No comment, other than ... I'm so glad a certain Ikean is no longer here. If only because in his most primal moments, he seemed to think Carmen WAS Jussie Smollett.
I think this was the correct verdict. He should not have done what he did. If only because it has only made the plight of real victims of hate crimes worse because it's made them harder to be believed.

Yes. Falsely reporting hate crimes damages the credibility when real crimes are reported. I agree with you.ProfX wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 6:15 am A jury found Jussie Smollett guilty of falsely reporting a hate crime. Here's what comes next

That said, this is a great point. Every single one of the people in this picture attempted to weaponize the police with false reports against black men and woman. Where's the accountability for them? Oh right...

He’s going to appeal.
Re: Jussie Smollett Guilty 5 of 6 counts
His appeal, fines, and community service should have been over and done with by now.

And it is news because of how rare it is for a non MAGA or a non GOP or a non con does something bad or wrong or stupid.
I sigh in your general direction.
