Discussion: $100K Bail Set For Smollett In Alleged Staging Of Attack Against Himself

Jussie Smollett staged a racist, anti-gay attack on himself because he was unhappy about his salary and wanted to promote his career

Well, he gained some name recognition. Other than that ….

ETA I wonder if his “Empire” character will suddenly die of an opioid overdose?

He was concerned about his salary?

Wait til he gets the bill from Chicago PD for all the time wasted, and from his attorney’s, PR firms, etc., etc., etc.

Why is Johnson speculating that Smollett caused the bruising and scratches on his face himself? The whole thing was weird from the get go, but should a LEO be putting this stuff out there if it is not a known fact?

The actor “took advantage of the pain and anger of racism to promote his career,”

Hmmmmm… is this a new threat in the Republican 2020 Presidential primary field?

Hay maybe they will have him get jailed in the show and can film from his real prison cell?

100K Bail seems excessive.

Why would you grant bail to scum like this? Better to just look for a short rope ans a tall tree.
