I wish there were no MAGA hats involved because I don't want to even appear to be on the FOXNEWS side of this argument, but it is ridiculous that Smollette is getting this deal. And I don't care if other people have gotten the same deal that he has. This is a high profile case and they need to make an example of him. This bullshit dog and pony show he orchestrated is going to hurt victims of REAL hate crimes from this day forward.
I agree.
If you're someone in the spotlight like Jussie Smollett is, you should be held to higher standards of the law than the general public is in my opinion. What Jussie Smollett did isn't something that should be brushed off as "no big deal". This type of stuff creates even more division among the public especially when you take into account the higher profile status of Smollett which will gain more attention than someone like you are me lying about something like this. People were posting about it all over twitter with even those running for office getting involved in the lie. Yet all Smollett gets is a slap on the wrist. It's ridiculous. Make an example of this clown.
