Social Justice warriors in Chicago have won a major victory; prosecutors have dropped 16 charges against hate-crimes hoaxer Jussie "pour some bleach on it" Smollett.
According to the Associated Press Smollett's attorneys say his record has been "wiped clean" and all of the felonies have been dismissed by the Prosecuting Attorneys office.
In other words, it's fine to frame the innocent in America, or at least Chicago, if you are gay and black.
Does this surprise anyone?
The Empire actor was indicted by a Grand Jury, but someone seems to have pulled some strings to get him out of trouble. Given his ties to Kamala Harris and sixties radical and now college prof Angela Davis. What is clear is that someone - someone powerful enough to get it done - intervened on Smollett's behalf.
Smollett's mother was a member of the Black Panthers, and remains close to Davis to this day.

Don't rule out the big dog in Chicago, either; Barack Hussein Obama may be keeping a low profile these days, but this is the exact kind of street theater that his "community organizer" friends would indulge in, and the BHO may well have made a few discreet phone calls.
Smollett, to refresh everyone's memory, is the gay black Empire actor who claimed to have been almost lynched by two white men who poured bleach on him, put a noose around his neck, punched him in the stomach, and said "this is MAGA country" at three a.m. in downtown Chicago (straining all credulity). It turned out he WAS assaulted on security camera, but by two black Nigerian men that Smollett worked with on Empire and paid to do it. It was a fake hate hoax designed to smear Trump supporters, white people, and help promote a bill introduced by Kamala Harris updating Hate Crimes law. Oh, and it would likely have given Smollett ammunition to renegotiate his contract for more money (as the police theorized).
Smollett needs to do serious jail time for this; it wasted police resources and, had he succeeded, would have led to violence and acrimony throughout America. Staging hate crimes is no joke. If we are to have the Rule of Law, and we have to have that to have a peaceful society and justice for all, then false accusations of this nature must be punished, and severely. Smollett needs to don an orange jumper and take to making license plates.
Is anyone surprised he is not? And Michael Flynn rots in jail for an unclear memory while talking to the FBI. There is no justice.
Here is a New York Times article about the Smollett family. Smollett brags of his mother's friendship with sixties radicals Bobby Seale, Huey Newton, and Julian Bond as well as spending mother's days with Angela Davis, who was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA and gave weapons to terrorists who killed a judge and two other people in a California courtroom. She went on the lam for years, then was arrested. A left-wing jury acquitted her for lack of evidence, but it was pretty clear she was guilty. (Remember this was around the same time that William Ayers was tried and acquited "guilty as hell, free as a bird! What a country!')
This is Smollett's "Aunt Angela".
I seldom agree with Rahm, but this is one time I'm solidly with him.The outgoing mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, was absolutely livid. Considering the racial and sexual overtones of the case – Smollett is black and gay – he showed real courage in denouncing the dropping of charges. From The Wrap:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel strongly condemned the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office decision to drop all charges against Jussie Smollett, calling it a "whitewash of justice.â€
"This is a whitewash of justice,†Emanuel said Tuesday afternoon during a fiery press conference alongside Chicago police superintendent Eddie Johnson. "A grand jury could not have been clearer.†In a stunning reversal, all charges were dropped against Smollett Tuesday morning by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. The "Empire†star was indicted on 16 felony counts of filing a false police report earlier this month.
Johnson also heavily criticized the decision: "Do I think justice was served? No.†he said, adding that he stands behind the work of the detectives. "I’ve heard that they wanted their day in court with TV cameras so America could know the truth. But no, they chose to hide behind secrecy and broker a deal to circumvent the judicial system… I stand behind the detectives’ investigation.â€
