Why dont you get that he is innocent in the eyes of the law until proved otherwise. Put the pitchfork down for just two minutes and accept that right now he is an innocent man. I know. You don't need to keep repeating it. As I've already said. It is also irrelevant. We are discussing how you think it is acceptable for a person (any person, not specifically Smollet) to fake a hate crime as a bizarre attempt to highlight hate crime. That doesn't stand up to logic however. As I said, there are plenty of genuine hate crimes that such a person could just bring attention to instead. There is absolutely no reason to fake one, and so is not a justification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jonnyhonda 10 #38 Posted August 3, 2019 In an earlier post you state you think Jussie Smollet should be commended for faking a hate crime to shine a light on discrimination and racism ? It doesn't sound to me as though you think it is a vile thing to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You seem to just ignore the meaning of my posts or just cherry pick the bits you like. Its almost like you want to ignore the fact that Jussie is guilty of nothing yet and even if proved guilty I believe his motives were pure. Maybe if he was not a POC you would find that easier to understand? 1 minute ago, jonnyhonda said: In an earlier post you state you think Jussie Smollet should be commended for faking a hate crime to shine a light on discrimination and racism ?

Take your time im not that busy tonight. 3 hours ago, Waj said: Smollet "may" have done the wrong thing. As far as im concerned he is innocent until proved guilty in a court of law but if he has done wrong then ask yourself why he felt the need to do what he did. He probably wanted to shine light on the discrimination and plain old fashioned racism many people of colour face on a daily basis in the US. For that he should be commended.

Robin-H 11 #46 Posted August 3, 2019 Deary me. This is tortuous. You said that if he had done wrong, he 'probably' did it to shine light on discrimination, and for that he should be commended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Now if that is not stating Jussie Smollet should be commended then I can't help you any further , but never mind . Just tell me , do you think faking a hate crime is a vile thing to do ?
