That’s who I was talking about when I said “they.”
Oh this is getting absurd by the day! This is a “Whoopsie!” Lol!
Yet the prosecutor let him go.
The dual justice system on full display.
What would the penalty be for the perp’s if this attack had actually happened?
“Justice” would mean at a minimum he receives the same penalty.
Personally with the political and emotional nature of “hate crimes” I think faking one should bring double the sentence.
Mind you, unlike most plea deal he walks away from this with no conviction whatsoever and he should have a felony record with all that entails.

I have seen it reported both ways, credit for prior community service and required to do community service. Either way the whole thing stinks without his admitting to committing the crime. Can you imagine if a rich republican walked out of court with the prosecution saying he paid 10k and had the charges dropped? That’s not justice, it’s a straight up bribe. If there is no admitting of wrongdoing how do they justify taking the money?
It wouldn’t be out of line if he admitted guilt and was plead down to a fine and community service, what stinks to high heaven is no admittance of guilt and sealed record, which may contain an admittance of guilt. False reporting doesn’t usually result in a sentence. But given his prior it could have. Allowing him to walk and still go around claiming he’s innocent while at the same time taking 10k is highly unusual. The feds need to take a peek at this.
I watched the full interview with the DA and yes he gave him credit for “community service” that had already been performed which was nothing more than him volunteering to help Jesse Jackson for parts of two days, less than 16 hours in total.
The whole thing is an egregious abuse of the system and the public. I’m no fan of Rombo but he’s right to be incensed over this as are the police.
This was a case of 16 felonies not including the federal charges he should be facing. “Privileged Privilege”.
Got the right political connections and some cash? No problem, yer outta here!
I am trying to figure out how you can be totally not guilty and still have to fork over 10k?
He was guilty as hell, the DA admitted they had a solid case that they’d have no problem winning.
There was no finding here of guilt period since the case was dismissed.
Two tier justice. One rule for thee and another for me.
Like I said earlier, “‘Justice’ for Me but not for Thee”.
Just trying to figure out how they get to eat the cake and keep it too. Not guilty, can’t bring charges, but keep his money? How does that work? I have heard of plea deals, but I never heard of prosecutors saying there is no case and getting a chunk of change.

Take your pick.
There wasn’t even a plea here, the charges were dropped completely and the case sealed.
The city should take this judge before the judicial review board and the entire thing taken to the court of appeals.
The prosecutor needs to be fired and disbarred.

D) Political favor, payoff to be announced and collected on in the future.
I will cheer on all future hate crimes.
If whites do not get justice for crimes against us (false accusations) then I don’t care if anyone else gets justice. Fuck them.
This is the world they have created.

Smollett is kind of the OJ Simpson for white people.
I think we’re clear to riot on this one.

Why riot? Arrest his attackers if it’s not a hoax. Lock his buddies up for a hate crime. They’re obviously violent, racist, homophobic undercover Trump supporters, since it obviously wasn’t a hoax!
