Actor Jussie Smollett leaves the Leighton Courthouse after his court appearance on March 26, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois.
"There is no deal. The state dismissed the charges," attorney Patricia Holmes said as the actor celebrated with family, whose claim that Smollett had been vindicated was flatly rejected by the police. Smollett maintained his innocence in the face of a damning public account from authorities' of their case against him.They accused him of sending himself a threatening letter and hiring two acquaintances to stage the attack, complete with homophobic and racial slurs, while invoking Donald Trump's"Make America Great Again" slogan.
This is what I like to call liberal privilege. The Chicago police chief (black guy) is extremely angry with what he did. He could’ve sparked a race war due to his actions. Unbelievable.
Hollywood gonna Hollywood. What a slap in the face of people who've been victims of actual hate crimes.
Corruption and liberal privilege at play here.
Every case is being dropped this month....
Why? Because he’s a celebrity? Had it been an ordinary black guy from the street, would they?
