JUSSIE NEEDS PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY BEHIND THIS MADNESS

Nadia_Nazir

Why is he talking about an active investigation at all?

If true, this disgusting act was not even motivated by so called social justice or resist club, but by selfish narcissistic greed. So he’s now eligible to run as a democratic candidate for president.

I want to give a Thank You 2 the Police Superintendent for addressing this situation in a complete and truthful non partisan press conference. So refreshing to listen to his words, his love of city, respect for Police work and his willingness to pray for Jussie SmolletHoax

Unbelievable! How greedy can you be?

The disgust in that guy’s voice whenever he mentions the shame brought on Chicago is something else. The kid’s gonna get it for messing with his city like.

I had the feeling he made it up

This police chief from Chicago, expressed it all so eloquently.... Gave us a new perspective...the police, gay community, African Americans, and THE CITY OF CHICAGO, all suffered under this lie. Jussie owes everyone involved an apology.

Non una parola nel titolo sul fatto che abbia sfruttato il suo essere gay per rendere più credibili le false accuse. marioadinolfi G_Marcotullio

No it wasn’t, it was motivated to make realDonaldTrump and TrumpSupporters look bad and try to sully the MAGA slogan with a fake Racist and Homophobic attack because the FakeMedia EnemyOfThePeople have been pushing this lie! Just listen to his interview w/RobinRoberts

Let’s ask ourselves these questions: 1. Am I disappointed that this attack was a hoax? 2. I am I glad that a hate crime was not committed? Are your answers yes and no or no and yes? What do our answers say about each of us?

And this dude is supposed to be a role model for the LGBTQ community? Please. He is a disgrace to the community. There goes Empire for me.

Corrupt Chicago Police come in to help divert attention from the real reason this was started. This was a collective attack on the President, with the help of many others from the democratic party, and the media. You all just got caught and now you're throwing him under the bus.

Atleast he will enjoy prison😘

And he said he hit them back😂😂😂

vonie_ANS 🤔

Really? Quite unbelievable

Genius.

This hoax was not a salary dispute. This was political. Looking at his past tweets and the fact that he included MAGA in his story prices that. Of course the media will now ignore those derails. JussieSmollettHoax

How does getting hit by a hate crime increases one’s salary at their day job

he paid the two brothers with a check Can't make this kind of stupid up lol

wait until he finds out what his salary will be now...

I'll trade you 1,000 Smollett for 1 Hasson.

LegendOfJussie There was a young man named Jussie, whose story was just a bit fuzzy. He concocted a hoax, and he fooled lots of folks, and soon a judge will meet Jussie. JussieSmollett JussieSmollettHoax

He makes - or was making - $20,000 per episode. Keep in mind that's more per episode that most of walmart's 1.4 million American employees are taking home per year.

Main media usually don't report about happened hate crimes at LGBT except death case but they only report suspecting of staged photo case very much.

What a bitch reason

He’s taken a pay cut instead now.

Empire writers right now

He’ll be earning even less now ..

It was great idea if it worked hahaha

If true, the salary motivation adds a deeper layer to this sordid, sorry performance. My reaction every time Smollett's story comes up is I'm glad that's not me. Tho my life does not resemble his, I'm still subject to the same weaknesses.

Sympathy to the Chicago PD and citizens for the time and lives wasted paying attention to this useless jerk

I don't believe that for a second. He staged the attack because of his disdain for realDonaldTrump and the people who put him in office.

So, it turns out the real racist is him

Very well said Superintendent Johnson! We should condemn race-baiting, criminal behavior whenever it occurs, regardless of the color of the perpetrator. He gave up his honor and moral standing for a salary increase and will end up in jail for it! What a waste!

Splitting hairs I know but should the officer have just given an update or should he have tried and convicted the 'alleged' perpetrator on the podium today? Just thinking of due process and how it's been trampled on.

Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild

So he decided to wreck his career instead. A genius.

Terror terrorizing truth Crome Reid’s Tom lee music snow royals crime Leeds Leeds

I hope he is prosecuted to the max (whatever is on the books) for what he has done.

Lots of people are dissatisfied with their salaries, but they don't send white powder to themselves with racist notes, or pay thousands of dollars to hire two men to stage an attack on themselves, and they don't also attack political parties while they're at it.

STAGED HATE CRIMES MATTER. The leftists have successfully invented METOO and destroyed it in less than a year.

Send him to the call center and the brothers to Nigeria

Chicago PD has shot too many black men in the back. Skepticism is a fair approach

She suffers from Chronic Toxic Hollywood Syndrome. CTHS. A virtualization of being always on or in a televised state with duel subconscious award show trophy winning producing side effects. Also unremitting ringing in her ears and Proptosis or exophthalmos.

Keep in mind, the fact that JussieSmollett was wrong does not make hate, racism, homophobia , or trump right.

Yeah. Ok.

Chicago should be proud to have this man as their police chief.

He's toast.
