Let Jussie spend a few years in jail to think about his poor choices.

This is almost as weird as the racism in Virginia.

How much does it cost to file a fake police report?

What’s the penalty for making a false police report about a “hate crime”? I hope it is a substantial fine and some prison time.

Yeah, that’s cultural appropriation! Call my faculty advisor!

That’s probably not far from what his defense will be.

People sure know how to screw up their own lives...

Let me guess. Smollet will blame Trump.

Well seriously, dude, it's self evident Trump is to blame.

So I guess the brothers were needed to “stage” the “attack” while Jussie had his manager on the phone so that the manager could report hearing the struggle over the phone.... supposedly adding credibility to the incident.

These Hollyweird types may think that all of life is like their scripts.....

Sounds like Jussie was using his manager (who may or may not have been in on it) to have a seemingly independent “witness” to the attack, even if only by phone.... since it would have been much more difficult to stage it for a genuine eyewitness.

Trashing Trump supporters is the most moral thing they know.

“...And that folks is why he’s hired a big-gun defense lawyer...;”

Didn’t know the race baiter layered up.
Send this prick to jail. And a massive fine too.

What comes next? Somehow he must be made back into the victim.

Maybe "I had to do something! They were going to write me out of the show!"

I have the impression that filing a false police report is not usually considered much of a crime. False rape accusations are usually not prosecuted or result in minimal legal consequences, though the crime has a specific human victim, the falsely accused rapist. In this case there is no specific victim.
