Jussie Smollett sentenced to jail for staging hate crime (150 days in jail and 30 months of probation)

The Jussie Smollett saga has come to an end – for now.

A Chicago judge sentenced the fallen star to 150 days in jail and 30 months of probation Thursday for lying to police more than three years after he asked two men to “fake beat him up” and shout racist and homophobic slurs at him in an elaborate scheme to raise his public profile.

The judge asked Smollett if he had anything he’d like to say and he at first seemed to say no before a final outburst in which the former “Empire” actor proclaimed his innocence and seemed to imply some kind of conspiracy against him.

“I am not suicidal. I am innocent, and I’m not suicidal. If I did this, then it means that I stubbed my fist in the fears of black Americans in this country for over 400 years and the fears of the LGBTQ community,” Smollett said.

Brandon Straka, the founder of the “Walk away” movement from democrats, go pretty much got exactly the same sentence as Juicy PLUS he was also put on the terrorism watch list. What was Brandons crime? He video taped the Jan.6th protest. He did not engage in violence, he did not enter the Capital building, all he did was videotape.
