SOUNDS SERIOUS....................

Smollett price to pay for beauty.

Feds still waiting.....................
I hope he gets consecutive max terms. The rancor between Blacks and Whites is bad enough without this fake hate crime crap.
Aw, man.... he din’t know what he did wuz wrong. This is just pure raycism i don’t care whut yew say.
Maybe not.
I saw a lot of blacks early on they didn’t believe his crap either.................
There’s no such thing as hate crime.
“He won’t spend a day in jail for these charges.“

Sung to the tune of “16 Candles”;
“Sixteen Felonies...”

You should have just *asked* for a raise, dumbass.
