Granderson: Jussie Smollett is already disgraced. Does he really need to be imprisoned?

Chris Rock asked the audience

during the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, at which Smollett was a nominee. “From now on I ain’t never gonna [say] no ‘Jussie.’ You’re a Jessie from now on. You don’t get the ‘u’ no more. That ‘u’ was respect. You don’t get no respect from me.”for making a false report to Chicago police, claiming he was the victim of a hate crime. Smollett had said he was attacked with a noose in Chicago late one night by Trump supporters yelling homophobic and racist slurs.

Now there are differences between the two cases, but the overall point is this: Jail isn’t the only option our justice system uses to punish those who abuse the public’s trust. And I understand the anger against Smollett, because I held it too. When the story initially broke that he had been attacked, progressive politicians and celebrities alike rushed to social media to show support. When Smollett was arrested on suspicion of making it all up, it wasn’t just that goodwill that was gone. A bit of.

Disappointed by the latest developments, I went on CNN to talk about the case wearing a T-shirt that read

opinion Yes. He don't get a pass. He was making money and getting fame but he felt he needed to do what he did. For every action there are consequences. Time to pay the piper!!

opinion What? He's going to enjoy his 90 days with The Boys

opinion Yes. Yes he does.

opinion YES.

opinion So if murderers feel bad about what they did will they not be sent to jail Asking for a friend. Or Bank robbers?

opinion ❤

opinion yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

opinion Yes here should be imprisoned , in a women's prison

opinion Shit post article coming from a shit place where crime is rampant... Makes sense...

opinion More radical left wing propaganda. He committed a crime. A very serious crime and deserves the punishment like everyone else.

opinion Yes, it will hopefully be a deterrent to all those that spread fake hate crimes, true the 'journalists' and organisations who jump on them should have some of the punishment, but I guess that's never going to happen.

opinion Utterly predictable article! Hollywood never tires of covering up for media criminals.

opinion Yes.

opinion Yea!

opinion YES!!!!!

opinion Yes.

opinion HellYES!

opinion Children are being gunned down in Boyle Heights while you’re busy writing pieces about Jussie Smollets hoax.

opinion If Smollett were a White heterosexual male, all the SJW's would be demanding life in prison with no chance of parole. Letting Jussie Smollett off is an example of Black, LGBT and class privilege. Note: Smollett is also connected to the Obamas and VP Kamala Harris.

opinion Yes

opinion Yes… start holding criminals accountable!

opinion Yuuuup

opinion What. What? Why does he get a pass?

opinion 15-20 years

opinion Yes he needs to go and wash big bubba's socks and underwear and polish his helmet too

opinion So the theory here is if you commit a crime and you feel disgraced you should get away with no punishment. Interesting. So I rob a bank tomorrow and I'm caught will LAPDHQ not press any charges as I'm already disgraced by public exposure to my bank robbery. What a clown world.

opinion Thanks , articles like this remind why I canceled my subscription years ago.

opinion Community service will be enough, as he has learned lessons.

opinion Isn't that a little like asking a jury to take pity on a child who killed his parents because he is an orphan?

opinion I’m sure douche gascon would agree, if he had a say in the matter. Even if he’s sent to a country club prison, he needs to serve some time. Faked a hate crime and do no time, that would be a miscarriage of justice and send the wrong message

opinion Yes!

opinion With all the racial tension in this country this POS used that to create attention for himself and to further his own career. JussieSmollett should absolutely go to jail.

opinion Yes he does! Breaking a law is breaking a law.

opinion Ask this again the next time someone is the ACTUAL victim of an ACTUAL hate crime.
