We have two tiers of justice, one for the entitled class and one for everyone else. They don’t even try to hide it.
(Chicago, AP) — Jussie Smollett was released from jail Wednesday following six nights behind bars after an appeals court agreed with his lawyers that he should be free pending the appeal of his conviction for lying to police about a racist and homophobic attack.
The former “Empire” actor walked out of the Cook County Jail surrounded by security. He did not comment as he got into an awaiting SUV, but his attorneys said Smollett, who is Black and gay, was the target of a racist justice system and people playing politics.
The appeals court ruling came after a Cook County judge sentenced Smollett last week to immediately begin serving 150 days in jail for his conviction on five felony counts of disorderly conduct for lying to police. (read more)
Anyone who is surprised or shocked by this hasn’t been paying attention.
The Jan. 6 defendent lawyers should demand the Smollet rule be applied to their clients too. This new case law precedent must be followed!
Trying to start a race war doesn’t carry the same weight as being “framed” as domestic protesters, I mean terrorists.
Black Privilege.
If Obama had a son, he would be a lot like Jussie. So inspirational!
“They don’t even try to hide it.”
The ethos of reflexive aghastment employed by the Inert Right, followed the next day by, yup, more indignities followed by more aghastment gives them no reason to hide it.
If your opponent’s best counterpunch consists of frenetic blogofication and twitterization and oh-so-salient (albeit oh-so-rhetorical) point-scoring, would you expend the energy to conceal your punches?
I don’t level this frustration at thought-leaders like SD whose rare insights are frankly INVALUABLE to the cause. It’s the thousands of Brighteon jockeys repeating the obvious and cluttering the airwaves.
“Everyone has a plan before they get punched in the face.” ~ Mike Tyson
The J6 protesters who have been politically tortured and persecuted would be quite amused at your comment–if they weren’t still in jail being tortured and persecuted.
Ruling Class demons aren’t messing around. Anyone doing anything more than more than “cluttering the airwaves” will get the J6 treatment–tossed in jail (solitary confinement) with no bail allowed, beaten, tortured, forced to languish in Medieval conditions and charged as harshly (and illegally) as the government desires.
And for the really unlucky rebels, we’ll just be murdered in cold blood by government goons with badges and guns who will be given medals and promotions for their heroic homicide.
“Smollett, who is Black and gay, was the target of a racist justice system and people playing politics. ”
In reality, Smollett who is black and gay, is the *beneficiary* of a racist (anti-white) justice system and people playing politics.
If dude was white and straight and had fabricated same hoax ? Would’ve been sentenced for far longer and be behind bars for sure.
They forgot liberal and communist.
0bama phoned in a favor. You can bet the farm that the appeal judge will throw the case out as “he has suffered enough already”.
Valerie Jarrett phoned Kim Foxx to drop the case,.. wonder how far up the chain the call to the judge went? Mooch or the Indonesian? Jussie like all other liberals scream injustice and racism, when in fact the playsheet they work from is all about injustice and racism. Disgusting but Chicago is a cesspool of crime and corruption. I know I lived there 26 years of my life.
at least you got out alive.
A lot of america’s cities are getting just as bad.
If there is a silver lining to this is that ordinary people understand exactly what happened even if the press and the ‘Community Activists’ don’t. It is becoming harder and harder to pull this type of **** to the point where false accusations are now counterproductive to their cause. We have developed a herd immunity.
The J6 prisoners are apparently not privileged enough
They alone, are reason enough to tear every one of the traitors limb from limb in the streets on world wide tv.
Smollett is out on his own recog-niz-equity. Equity DEMANDS this descendant of 400 years of African-American enslavement be FREED! Free at Last! Lawd Almighty Jussie is Free at Last. Amen. /retch.
Setting a nice precedent for those felons that are black and gay, don’t you think…
What is the basis of his appeal? So far, all I’ve read is that he says he’s innocent.
Don’t they ALL say they’re innocent?
Warning strong language! This will set the record straight on what happened!!
…and replaced it with “equity”. Spit.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isa. 5:20.)
He is probably working on his next hoax as we speak.
.
His next hate crime might be REAL.
Duh! He’s Democrat people! What else did you expect?
Jussie is kin to Kamala.
Jussie should be careful! His attacked was also released from jail, too!
LOL…Welcome back Mike….you’ve been missed!
There is no ‘Equal Justice under Law’. We live under a
two-tiered Justice System. This is a very sad state of affairs.
Hillary Clinton and Democrat elites walk free no
matter the crime.
We must end this two-tiered Justice System.
Let me guess… he was butthurt he got actual jail time (not in general population & with personal guards 🙄), but…
“It’s not fair,” he cried & stomped his feet, “You better fix this, or I start naming names on who knew exactly what I was up to, & encouraged it!”
Some phone calls were made, & voilà… Juicy Dindunuffin be free!
Appeal > Double-Jeopardy is the claim. Seriously?!
Lawfare crew be slacking in excuses- they must be racizzzzzzt.
Any decent appeals judge should laugh him out of court.
But his special treatment does prove one thing… “This ain’t MAGA Country!”
Karma is a B…… Guys like this never end up well when all is said and done. Karma gets its evens.
This tells me the appeals court is going to overturn the verdict. Ugh.
If you’re a non-Caucasian, the law does not apply and one can get away with murder…ask BLM, ANTIFA, OJ
chauvin has an appeal in the works….so…..
the war on law-abiding white Christian middle class Americans continues….
Trial by Jury doesn’t mean anything if you have Political Connections!
