Jussie Smollett Will Be the New O.J.: A despised person for the rest of his days
PJ Media ^ | 03/27/2019 | Roger Simon

Posted on 03/27/2019 11:11:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

News that Jussie Smollett was being let off without doing time for tying up the city of Chicago and half the world's media with his bizarre accusation of being beaten by homophobic Trump supporters in the middle of the night was met by predictable fury from Chicago's mayor and chief of police.

But they needn't worry. Smollett should. He will be the new O. J., another man getting away with a crime he committed in full public view. That didn't work out very well for The Juice. In fact, he's a pariah for life. And it won't for Smollett either. He will be a despised person for the rest of his days and a symbol of unequal justice. He might as well have gone to jail, served the time, and been forgiven.

Yes, the media was playing up a potential sentence of 48 years, but that would have been unlikely to have happened. It would have been a few years and out, especially if the man apologized. Now he's in the situation of perpetually defending himself. Maybe he should hire a detective as O. J. did, promising to find just who the perps were — someone perhaps in "the world of Faye Resnick," as Johnny Cochran famously put it.

More importantly — although it should be irrelevant, perception is everything — his release is also a terrible thing for black people, though Smollett is evidently too self-involved to realize it. You can blather on all you want about "white privilege," but does anyone possibly think Smollett's blackness had nothing to do with this result, that he got the wrong kind of favoritism, the reverse racist kind? Imagine, if you will, what would have happened to a Trump supporter who manufactured an attack by gay activists. Good-bye, freedom. Hello, bars for decades.

Does this help race relations?

But that's where we are in today's America, even after the unmasking of the Russia hoax. Or was this revelation timed to come out after that reveal? I'm probably being paranoid.

By dismissing all charges against him, the left was hoping to start a race war, just so they could say: "See, there is rampant racism in this country."

It's what they do best.

Wrong. All three hoaxers are gods in the eyes of the left.

O.J. would have escaped prison had he not been such an idiot and knucklehead.

Smollett is a subplot here. The real story that affects us all is the how and who that made this happen.

He’s an a-hole, but he didn’t cut off anyone’s head.

Smollett is a gay actor. Gays and actors both live in a world of make-believe. Nothing is real! Let the show go on.

Jussie Smollett will be loved and adored for ages to come by the hate-Whitey crowd. He will not be jobless very much longer. After a few months, quietly, he will get a job making lot of money and probably become director of diversity.

Maybe...somewhat similar?

Maybe.

OJ was famous!

I can recall my long deceased mother rooting for ‘The Juice’ while running for 1,998 yards one season — later, after reviewing ‘ALL the videos’ the NFL awarded 3 extra yards that ‘were overlooked’ to his total to give OJ 2,001 yards of running in one season.

And OJ was ‘running through airports’ until Hertz Rentals allowed him, and American citizens, to walk.

The Faggot does not have the chops to be compared to OJ as OJ’s fall was spectacular.

But##ker needs the same end outcome however...

When “no collusion” was found, the left, and the media, needed something big, something ludicrous, and something shocking, to get those headlines out of the news...thus, this bogus (and illegal) release of Smollett.

It’s dominating the news - and only the media can create a “media frenzy”, no one else.

They’re trying to save their sorry reputations and Smollett is the distraction they’re trying to use...but, it will be like trying the stop a Cruise Missile with a fly swatter.

All that was missing was the “So THERE!” pronouncement to Trump.

Look. I think we need to take a step back and remember that despite all his acting in tears and everything there’s no dead people we don’t have the ex-wife and the friend in pools of blood on the ground like we did with OJ OK?
Same with that ditzy broad from Palo Alto that was a very important episode in American history because they tried to Clarence Thomas kavanaugh and it did not work.
Linda’s speech was ALL TIME
The entire Democrat narrative that has worked so well over the last 50 years is slowly but Surely falling apart and this is in no small part due to A talk radio B Internet and c independent investigative reporting

Stupid comparison. OJ was prosecuted and was acquitted by a jury of his peers. Civilly he was sued and found liable by another jury of his peers for wrongful death. Smollett escaped the first and there doesn’t appear to be any plaintiff for the latter.So unless the Feds take action he walks out clean. His reputation? He’s got his believers from the Obamas to Soros.

The jerk’s file disappears in one day, but it is important to see all the details of Mueller’s report forever...
