Jussie Smollett Arrest and Charge

I totally forgot about this guy. I thought he died but I guess it was the actor from the wire (Omar). I guess I mixed up a black guy that played a queer with an actual gay black guy.

That said...Omar was a great character on The Wire.

Maybe make a list of black actors who get into legal trouble, and keep it handy, or on your phone, so you can keep up with this sophisticated discussion.

Good. Eat shit.

Actor Jussie Smollett found guilty of staging fake hate crime

CHICAGO, Dec 9 (Reuters) - Actor Jussie Smollett, one-time star of the TV drama "Empire," was found guilty on Thursday of staging a hate crime against himself in what prosecutors said was a bid to gain sympathy and boost his career.

Prosecutors said Smollett, who is Black and gay, lied to police when he told them that he was accosted on a dark Chicago street by two masked strangers in January 2019.

The actor faces a maximum sentence of three years in prison for each count when he is sentenced, although he could be given probation.

The Cook County Circuit Court jury, which deliberated for nine hours, found Smollett, 39, guilty of five of the six felony disorderly conduct counts he faced, one for each time he was accused of lying to police.

I do that.

Top of the list was Baby Ceo, Gonzoe, Yung Kece, Young Dolph and Slim 400.

The problem is, before they can manage to get into legal trouble they all keeping getting murdered instead.

It?s awkward.

And kind of a waste of time.

I knew #205 was satire immediately. Maybe I?ll read it later.
