Don't get me wrong..I can think of reasons why the smollet case is a shame. It's a shame that we live in a country where it might seem like the best chance you have at a raise is to be the victim of a hatecrime.
So your argument is that because other people get away with shit, Smollett shouldn't be punished harshly?
Not really, but there's something to be said for equality under law even when that equality expresses itself as evading consequence. If we're going to have a discussion about how it's a shame that this or that person doesn't get the book thrown at them then we'd better be in the habit of consistently throwing books. I'm simply noting that we aren't, and that probably -is- a shame.
Nutballs are calling for blood in this case..for what? Because a guy tried to lie his way into a better paygrade? Filed a false police report? Sure, lemme go grab my torch and khakis....lol.

Yet another guy who is just pissed off that Smollett was caught. Claiming that he did this simply to increase his brand value is a lie. He did this to incite hatred and probably violence. As I've said before, Smollett probably would have been real pleased with himself if his deception had not been detected, and a some white teenagers with MAGA hats got assaulted out of retaliation for Smollett's retarded attempt at a false flag operation. Smollett did this primarily because he wanted to increase hatred. It was a hate crime.

Sure, Jessie Smollet, hate-criming race war provocateur trying to get those poor white teenage MAGAts assaulted.
Or..if the lying cuck prosecutors can be believed, he intended to raise his profile and profit.

I'm not certain that equity of law provides for equity of outcome, which I believe is the goal. He should be held personally responsible for his actions, as we're not to the point where everyone is ok persecuting intent. Unless he went gogling, ways to incite hatred in America it'd be very hard to prove his intent. I believe the majority of default intents are still usually money and power.
As such, I'd like to see him charged with filing a false police report, solicitation to commit a crime of violence and inciting to riot and fined disproportionately heavy.

I don't think that his intent is hard to prove. It was a false flag attack that he tried to pin on white Trump supporters. Obviously, anger toward white Trump supporters was intended.

Jussie Smollett, hateful racist piece of garbage. At least I would be saying exactly the same thing about a white guy who did what Smollett did, and tried to pin it on black people. I call everyone out on their racist bullshit.

Honestly I haven't been following the details closely at all. If he coached his would be attackers to wear a certain outfit, in a recorded conversation/email with them; or in some other provable way then I would agree. If he just identified his "white maga wearing attackers" all by his lonesome, then there's no way to prove his intent. He could have been capitalizing on whatever was galvanizing on the news at the time (kid in maga hat at native american parade). If it had been done right after a trench coat wearing goth kid shot up a school he could have chosen that as a galvanizing description for more sympathy. Keyword being to incite sympath. If you want to late out evidence for a case of his intent I'll listen and might agree.

We're on to the hypocrisy part of the narrative now? Boy, that was quick. At this rate we'll be at racial elimination by noon.

You know, you’d think at this point, the left would be more pissed off at Smollett. Bear in mind, the Right has reached the point where virtually any major tragedy is dismissed as a false flag operation; and we now have a growing segment of the right that thrives on good old-fashioned race baiting and thrives on literally anything that could potentially give them credibility. With this in mind, I have no doubt that they’re going to start latching onto Jussie Smollet’s case and use it as an excuse to dismiss legitimate grievances (especially actual hate crimes) that black people have to deal with.
