(Newsmax) “CHICAGO — Former Empire actor Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in the Cook County Jail Thursday, three months after he was found guilty of lying about a racist, homophobic hate crime attack in Streeterville in early 2019.
“In announcing his verdict Thursday evening after an hours [sic] of arguments, Cook County Judge James Linn said to Smollett, ‘You really craved the attention…You wanted to make yourself more famous, and for a while it worked.’”
“‘You were throwing a national pity party for yourself,’ Linn said, adding that a side of Smollett is ‘profoundly arrogant and selfish and narcissistic.’”
“Smollett opted to not make a statement before the sentence was announced, but once he learned his fate he began yelling in the courtroom that he was ‘not suicidal.’”
[N.S.: He doth protest too much.]
“Along with the 150 days in jail, Smollett was also sentenced to 30 months of probation. He also must pay the city just over $120,000 in restitution for the overtime spent by Chicago police officers who investigated his initial hate crime claim. Additionally, Linn imposed a $25,000 fine.”
[N.S.: I can’t recall a black offender ever paying off his fines.]
“Smollett was taken into custody immediately after the sentence was announced, and he continued yelling that he was ‘not suicidal’ as he was taken out of court.”
Nenye Uche, Smollett’s lead defense attorney, told Cook County Judge James Linn that a sentence of incarceration would put Smollett’s life in danger.
“‘The jails are inundated with the pandemic,’ Uche said. ‘Sending Mr. Smollett to jail is almost like a death sentence. Yes it is.’”
“Jussie Smollett found guilty on 5 of 6 counts of disorderly conduct”
“Webb, meanwhile, told Linn that Smollett’s actions had tangible negative impacts on true victims of hate crimes.”
“‘What Mr. Smollett did in this case is he denigrated, degraded true hate crimes and he marginalized the people who are true victims of hate crimes,’ Webb said. ‘That is what he did, and he did that knowingly.’”
GRA: A good sentence imho, though as we have mentioned, the term “hate crime” has probably outlived its usefulness.

This is an interesting piece. In it racist black prosecutor Kim Foxx dances around why she dropped charges against Smollett and let him walk without even paying restitution, when everyone knows its because he's black. She even paints herself as a victim, because, you guessed it, she's black.

>the term “hate crime” has probably outlived its usefulness
It never had any usefulness except to (or its only use was to) intimidate and judicially harass Whites as their country is being demographically stolen.
At the following link is a video clip where Eric Holder testifies before Congress that proposed new federal 'hate crime' statutes are only meant to protect groups who were 'historically targeted' -- he makes it as clear as he can that Whites are not a 'historically targeted' group, and the purpose of new 'hate crime' laws sought by Obama et al is not to protect Whites or prosecute 'hate' aimed at Whites.

This official attitude vis-a-vis 'hate crime' law and the classes or groups of people they are meant to protect has been a matter of public record for a long time -- it's basically policy.
>racist black prosecutor Kim Foxx
Another one.
It seems that not only are Democrats the 'real racists', but Blacks are also the 'real racists'.
To insure proper punishment the warden must insure that this creep is NOT raped in jail.
Blacks lover dramatics and theatrics. Especially during courtroom sentencing.
See a video perhaps the archetype of such courtroom outbursts.

Blacks love that kinda stuff. SBPL.
This is worth watching too. Smollett's brother Jake haranguing the media and whoever else cares to listen about his brother's apparent innocence. Does he really believe this bullshit, or is he just standing by his moron brother

At the link is a video of Smollett's Jewish grandmother scolding the judge during sentencing -- listen to what she says, and watch how she points and wags her finger at the judge, something that would normally result in at least a warning about contempt.
I'm a bit surprised they haven't deleted and closed comments.
