Smollett to be Charged for "Fleshy Part of the Thigh" Dirty Trick
Timothy Birdnow
Police are filing charges against Jussie Smollett.
The gay Empire actor is being charged with filing a felony disorderly conduct in filing a false police report. Smollett falsely claimed he was assaulted by two white men spewing racial and homosexual slurs and saying "this is MAGA country" in downtown Chicago at three a.m. Smollett claimed these men beat him up (quite mildly), poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck.
Two Nigerian men were caught on surveillance camera and subsequently arrested. The two men were friends of Smollett's from the Empire cast and were released after police questioning.
Police found bleach and a rope in Smollett's apartment. He is expected to be made to reimburse the police for the cost of the investigation in addition to a possible three years in prison.
Smollett's actions are despicable in so many ways. He has willfully borne false witness. He has tried to inflame passions, perhaps to the point of violence, and innocent people could have been hurt. He has tried to frame the President and his supporters. He stole police services in a town where that resource is precious. He deserves to serve time in prison - and should be fired from Empire.
Sadly, in the gangsta rap world that Empire seeks to portray, this is a resume' enhancer.
I am reminded of an episode in the old HBO Mafia series "The Sopranos". There was an episode called "The Fleshy Part of the Thigh" in which one of the gangsters (Bobby) is hired by a rapper to shoot him so as to give him "street cred". He asks to be shot "in the fleshy part of the thigh" so as not to actually hurt him. Smollett was doing something similar here, only far worse because it was not just about street cred or publicity but political assault and, as was pointed out yesterday there appears to be more than just Smollett involved; this looks like a good old fashioned Obama style "community Organizer" dirty trick.
Not only does Smollett need to go to jail but an investigation needs to be opened by the Justice Department over this. I suspect all manner of connected Democrats are involved.
