TotallyOz Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Yes, it does. But, I still want to see more of the story. I don't think we have gotten the full story yet. Unless he is just unstable. Quote

TotallyOz Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 What do you make of the news that all charges have been dropped? Quote
Members Lucky Posted March 26, 2019 Members Posted March 26, 2019 I think it's pretty darn crazy. Don't the police work with the prosecutors? Why would 16 charges get filed by the police only to be dropped by the prosecutors? And if he is innocent, why make him forfeit his $10,000 bail? Quote

However, something smelled fishy with me all along. Quote
caeron Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I think at the end of the day the false report is a small criminal case that isn't worth all the drama for the prosecutor's office. They take the bond to 'pay' for their wasted time, and move on. I think this is basically them saying they have a case, but the case isn't worth pursuing. MsGuy and AdamSmith 2 Quote
Members kjun12 Posted March 27, 2019 Author Members Posted March 27, 2019 Caeron, I think you have it. Your belief is the probable reason for what has happened. Quote
AdamSmith Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 This whole () thing still stinks. I don’t believe Jussie yet. I still think he is going retrograde. Yet my little pink-white ass has been, a little more than once, on the front edge of Bloomberg’s ‘profiling’ of us out making noise at night up in the Heights etc. And that my little white face being a Credible Witness is what made police back off & shut up. So let’s see. Quote
Members DustinDawns Posted March 27, 2019 Members Posted March 27, 2019 @AdamSmith, I appreciate you checking how the interaction may be different between folks of skin tones. This whole thing is way too weird. I don’t entirely believe Jussie, but I don’t entirely believe the police (particularly CPD, which has fabricated evidence in the past). I also just don’t believe the brothers. Who easily could have both accepted money from Smollett for his workouts, and beat him up because they had a dispute and used racism as their cover, and then threw Jussie under the bus. It’s all so weird. AdamSmith 1 Quote

Well. Jussie’s more-than-obvious BS confirms he IS the hot mess that caused this all. What a stupid, egomaniacal idiot. Quote

Charles Barkley ( of all people!) said pretty much the same thing on Colbert's talk show a couple of days ago. He went on to say his gay friends have enough trouble with the police w/o a clown like this little shit poisoning the well. “I think that we all lose. I think my black friends, my gay black friends, I think they lose, because there’s all repercussions when you’re a minority. there’s always a double standard. You have to understand that and accept that. For every black, gay person out there, we lost. And it’s unfortunate. I don’t know that kid, I wish him nothing but the best.“But you have to understand, you have to always look at the big picture. Like, you know, there’s a lot of gay kids out there who are struggling. They’re getting beat up, they’re getting bullied, and things like that. And that’s not good. And then you see there’s this tenuous relationship between the black community and the cops, and we made the cops look really bad in this scenario. And there’s probably going to be some resentment. So the bottom line is everybody lost in this scenario. It’s not good.” AdamSmith 1 Quote
Members blueskies Posted March 28, 2019 Members Posted March 28, 2019 I thought the whole thing was weird from the start (some of the details just didn't add up) but now add all the charges being dropped? Quote
