Jussie Smollett, ‘lest we forget
John Kass News ^ | 12 Dec 2021 | John Kass

Posted on 12/12/2021 5:26:19 PM PST by Rummyfan

Now that entertainer and Obama White House star Jussie Smollett has been convicted on multiple counts of faking an anti-gay, anti-black, anti-Trump hate crime against himself, what do we hear?

We hear a predictable chorus from Woke Media World:

Let it go. Forget it. Leave it alone. Yes, he’s guilty. And that’s a good thing. But let’s never speak of Jussie again. The mention of his name vexes us. Hush. Please, just let it go.

Really? Let it go? Just forget about it?

I ask you, cui bono, who profits by not speaking of Smollett again? Who profits by pretending this didn’t happen?

The politicians who joined him in screaming about hate crimes and lynching. And media that carried Smollett’s hateful and dangerous hoax. They profit by your forgetting.

But the public doesn’t profit by letting it go. The rule of law does not profit. Confidence in our system of justice isn’t strengthened by forgetting. It is weakened by forgetting.

The high priests of grievances would rather we just let Smollett go away, because he failed in epic, Homeric fashion. And now he embarrasses them.

But not everyone is so gullible. Not everyone wants to stick their idiotic head in the sand.

One woman stood up. And with all the talk and all the voices going round and round the Jussie Smollett saga, and with some telling you to forget it and move on, and others shaking their fists at the wrong clowns in this clown show, it would be a shame if you didn’t remember her:

Retired Judge Sheila O’Brien.

Her dad was a cop. Her mother was a nurse. They raised her to not let things go. O’Brien is the one who heroically pushed for a special prosecutor in the Smollett case...

Chicago Sate's Attorney Kim Foxx and her good friend Kamala....

Between Foxx and Mayor Lightfoot (aka Groot) citizens of Chicago are being greatly ill-served.

The citizens of Chicago voted overwhelmingly for all these creeps. They’re getting exactly what they want and deserve.

“The citizens of Chicago voted overwhelmingly for all these creeps. They’re getting exactly what they want and deserve.”

Yep. The only thing left to do is get the remaining conservatives out before it completely implodes.

Al Sharpton said he should be punished to the full extent of the law. He needs jail time. These fake hoaxers need to stop.

I have no doubt. But that was really well written.

BTW, I have known a LOT of first-class apocalyptic jerks but so far, I’ve out lived them. Just wrote a nice obit for one that died last month. No point in holding grudges posthumously.

Calls Grow For Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to Resign After Smollett Verdict
PJ Media ^ | 12 Dec 2021 | Rick Moran
FR Posted on 12/12/2021, 8:34:53 PM by Rummyfan

The guilty verdicts in the Jussie Smollett fake hate crime trial underscore just how radical Chicago State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has proven to be.

She campaigned for office in 2015 advocating a radical brand of “criminal justice reform,” including no bail policies for almost every defendant and reduced sentencing, and during the riots last summer, her office adopted a “presumption of dismissal” for certain low-level charges.

Then came the Jussie Smollett case and the inexplicable dropping of charges against the actor, despite other prosecutors in her office claiming they had a “slam dunk” of a case. Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called it a “whitewashing of justice.”

Foxx had abused the privileges of her office by appointing her deputy....... Snip.....rest on FR.

==============================================

Foxx dropped Smollett's original charges saying, the $27,000 a week TV player “had suffered enough.”

Outrage ensued, but Soros stepped in and financed her reelection along w/ many other woke prosecutorial imbeciles.
