2016: Punch Nazis!

2019: Punch PewDiePie fans!


This one's pretty tame. A few others were suggesting he be shot.

Kit O'Connell apparently doesn't know, sometimes when you hit someone, they could hit back.. harder.

Phase one of the plea deal, I bet.

Law firms will work out what's best for the machine, it's got an image to keep up.

 

[Leadeye]

Yeah, me either. I think they would be pretty rare in the midwest (not counting Chicago).

None around here, although I'm suspicious of the raccoons, they wear masks all the time.

Yeah! What are they hiding, anyhow??

Remember the guy arrested for allegedly mailing all of those "pipe bombs" last year?

He pleaded guilty.

Considering the wall-to-wall coverage this got at the time, the guilty plea has barely been a blip in the media. I'm pretty surprised by this considering most of the recipients of the packages were Democrats, Democrat supporters and even media members.

Almost like they knew the bombs weren't real ahead of time

Well, they got him, so I guess this is merely a formality.


NPR has it posted on their front page.

All charges against Jussie Smollett dropped.

[ArcadiaGP]

Including the mail fraud? Those are a bigger deal.


Typical black/gay privilege.


Edit: ****ing what. They cite his "good work in the community" as a reason for dropping charges. **** that. **** him.

Yep. Just started a thread on it.

[bobzilla]

I wonder if the fictitious MAGA hat people would have had the charges dropped?

 

[JettaKnight]

Typical black/gay privilege.

Should that have been purple. (yes.) I don't hear many black men saying, "Don't worry, I won't get convicted - I'm black!" Black men don't exactly have a track record of garnering judicial leniency...


More like typical rich celebrity privilege.

Edit: ****ing what. They cite his "good work in the community" as a reason for dropping charges. **** that. **** him.

"Strongly Agree."

Should get interesting

Chicago police union wants federal investigation into Kim Foxx’s handling of Jussie Smollett case

Nailed it!

Well, he paid a fine and got out of jail.

"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett’s volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

The separate federal charges are apparently ongoing, and hopefully bring some justice to this ****ing prick.


Chicago Police plan to issue a statement soon

 

[T.Lex]

Yeah, he almost literally bought his way out of the state charges... for now.

 

[KLB]

$100K seems a little light. Must be some campaign contributions coming as well.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Right on time, "Conservatives pounce"

 

[ArcadiaGP]

"Empire Writers" official twitter account posted a screenshot of the decision with the message, "See you Wednesday!" with some emoticons or some ****.

I'm trying to describe my ire for this situation. The term "seething" isn't really getting there. Is there a better word?
