[cybervampira]

Ita. *snickers*

Maybe the next time JS is out in public the three of them will be observed out at a restaurant, hashing this all over again ?

At Subways? This is too old school! They‘ll be sending each other Instagram stories.

Oh, she and her "Elite string pullers" from that Chicago Tribune article linked twice or more above, are gonna be remembered now I betcha....moo

When I first read about behind the scenes phone calls I became nauseous. But since the evidence had been presented to a GJ I had faith.

It's obvious exactly WHO was behind this decision.
Plain as rain.

JS career is still toast because the viewing public are still furious. MOO

 

[cody22]

So whose decision was this? And whose decision was it to release the info like they did today? If you had to design a BAD way to handle this decision, today's actions were it.

There should be no confusion and bafflement about authority like today's news caused. Very poorly handled.

jmo

Find out who is the second in command to Kim Fox and you have your decision maker for the State.....moo

This needs to be dumbed down for me. I still don't understand why Jussie and his family wanted this moved to the FBI.

It has been reported that KF is closely associated with Nancy Pelosi, Corey Booker, Kamala Harris and Toni Preckwinkle. Any bad publicity on KF will also reflect on them.
Moving the case to Federal jurisdiction takes the state prosecution (and potential political fallout) out of KF's hands. FB I does not get elected by the public.

JS refused to turn over his phone including call logs, messaging and all contacts.
You have to wonder why?

 

[SuziQ]

Who in their right mind would want their case sent to the FBI? Only someone who knew it would be favorable to them, that's who.

Eta: forgot the IMO!

Emanuel said this "sends a clear message that if you're in a position of influence and power you'll get treated one way, other people will be treated another way."

"There is no accountability, then, in the system. It is wrong, full stop," he said.

"Our officers did hard work day in and day out, countless hours, working to unwind what actually happened that night," he said. "The city saw its reputation dragged through the mud."


Johnson said the city "is still owed an apology."

"I've heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so that America could know the truth," he said. "They chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system."

Charges dropped against Jussie Smollett, attorneys say

The gay Tupac needed to save face with his village. He couldn't bear to face the shame. IMO

 

[jggordo]

TO ME this almost feels like "tit for tat" with a Justice Department decision handed down just this week.

JMO

 

[SaguaroSpirit]

Something's fishy, I can juss smollett.

 

[Teche]

I’m sure he hopes he never needs the assistance from Chicago’s police.

 

[cody22]

Has poor innocent Jussie signed his book deal offer yet ?....moo

 

[Puzzles8]

Find out who is the second in command to Kim Fox and you have your decision maker for the State.....moo

I think this decision was made at a much higher national level.
MOO

I think this decision was made at a much higher national level.
MOO

Trump?

"Chicago police department."
"Yes, this is Jussie Smollett. I'd like to report a ha--"

I’m sure he hopes he never needs the assistance from Chicago’s police.

Do you really think he would ask for help from them after the way he was tried by the public due to leaks that were said not to have come from their dept.
He had the right idea the first time.He should have taken a shower and gone to bed. IMO

Chicago mayor still calls Smollett story a hoax after charges dropped

Police had said actor staged hate crime

(CNN) - Chicago's mayor and the city's police superintendent reacted angrily Tuesday to news that charges against actor Jussie Smollett were dropped, with both of them still calling Smollett's claim that he was attacked a "hoax."

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel called the decision by the prosecutor a "whitewash of justice." ...

 

[oceanblueeyes]

I don't think they look like fools at all. Did you watch the press conference that just happened? The CORRUPTION clearly lies in the prosecutor's office.

Their PC was absolutely one of the best I've ever seen. I even liked what the Mayor said, which I usually refuse to watch! Lol

I agree with everything they said. Everything. Another example that lady justice isn't really blind. It all depends on who the defendant happens to be.

What is a dark day for justice.

What a terrible message to send to those who diligently serve on grand juries. What a slap in the face to all of them, and all of their hard work.

Jussie, and this prosecutor has made a mockery out of not only justice, but to everyone, including true victims of hate crimes.

Imo

I think this was rushed through because of upcoming elections.

 

[gitana1]

This is a strange outcome. I know he faked this. It was a hoax. Letting celebs get away with this kind of thing hurts civil rights and social justice, IMO. People have to be accountable for crimes like this.

 

[LietKynes]

Hope Jussie doesn't need real assistance from the CPD anytime soon......

 

[MassGuy]

The most frustrating part of this, is that he is going to be able to use this “attack” as currency, for the rest of his life.

Forfeiture of his bond, ain’t justice.

Without him being compelled to tell the truth, his lies will live on.

I couldn’t have cared less if he ever served a day in jail, I just wanted him to admit what he did.

He never will.
