Bigger picture: Smollett was trying to start a race war. It was a politically motivated ruse meant to brand Trump supporters as racists bent on attacking blacks, including putting a noose around their necks. He was putting a target on the backs of Trump supporters.

Smollett committed a heinous, premeditated crime. It isn’t a joke or laughing matter. He was inciting violence. He must receive jail time.

What part of the case being mentioned in the actual Illinois sentencing guidelines don’t you understand?

“never give up the con!”

The first rule of the confidence game.
Poor Juicy needs to learn from the Clintons, Obamas and Bidens.

Maybe so.

I just listened to a news broadcast that said “He could be sentenced up to three years and ….”

There was no mention of ‘for each count.’

race war? Yeah, it’s clear that juicy was good buds with the obolas and probably thot he was covered by the dims.. It didn’t come up in the trial, I guess, but wouldn’t surprise me if the obolas put him up to the scam for just that reason?

I believe the judge has discretion on concurrent or consecutive sentences.

Probation and community service ... can you image him “servicing the community” .... probably set up shop in some parking lot and service them out of a probation car.

Dear media: Now that he is PROVEN guilty, can we drop the “allegedly faked a hate crime” BS?

This was a hate crime in my opinion. His goal was to incite hate against people he disagrees with and doesn’t like.

He SHOULD do prison time. If I were the judge I would give him 5 years in prison (one for every conviction) and offer him the possibility of decreasing it to one year if he told the truth and admitted he made it all up in order to advance hatred against white Trump supporters.

I'm wondering if anyone has the stomach to check for any coverage on CNN or MSNBC.

I confess I DO NOT have the stomach for it.

I am now going to take Mark Twain’s advice concerning arguing with a fool.

Have a pleasant remainder of the evening.

Last refuge of someone losing an argument... ad hominem insults. Classy.

...If he told the police in one conversation that “two guys assaulted me” then maybe that’s not a crime … because two guys DID assault him.

I am not so certain about that. If he tells them to pretend to assault him and pays them to do it is the result really "assault"?

Exactly. It’s always about the revolution.
