HaHaHa! Nice joke. Want to hear another one officer? Its called “How I blew my 30 year career by opening my big mouth”.

Every over eager butthurt commentator who attacked anyone who said that’s it’s possible this was staged is, by Monday, going to look like a fucking idiot.

Taking money and not delivering services is fraud. I’m sure they pay off the promoter and charges get dropped either way, but when you tell little old ladies you’re going to build them a new bathroom for $17,000 and you never deliver, you deserve to go to jail. It’s all the same legal protection.

The Root and Ms. Stidhum are to scared to publish dissent here. It’s about maintaining the lie of the victim echo chamber.

This is what happens when the liberal demand for hate crimes is higher than the supply.

Maga chuds don’t watch empire you fucking morons. There’s no way any trump supporter knew who this motherfucker was

Why don’t you admit Jussie slandered and accused a whole bunch of people and practiced hate himself? And that you have that same hate in your heart.

Um, yeah, this hurts, but it needs to be said. BLACK FOLKS FAKING SH*T for publicity and blaming WHITE GUYS-IS RACIST. Calling-out everyone who points out that a black dude lied to YOU to frame an imaginary white guy, yes that is also RACIST.
Crap, the light toned African-American dude was using the actual dark skinned…

Still are putting out articles trying to make the Covington kids look like racist whites despite all of that being proven incorrect. Even had a follow up article saying they are still racist, but nothing written on the actual racist stuff being spewed by the ADULTS. If they want to be in permanent victimhood that’s…

I feel you, I meant the story about how this is whiteys fault anyways, is already drawn up and ready to go. Gotta get them sheep to click on the stuff they can “relate” to!

You just gonna hold on to this to the death aren’t you lol. They arrested two Nigerian Empire extras for the “beating”.

Well, he’s right this time, so, hate the game I guess?

Now you ask to wait for more information? People were on here calling anyone who had doubts a racist or a homophobe. They were very certain that this actually happened, but no one said wait for more information. As the days went on this cycle continued and only now that it could be a hoax are you asking to wait for…

Typical of you to cast blame at people who were skeptical of this obvious lie the whole time (the story never made any sense), but not at the scores of high-profile celebrities, media outlets and left-wing politicians who instantly believed him and reveled in the opportunity to insult and criticize Republicans and…

“black bodies” lol

“General and healthy skepticism aside, there’s something else occurring here that needs to be pointed out: there are clearly people who never believed Smollett from the very beginning.”

“The safest thing to do was to remain silent about it until actual suspects were confirmed or charges were handed out (professional reporting notwithstanding), as the entire narrative appeared to stand on shaky ground.”

FUNNY HOW “THE ROOT” NEVER DID ANY OF THAT.

I think some of that “joy” comes from seeing people who were so sure that there was nothing strange about the attack have to walk back their hot takes.

Time will tell if The Root’s writers, after taking Jussie’s story hook,line and sinker, gain a sense of skepticism when the details of this story are all out. My guess: not a snowball’s chance in hell. It would be nice though.
