WaPo: Jussie Smollett’s ‘Unjust’ Sentence Due to ‘Legal Vigilantism’ of ‘Perverted’ Justice System
Breitbart ^ | 03/17/2022 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 03/17/2022 10:53:16 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Jussie Smollett’s “unjust” sentencing is proof of the “legal vigilantism” of the “perverted” U.S. justice system where those in power can jail a man because of his skin color, according to a recent Washington Post piece by MSNBC analyst Paul Butler who argued that “sending a Black gay man to jail for lying about being attacked” sends a message to hate crime victims that they may suffer incarceration “if authorities don’t believe their stories.”

Better to just do the time. He will have to hire bodyguards just to go out in public.

Jussie was probably in a nice private room the whole time, he sure wasn’t in Gen Pop.

Jussie Smollett released from jail: Will he successfully appeal conviction? Legal experts weigh in!

Monica Cannon-Grant, a Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader in Boston, and her husband, Clark Grant, were hit with an 18-page federal indictment for fraud and conspiracy on Tuesday.

Federal authorities allege that Cannon-Grant and Grant have defrauded a large sum of donor dollars out of over $1 million in grants and donations given to their nonprofit, Violence in Boston, which aims to help violence survivors in the city.

Cannon-Grant, a prominent BLM organizer, was arrested outside of her Beantown home Tuesday and declined to comment at the courthouse after being released on personal recognizance, meaning she'll remain free without bail but with a written promise to appear in court.

Our two-tiered "No Justice!" system strikes again! Who didn't see this coming?

The authorities in Chicago gave him an out and told him if he apologized, they would drop it, but of course he could not stoop to that. So they took it to court and he lost.

These hoaxes are NOT harmless. There are a bunch of Christmas parade participant in Waukesha who might still be in one piece if only the hysteria was dialed down.

There was a case many years ago where some skinhead victims successfully sued a TV repair guy in California because he wrote and lectured on skinhead stuff. He was not anywhere near the incident, but he was still held responsible for putting them up to it. This principle needs to be dusted off and put to use today.

There was an article in the WSJ about shenanigans with the pension fund for AME pastors and employees. All the retirees have had their pensions suspended while they try to find the money.

I'd say ‘unbelievable’ but unfortunately, these days, typical of godless, Leftist publications.

As a MAGA supporter, I’m still waiting for Jussie to apologize for smearing us as racists.

“Just when you think justice has finally been served- along comes a scum that allows him to be freed from jail.”

He has not been “freed”. He’s out on bond in order to have an appeal hearing.

His sentence was so short, he would have completed it before a judge had time to hear the appeal. However, there is no guarantee he will get a new trial.

Even if he gets a new trial, he could get convicted again and sentenced to MORE time in jail.

More than likely his appeal will be denied and he will return to jail. His lawyers may play stalling tactics, but it is likely now that he will serve his jail time.

He’s also destroyed his career.

If you hire somebody to fake a hate crime, DO NOT pay them with a check.

When one is on any financial committee for a non profit, what you posted is a constant nightmare these days.

Or a bunch of non profit blood suckers preying on your treasury funds.
