call out of revenge against the victim, whom she accused of not paying her money that was owed to her.
[quote]Ingram is still on the loose and is wanted for arrest, according to Patch.

If I were the judge, and Jessie was found guilty of orchestrating this, here is what would happen:
1. No prison time for Jussie. I assume he had no prior offenses. I see nothing to be gained from putting him in jail.
2. Many, many hours of public service. Not bullshit public service either. I assume Jussie has three or four months off from filming Empire now that it's the end of the season. I would make sure that for those three or four months, Jussie was putting in 8 hours per day, 6 days per week of hard community service. And I would make it the most difficult. Tending to crack babies, working in the burn unit at the city hospital, working with Alzheimer patients, picking up trash on the side of the road. I would make sure he came into contact sometimes with Trump supporters so he could maybe understand that many of them were genuinely scared of their future, and wrongheadedly though Trump was the solution*. I would make it as hard of community service as possible, but make sure there was also the possibility of him learning something from it.
3. Restitution. I'd want him to have to pay back a percentage of the money wasted by the Chicago PD and the FBI because of his foolish endeavor. Any maybe make him pay $10,000 to a charity that helps ACTUAL victims of hate crimes, and provides hate crime education.
*Just FYI I hate Trump with the burning passion of 1,000 suns, but I myself work toward understanding the mind of the people who voted for him. I struggle with it, but I think we all should try to understand each other. I don't know, this is a hard one for me.

R129, common sense suggests he had something to do with it. The language used was similar to what he said his attackers shouted. Plus, how very odd -- someone who can't even write two consecutive L's without writing one of them backwards is still able to correctly spell the name "Smollett," which most people talking about this online seem to struggle with.

There's really nothing that wrong with most of those tweets. People read/hear that a gay, black minor celebrity—who has no previous history of lying/batshit behavior—was attacked by Trumptards yelling racial and homophobic slurs. That sounds plausible enough if you don't stop to examine the details of the story. So, they believe him and they express support and outrage, as any decent person would in response to a legit attack of that nature. Their only mistake is believing that a hoax attack was legit.
If they were a point the finger at specific individuals who'd been falsely accused, then maybe i could work up some outrage at how they hadn't looked closely enough at the cockamamie story before piling on the poor, innocent accused people. But that is not what happened.

The collapse of his mainstream music and acting careers are the very least of his worries right now. He’s not some hardened street rapper whose career will get a boost from being inside.

Their anti-lynching legislation was in the works long before the Smollet hoax came along; it's not like they wrote it in response to this fake crime. And despite the illogical beliefs of some DLers, one asshole's hoax does not render all hate crimes fraudulent. Basically, their involvement with Smollet is about the same as a zillion other people's, including Trump: they generously gave an alleged victim the benefit of the doubt at first, and kindly tweeted their support.

Jussie is a different story though. He at least had the fake attack planned out for weeks, but the plan still didn't pan out and it was discovered as a hoax. The shit he did is going to hurt actual victims of hate crimes in the future because some people aren't going to believe them which could easily hurt police investigations.

I'm sure he has a mental illness or disorder. I think everyone who commits this kind of crime (Susan Smith, Scott Peterson, and so on) is a head case; a rational mind would reject these impulses. And I think Jussie's is the kind of disorder that will compel him to argue that he was justified by some greater social good in doing this. Still, this isn't the kind of mental illness that doesn't appreciate the seriousness of the action--he knew what he was doing and there have to be consequences.

This isn't about Trump or his supporters. This is about a hate crime hoax. When a woman falsely accuses a man of rape, a common reaction is that the lying woman ought to be sentenced to the same amount of prison time a real rapist would have gotten.
Jussie Smollett should have to serve the same amount of prison time a real perpetrator of the crime he described would have to serve. What he did was both a hoax and a real hate crime against those he framed and blamed.

Oh, for crying out loud. Has Corey Feldman infiltrated this thread? R518 makes a reasonable point, and instantly r525 raises the specter of Hollywood Confidential--kiddly diddle edition.
Smollett is suffering from some form of mental disorder. The proof is in the pudding: normal, reasonably squared-away people do not do things like this. Something has to be off in your hard wiring to make this not only seem like a rational response but then to act on it. This is textbook disordered thinking.
You don't have to sympathize, and it doesn't excuse the results of his actions. But to say "he's evil"--full stop--is pretty dim.

R525 Even without sex abuse, it’s harmful to put kids to work as kids and babies (yes - even a Smollett baby worked on their TV series - the whole brood did), blurring the lines of reality at such a young age.

He is clearly fucked up, but I don't see this as a "typical child actor meltdown". First of all, he's 36 freaking years old and he's just now melting down? Second of all, there was a high degree of planning involved here - poorly executed, but planned, nevertheless.
