Deception Hurts
Back in 2019 when I analyzed Jussie Smollett’s statements about this hate crime, his body language, statements and his lack of details about the attack I knew that the actor was being deceptive. A first year profiling student would have been able to detect the deception in Smollett’s story.
My articles I wrote on Smollett’s story can be found on my webpage under articles on page two and on Facebook. The issue I have with this hoax is the media was all over his story before any of them had one ounce of evidence. From congress women to the media they all were jumping on the racist hate crime bandwagon. They were blaming Trump and everyone else in between. The harm that Smollett has caused in this country between people, the waist of law enforcements time and money and the harm he has caused by fueling additional racial hatred between people where non existed is inexcusable.
I received a lot of heat when I first posted my articles on this alleged hate crime many people were angry with me for not believing his story. There are hate crimes in this country against Asians, African Americans, White people and many other races, creeds and colors and should never be tolerated. My articles were not based on past hate crimes, my articles were on Smollett’s alleged hate crime. I explained there were to many red flags in his story. I have stated many times before get the evidence first, many times than not things are not always what they appear to be. Emotions cloud judgment. The media in this country did not care about facts, his story fit their narrative that was all they cared about.
Jussie Smollett wanted to be the "center of attention" and to serve his own self serving interests, no more, no less. He was found guilty yesterday on five of the six charges of staging a racist and homophobic hoax attack. He should pay a fine for all the money he caused law enforcement for wasting their time and resources. Will he do jail time? I doubt it. He will probably get probation and a heavy fine.
Nearly three years after dropping all charges against Empire actor Jussie Smollett, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx faced heavy criticism Thursday after Smollett was found guilty of staging a racist and homophobic attack.
