Vengeance for who for what? If you want pay back for spending money and time on it you’d be an idiot to waste even more money and time for some nonsense sense of vengeance.
Justice for what? No one was actually wronged at most you can say it was a waste of tax payers money but then even more money is being wasted so it’s a mute point.
And no one is going to be warned off from doing something similar that’s just not how criminals think and never has been at most people will try harder not to be caught.
Even if they were to just fine him it’s pretty clear the guys a dick and would fight and waste more money instead of paying it. This whole thing has just become one guy wasting time/money and then the government wasting more to get nothing done.
Did you forget the part where Smollett tried to frame innocent people and was prepared to lie and falsely identify them? I mean that literally, there were articles about how the police asked him to come in and offer a positive ID on the two suspects they arrested and he went in fully intent on pointing the finger at two innocent people... Only to have the police bamboozle him because the two suspects they had in custody were in fact the two brothers he paid to falsify the crime against himself.
Because it could be more than Smollet.
He had meetings with Cory Booker and Kamala Harris (Who he seems to have known a while) December 21-January 18, 2019 about how he could help publicise and boost public support for the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act.
Given the timing of the Death threat sent to himself (January 22) straight after these talks, and then the "attack" on him (January 29) which all created a big swell of public anger and support for the bill to pass on the 14th Feb, it's highly likely it was at least part of the motivation for him to stage this.
Booker and Harris both described identically as "an attempted modern-day lynching" and lauded it throughout as evidence of why the bill should become law.
Did they all plan it together to increase support? Well, it was incredibly convenient for them, and we'd know they'd discussed with him to help promote the bill, but I don't know if they knew Smollet was going to do something quite so ridiculous.
BASIC CAMPFIRE for WARCHIEF UK Prime Minister!
No bullshit.
It was an over reaction to begin with based on the claims made by Jussie, that has NOTHING to do with Jussie, who I believed and still believe like ALL victims should be given the benefit of the doubt meaning taken seriously and "Investigated."
They did, the cops did what they were paid to do working as intended.
There is not vengeance required. If someone has a claim you take it seriously, you don't OVER react as a way of compensating.
We know something happened, we know Jussie Lied, we don't know why he lied, and we don't know if those he allegedly paid, if they are lying also. I mean if they already fucking agreed to take part in this bullshit, then they should be taken seriously.
But another fucking overreaction isn't the answer. That is why I think this was dropped, because the cops fucked up all around.

Nothing to man up about, Jussie Lied, what human being doesn't?
The evidence that Jussie made ALL of it up is based on the word of known liars of those involved if they are to believed, and corrupt criminal justice system that dropped the case.

Presidents reporting false crimes is the same as a citizen reporting false crimes? You have low standards for the ruler of a country...

I don’t believe celebrities should be treated differently than normal people for committing similar crimes. Being a celebrity shouldn’t garner a harsher penalty. How is that fair???
What does “apologising” mean to you? Saying what he did is wrong and illegal and what happened with his case is what typically happens with this crime is apologising???? How dare I state facts?
He isn't getting treated any differently in the eyes of the law other than the prosecutor was giving him special treatment. We're talking about why we're treating it differently socially because what he did has a high social impact.
Would you be defending him if it was a trump supporter faking a hate crime? I am guessing no.
I believe you were trying to reply to me.
As far as fake bomb threats go those tend to create victims rather that be schools forced to go into lock down airports canceling/delaying flights ect.
This also isn’t a case of investigation that’s already been done it’s a case of wasting money on prosecution.
