You've certainly pushed the envelope to an unprecedented degree. What next?


It's such incidents that the right tries to ignore when denying that hate crimes exist.

He should have just claimed they smiled at him. We've seen how much outrage that causes.

Jussie Smollett in custody...

Quote:
Chicago police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that Smollett is in custody after surrendering to authorities after 5:00 a.m. Police said they would conduct a news conference at 9:00 a.m. Smollett is expected to appear in bond court at 1:30 p.m. Thursday ... As for the two brothers who allegedly helped Smollett stage the attack, because they cooperated with authorities and testified before a grand jury, they are not expected to face any charges.
So ... the next time a black person or a gay person claims to be a victim of a "Hate Crime", we can hope to for more intensive scrutiny of the facts.

Jussie Smollett Rehearsed His Own Assault, Prosecutors Say

CHICAGO — Jussie Smollett, upset by his salary and seeking publicity, staged a fake assault a week after writing himself a threatening letter, the Chicago police said Thursday after the “Empire” actor surrendered to face a felony charge of filing a false police report.

The Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie T. Johnson, visibly angry at a morning news conference, said Mr. Smollett had taken advantage of the pain and anger of racism, draining resources that could have been used to investigate other crimes for which people were actually suffering.

“I just wish that the families of gun violence in this city got this much attention,” he said, referring to the news media....

The police say Mr. Smollett hired two brothers to carry out the assault and paid them $3,500. They have a copy of the check used to pay them, the police said. Also recovered, they said, were phone records that showed Mr. Smollett speaking to the brothers an hour before the incident took place, and then an hour after.

In a document prepared for the bail hearing, prosecutors said they had video of the brothers at the scene, text messages they shared with Mr. Smollett and their testimony as to how Mr. Smollett had recruited them for the plan. He even had them visit the scene of what investigators contend was the fake attack, a spot near his home, on an earlier night to prepare, prosecutors said.

Jussie Smollett's alleged hoax got more media attention than my son, who was shot and killed in Chicago

My son was shot and killed in Chicago – where is his national media attention?

My name is Carmia Tang. My only child, Jeremy Alexander Tang, was murdered in Chicago on Sept. 3, 2017.

Jeremy’s murder case is among over 700 unsolved murders in Chicago.

I am disgusted by the national media attention that the Jussie Smollett case has received. Meanwhile – right now – we have hundreds of mothers left with unanswered questions and unsolved cases.

Parents and families of gun violence victims matter too. Can we please get the same efforts and national media attention that Smollett got with his alleged attack?

If Jussie Smollett lied, he has wasted tons of taxpayer dollars and extremely valuable police time – and should be prosecuted to the fullest. Police resources were used for an awful hoax instead of an unsolved case like Jeremy's.

Jeremy was murdered just two weeks before his 21st birthday. He meant the world to me. He played football and water polo. He loved to dance. He was my heart and soul.

There are hundreds of mothers in Chicago in the same exact situation. I personally know some of them. Where is the national media attention and outrage for the 700 plus unsolved murders in Chicago?


https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/jussie- ... in-chicago

Sorry, lady. Most of those murders in Chicago are just black people killing black people, and we know the Leftist Media couldn't care less about that, because they can't use it to Get Trump. Now, a white teenager who smirks at somebody on a field trip, that's national news — your black son getting shot in Democrat-run Chicago, not so much.
