Privilege of wealth
Privilege of wealth
The Tide just Turned.
Now that he's 100% Innocent, now Jussie can Sue the CPD et al. for the false invective against him.
I'm glad that he was able to start this National Conversation for us.

Apparently, a former staffer of Michele Obama intervened, derailed the entire thing. Likely on behalf of the Obama's. Predictable. I'm no fan of Rham Emanuel but his comments were right on the money in this case. I suspect the FBI won't be as forgiving.

According to Rep. McAuliffe, Illinois offers a 30% Film Tax Credit and an additional bonus of 15% is available on labor expenditures in high-poverty areas.
Under his proposed legislation, Rep. McAuliffe says any movie or TV production that employs the actor would forfeit that credit or any other credits administered by the Illinois Department of Revenue or the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

+1. Jussie's family statement emphasized his focus in going to go after the perpetrators of this heinous hate crime.
Why are so many ppl instantly trying to forgive & forget with the racist M.aga homophobes after what they did?

Short answer: no wrote:
"This is a person who has been let off scot-free. You have a person using hate crime laws to advance your career. Is there no decency in this man?"
“Where is the accountability in the system? You cannot have because of a person’s position one set of rules applies to them and another set of rules apply to everyone else,” Emanuel fumed, relating the ruling to the nationwide college admissions cheating scandal that broke earlier this month.
“Our officers did hard work day in and day out, countless hours working to unwind what actually happened that night. The city saw its reputation dragged through the mud … It’s not just the officers’ work, but the work of the grand jury that made a decision based on only a sliver of the evidence [presented],” he continued. “Because of the judge’s decision, none of that evidence will ever be made public.” (OTOH, "sealed records" are often "leaked" in Illinois...)
“[This case] sends a clear message that if you’re in a position of influence and power you'll be treated one way and if you're not you'll be treated another way,” he said.
Rahm appears shocked to find corruption in Chicago. Reminiscent of gambling at Rick's.
"Jussie is a son, a brother, a partner, a champion for human rights, and a genuine soul who would never be capable of what he was falsely accused of.
He was the victim of an assault and then falsely blamed for his own attack. This morning truth has prevailed and he has been vindicated. All charges have been dismissed and his record expunged (cleared).
The painful incidents we’ve witnessed him endure over the past 7 weeks have been heartbreaking and unjust to say the least. While many were quick to rush to judgement before hearing the actual truth, we are grateful that the truth about Jussie has come to light.
We look forward to bringing the real perpetrators to justice. We thank God and our village for standing by us during this trying time."

Another tale of the lenient Chicagoland system. A newborn and a gun On March 16, 2017, Jackson’s live-in girlfriend showed police officers bruises on her face and neck. Jackson had grabbed her by the throat and punched her in the head, she said. She took officers to a bedroom where the couple’s 16-day-old child was sleeping. Jackson had placed a loaded 9-millimeter handgun on the bed directly next to the child with the barrel pointing at the unattended newborn. Prosecutors charged him with domestic battery and causing a child to be endangered. A protective order was issued, barring Jackson from contacting the victims and from possessing any firearms.
Less than four months later, on July 3rd, 2017, the bad situation turned worse.
Armed with a handgun that he was prohibited from having, Jackson broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home where he had been ordered not to go. He brandished the gun and threatened to kill both the woman and the couple’s now-four-month-old child, in blatant violation of the court’s no-contact order.
Afterward, the woman called police and told them where they could find Jackson: He had an appointment that morning for pre-hiring screening at the Chicago Police Academy. Officers arrested him there in possession of a loaded handgun.
Jackson was charged with one of the state’s most serious crimes, Class X felony home invasion while armed with a firearm. Other felony charges filed included residential burglary, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in a vehicle, and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon in violation of a protective order.
His bail was set at $50,000.
Unable to raise a $5,000 deposit bond, Jackson sat in jail until Aug. 30, 2018, when he reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.
According to the deal, he would plead guilty to all charges in the first incident. In the second incident, prosecutors would throw out the home invasion and all weapons charges, then the state would reduce the remaining burglary count to “attempted burglary,” and Jackson would plead guilty in exchange for probation.
The state presented the deal in court, and Judge Ursula Walowski approved.
Walowski sentenced Jackson to 30 months of “intensive probation,” fined him $500, ordered him to submit a DNA sample, and issued a protective order that barred him from having a gun and from contacting his victims. Again. She ordered Jackson to perform 30 hours of community service and wrote that he “shall be on GPS monitor and curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. for [the] first six months.” Two of Jackson’s guns in the police department’s possession were ordered destroyed.
Despite being handed the great gift of serving no prison time and enjoying the leniency of a prosecutor who dropped a cakewalk armed home invasion case in favor of a single, reduced charge of “attempted” burglary, Jackson still wouldn’t play by the rules.
On Feb. 21st, prosecutors learned that Jackson had allowed his GPS monitor batteries to run dead. A violation of probation motion was filed.
Then, on March 8th, Jackson again enjoyed the kind hand of Cook County “justice” as Judge Claps decided not to penalize him for breaking probation promises. Jackson’s electronic monitor was removed. His curfew was terminated.
Two weeks later, Jackson and an as-yet-unnamed companion were at the Rock & Roll McDonald’s in River North at 2:30 a.m. on March 23rd. Somehow, Jackson and his friend got into a dispute with a busload of about 10 Hispanic partiers. Police were called. The situation was resolved.
But Jackson wasn’t done, prosecutors say.
He left the McDonald's and got another handgun that he was not allowed to have. Then, Jackson and the man who is still being sought by police began looking for the group of Hispanic partiers, according to allegations. Jackson and the other offender bumped into frequently-arrested local vagrant Jovan Battle and asked if he had seen the Hispanic group. Battle—who some police sources say was paid $5 by Jackson for his guidance—gestured with a bottle toward Officer John P. Rivera’s car where the off-duty cop, his girlfriend, another off-duty officer, and a male friend had settled in for their drive home.
Jackson walked up to the driver’s side of Rivera’s car and began firing without saying a word.
Rivera and his group had not been at the Rock & Roll McDonald’s. They had never encountered Jackson or his friend before. Instead, they had merely walked out of nearby Stout Barrel House and prepared to return home.
CPD Supt. Eddie Johnson today said Rivera was killed because he was “the first Hispanic man” Jackson saw after returning to River North.
We'll see whether murder is enough for Cook County Crooks to finally prosecute?
“This looks like because he’s an actor, a person of influence, he got treated differently than anybody else,” Emanuel told "Good Morning America" Wednesday when asked if the state's decision to drop the charges was “corrupt.”
https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1110863657397710848Emanuel asked Stephanopoulos how he'd be treated if, as the Jewish mayor of a city with a large Jewish population, people learned he had painted a swastika on his porch to get sympathy.
"Do you think I would get away with two days at the Anti-Defamation League as my community service? Really? This is not on the level," Emanuel said.

Hahaha, there are plenty of his politics and race that will be locked up for much less today. To quote Chris Rock, this was about fame.

Wrong. It's about his gender - male, his race (i.e. the part of him that is white), and his not having any physical handicap - in that order. Hi s economic orientation (i.e. capitalist) also played a key role.

I doubt if the "victim" had not been a celebrity, the CPD would have gone balls to the wall to trying to prove he was lying. Aren't there murders to investigate in Chicago?
The 2 brothers who allegedly faked the homophobic and racist "attack" against Jussie Smollett will not go public and stand by their claim it was all staged ... and we've learned their lawyer has quit as a result.
Moments after Jussie was cleared by the State's Attorney, the lawyer for Abel and Ola urged them to make a public statement, standing by their claim Jussie faked the "attack." We're told they refused, and ultimately their lawyer, Gloria Schmidt, bailed on them, saying she didn't want to rep them anymore.
The question ... why would Abel and Ola go radio silent, especially because Jussie essentially pointed the finger right back at them, saying he never lied and the "attack" was real? The police, prosecutors and even the 2 brothers say they were the ones in the street with Jussie ... but everyone other than the actor says it was a hoax.
