DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Racist MAGA hatted individuals attack "Empire" actor Jussie Smollet

I find it odd that they released the two brothers without charging them. Aren’t they just as guilty of staging this attack for money if their story is true? They didn’t turn themselves in and offer their side of the story until they were arrested at Ohare airport, probably trying to escape capture.

It doesn't concern me with what Jussie did, what concerns me is how the Left was already jumping on it, to use against fellow Americans in pushing their false agenda.

Lie upon Lie upon Lie.

White= Nazi
Trump Supporters= Racists
MAGA= Nazi slogan
Left= Victims

That's not a very big "if" at this point.

If he's found innocent, and the evidence seems contrary to that, then he deserves justice. But from appearance at this point, he's just an a-hole. Perhaps an a-hole that needs help. If he did set this up, why? Why the need for that type of attention? Why the need to further a divide which is harmful and unjust? I don't understand. Also, what a blow to his fans, family, and support staff if he did do this.

Probably cut a deal in exchange for testimony.

They absolutely rolled on him. $3,500 isn't worth going to prison.

All of it is a confirmed hoax, even the letter he sent to himself.

No doubt they nabbed them coming back in to ohare from Nigeria. Why would they come back if they were guilty of a hate crime? Still wondering why the fbi didn’t stop them from leaving the country in the first place.

But yeah JS is an a-hole.

anybody watched the press conference with the police chief?

Jussie smollet is an absolute scumbag, and i hope he loses his job on empire over this.

Yep. Jussie got sum splain’n

The old pendulum never stops dead middle. In my relatively short 64 years on this earth I've witnessed the extreme abuse and belittlement of the black population in America, only to see the pendulum swing to the extreme embrace of said population in affirmative action policies that no other people of color enjoy, and totally disadvantage Caucasians.

And I have seen the trend enough to know the pendulum will swing back. But that's the story of humanity.


Having said that, Jussie is a moron.

No one in this country is ever "found innocent". You are presumed innocent. This, of course, excludes conservatives in the eyes of the press.

Aside from testifying against Jessie's Mullett, there's not much illegal in their participation if all Mr. Mullett wanted to do was make a claim, get his fame, and move along. They probably didn't know that he would have taken it to the lengths he did and got the police involved as heavily as he did.

As for them being allowed on the plane, I think they left before the police were able to ID them.

Perhaps I should've phrased it "found to be", but that's picking at nits since most will know what I meant. Interesting that was your one takeaway. The bigger question is, is the man a narcissistic sociopath or a disturbed individual who is crying for help. If he started all of this as a negotiating ploy to increase his salary, I hope he does jail time. If he's sick, I hope he gets help.

I don't think he's either. 40 actually hit the nail on the head. This guy was simply trying to take advantage of a climate that starts off with the base premise that all Trump supporters are racists and homophobes, and that everyone has a right to be believed without evidence or verification.

We saw this to be true in the media and on the boards.

His biggest mistake was pushing the issue too far. Had Mr. Mullett simply made his story public, excused his refusal to cooperate with Chicago PD because they are a bunch of racist POS's that he doesn't feel comfortable will take him seriously (or let him walk out of a precint alive) he'd be hailed as a literal Martyr to this day.

smh.

most of us didn't believe the story from the jump. stop pushing fake news.

All Trump supporters hate black people (any POC really), gays, trans, are nazis and white supremacists is literally the Democratic platform right now. He was just echoing via hoax what he thought would gain him the most followers.

I wouldn't even call myself a "Trump Supporter" and just having an opposing opinion gets me lumped in. Honestly it's hard to blame the Dem lemmings. This is their leadership. When you're a hammer, everything is a nail.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

You called BpG Vambo for starting this thread.....

yes, because BpG has been posting nonsense lately just like vambo. i'm not sure how you correlate that to what i just said but...i'm not surprised you don't get it.

I'm denying the fact you thought the original story was deemed a fake from the beginning. That's all. No biggie.

i didnt say anything that remotely implied i believe or didn't believe. i simply waited.

keep reaching, please. this is getting good. keep going.

No, that's it really....nothing more to add. I just don't believe you.

Fin.

thats fine.

That's his biggest mistake? Heh-heh, good one.

Just ignore him.

awww, look at the mini vambo. encouraging others to stay in their safe spaces. so cute.

My first and last post on this ....

There are idiots and scammers and extremists on all sides. Smollet - who I never heard of before this news item started - doesn't represent the "Left" or Dems any more than Christopher Hasson represents the Right or the GOP.

Smollet deserves everything coming his way as does Christopher Hasson ...

Maybe the story behind the story is how people reacted to it? But it doesn't bother me that politicians or people in the public eye took Smollet's story at face value ... Smollet faking the attack for publicity is such a messed up, screwed up dumb and sick thing to do that why would anyone assume it was fake? The saddest thing is the impact this may have on other real victims of abuse in the future.

As for Christopher Hasson - the story behind the story would be whether or not the POTUS is actively encouraging and enabling the loonies by his continued divisive and corrosive words .... is it coincidence that we now have 2 loonies who are targeting and looking to 'take out' the left politicians and the media that keeps reporting on Trump (factually) and highlighting all the issues surrounding him. Or is this more likely a reaction to Trumps ramped up rhetoric.

Welcome aboard Trooper

OCD and CHS liked your statement.

Did you guys apologize to BpG for this yet?

Thought not.

apologize for what? telling the truth?

Victim status, it's the social media gold card these days. Don't leave home without it.

The Liberal Progressive Democrat Agenda is to drive a wedge between people while portraying themselves as victims.

It's all about new ways to Hate your neighbors.

It worked well for the Democrats for 100 years with Jim Crow laws and such, so they are trying it again.

Shame!

How dumb do you have to be to write a check as payment to the 2 brothers for this hoax?

This Jussie Smollet needs mental help.

Just saw this one.

j/c:

I think the Chicago PD did a level headed job of breaking this case without getting sucked into the Liberal/Progressive Lies or the Propaganda Media bias.

Kudos to Chicago PD.

Well it looks like you just bought a crap load with this breaking News.

I agree. While what he did was stupid, divisive, etc... the real lesson here that we may never really learn is how quickly we jump on those things we really want to be true because they support our personal view of things...

If something comes out that supports the left, they jump on it while the right says, "Let's wait for all of the facts."

and

If something comes out that supports the right, they jump on it while the left says, "Let's wait for all of the facts."

The only real difference is that the left, because of age and demographics, is far more active on all social media except FB so things that support the left spread faster and broader...

If something comes out that supports the Right, I have to wait till I tune into FOX to hear about it.

If something comes out that supports the Left, It is plastered all over Main Stream Media for 24 hours or better. Then it also seems they all had a meeting about it as they tend to use the exact same wording in their reporting.

Maybe its just me. Not.
