“I believe his motive was = Trump and Trump supporters are racist. He didn’t think he’d be caught because he’s “protected”.”

That’s quite possible, I figured he was faking it so I tuned out pretty quick. IIRC he was getting $65k an episode for that show; maybe he thought he was being slighted.

Maybe his lawyer will try the Ilhan Omar defense. “Your Honor, my client is too stupid to know this was a bad thing to do.”

Actually his attorneys are going after the investigators and cops...that's what attorneys do when they have no defense for their client.

There’s no such thing as hate crime....

True. A crime is a crime. Hate doesn’t enter into it.

"Sure, I killed him...but I didn't hate him."

Interesting~
Living in Chicagoland, I have heard a lot of reporting on Smollett, but had not heard this! Probs should not be too surprised...

That’s what you get for making shows in a flyover backwater like Chicago, instead of sticking with the Left Coast where it’s safe. Imagine. The fake MAGA thugs actually talked. You won’t find help like THAT in Hollywood./s

Its 16 counts of the same thing. The sentences will run concurrently, im guessing probation or less than a year.

Wow! A very fast Grand Jury for Chicago.

Now, they need to use spread sheets to figure down to the penny how much police time and resources were wasted on his attempted race baiting shakedown.

Then sue and collect the money from him.

Sounds to me this makes him an ideal candidate for a congressional position out of Cook County for the 2020 elections.

His parents are democratic socialists

An Uber liberal Russian Jew

And a black nationalist mommy

Think of a homo Tupac with Abbie Hoffman as daddy minus Abbie’s sense of humor and self deprecation

This slime ball piece of dog s*&t can rot in hell. He is worse than stinking dog s**t!!! The crap he whines about made him a millionaire. Now he whines that no one will sign him because he took a knee. No ass hole, they wouldn’t sign you because your success when to your empty head and you became what you were, a worthless lame assed ex-QB who couldn’t hit the ocean if you fell off a ship, much less hit an open receiver. You had a couple of good years and you thought you were hall of fame material in that empty head on the top of your ass hole. What a worthless piece of crap. My brothers and sisters in the military spilt their blood for worthless pieces of s**t like this ass hole. Makes me sick to my stomach. He couldn’t carry their canteen cup, and he whines. I wish one of them would run over his ass with an M-1 Abrams. Check with me later and I will tell you how I REALLY feel about this ass hole!!! Forgive me LORD for my outburst. But, some people really make you lose your mind. I lost what little I have when it comes to this guy!
