    This is all so amazing. This happened right after Trump was cleared with no indictments or evidence of Russian Collusion. This was done by Leftists to take the Trump Russian Collusion story out of the top of the news a quickly as possible and it worked.

    So Orwellian.

    What in God's name does Obama have to do with Jussie Smollett? You people are really out there. SMH. Bunch of drama queens with nothing better to do than try to stir things up based on ridiculous lies.

    that is a good question though, I know preachers have done false flag claims, have they got off too, has any ever gone to prison over it? I say they should always be punished and not given hand slaps, but lets see what could happen if they were white?

    like this one, what happened to that guy?

    "Attack on Merrillville priest called hate crime never happened, church organization says"

    https://abc7chicago.com/officials-a...est-called-hate-crime-never-happened/4547351/

    "
    MERRILLVILLE, Ind. (WLS) -- A church organization said Tuesday an attack on a priest in northwest Indiana that was investigated as a hate crime was falsely reported.

    In August, Father Basil Hutsko reported an attack on his person while inside his parish, St. Michael's Byzantine in Merrillville, just south of Gary. He had received several bruises and was apparently hospitalized.

    Not sure how to link, but there are countless links that will come up if you google. It is a well known fact that black people are sentenced to 20% longer sentences on the average than white people for the same crime. I'm really surprised to find someone who doesn't know this.

    Thats because black politicians in those same states passed anti drug laws in the Clinton days.

    That made more blacks repeat offenders which carries higher sentences.

    Trump has recently addressed this with prison reform legislation.

    nope, the drug war started with Nixon, then Bush up'd it a notch... time to end the war on drugs

    "A Brief History of the Drug War"

    http://www.drugpolicy.org/issues/brief-history-drug-war

    Nixon
    "In June 1971, President Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” He dramatically increased the size and presence of federal drug control agencies, and pushed through measures such as mandatory sentencing and no-knock warrants."

    Bush
    "The presidency of Ronald Reagan marked the start of a long period of skyrocketing rates of incarceration, largely thanks to his unprecedented expansion of the drug war. The number of people behind bars for nonviolent drug law offenses increased from 50,000 in 1980 to over 400,000 by 1997."

    Clinton
    "Although Bill Clinton advocated for treatment instead of incarceration during his 1992 presidential campaign, after his first few months in the White House he reverted to the drug war strategies of his Republican predecessors by continuing to escalate the drug war. Notoriously, Clinton rejected a U.S. Sentencing Commission recommendation to eliminate the disparity between crack and powder cocaine sentences."

    Bush jr
    "George W. Bush arrived in the White House as the drug war was running out of steam – yet he allocated more money than ever to it. His drug czar, John Walters, zealously focused on marijuana and launched a major campaign to promote student drug testing. While rates of illicit drug use remained constant, overdose fatalities rose rapidly."

    The state prosecution has had highly placed representatives talking about the case and its disposition on the news.

    An admission of guilt and a $10,000 fine is a significant penalty.

    No, it isn't because they are repeat offenders. They receive 20% more time than white offenders FOR THE SAME CRIME. If Trump recently addressed this issue, he hasn't done anything to remedy it.

    Foxx is the elected State's Attorney for Cook County, IL. Each county has a SA office, and that office acts as the prosecutor for charged crimes within that jurisdiction. Each county SA reports to the State Attorney General. They prosecute under state statutes. It's essentially the same as the "District Attorney" that's portrayed on tv.

    If they have prior convictions, they get longer sentences the next time.

    That is why you see the difference.

    No, not on their 3rd offense. It's amusing to watch you guys try to justify this disparity in our justice system as though this issue wasn't common knowledge.

    No, that isn't the reason. They are just sentenced to longer prison time. Research it. It's a fact.

    Exactly.

    It was a good deal for both Jussie and the city.

    Especially since Jussie never admitted guilt.

    Much ado about nothing.

    It has everything to do with wealth and nothing to do with skin color. White defendants will average a higher wealth and can often afford experienced private practice attorneys whereas blacks generally being poorer rely on the overworked and the often less skilled but competent Public Defenders Office. It's just a fact of the legal system.

    Smh. Some people will not accept painful truths. The sentence disparity has nothing to do with prior record. It is because their skin is darker. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative, but it's a fact.
