Jussie Smollett Ordered Released From Jail After Serving Less Than A Week

Jussie Smollett Ordered Released From Jail After Serving Less Than A Week Of 5 Month Sentence Pending Appeal

Convicted felon Jussie Smollett was ordered to be released from jail on Wednesday pending appeal of his 150-day sentence that went into effect last week for staging a hate crime hoax against himself and lying to law enforcement about it.

“The one-page order issued by the Illinois Appellate Court on Wednesday afternoon stated that Smollett was to be released from the Cook County Jail after signing a $150,000 recognizance bond, which would not require him to post any money,” the Chicago Tribune reported. “The only explanation offered in the order was that Smollett has never been convicted of a violent offense and would have completed his sentence of incarceration well before his appeal is decided.”

So, is this Black Privilege?
Just stickin it to whitey?
Two tier justice?
Hoe do we file this one?

You are truly an oaf.

For once I agree with you, Carla, though not about the oaf part.

Smollett has money privilege; I'm sure he has the best lawyers money can buy, not some underpaid and disinterested public defender.

You are truly an oaf.

I'm delighted that you were paying attention!
Of course it's offensive.
Guess what - so is White Privilege.

Interesting too that you comment on MY offense,
but have nothing to say about Jussie.

@Thinkerbell money doesnt buy innocence, but is surely buys, not guilty. All too often.

I would have left out the oaf part if not for his last paragraph, in italics.

@Budwick yes bud. I am often offended by white privilege.
Im glad you've finally recognized it's a thing.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Carla Vampires and Easter Bunnies are also a thing.

That's where the sarcastic references were made.

I could say - 'I wouldn't have responded to your comment, if you hadn't commented.'

Face it Carla, you think it's racist that I dare say 'black privilege', don't you?

@Budwick

"...but have nothing to say about Jussie."

That's where the Black privilege comes in, in some quarters. 🤫 🤫 🤫

@Budwick ive said, in many places, many times that he is an idiot, doing dickheaded things. Managing to make any hate crime something to question, even when it is blatant.
He should be in jail. Bottom line.

@Carla And now, you've said it here. Thank you.

@Thinkerbell
Yes, black privilege. Bill cosby is home now in a silk robe with a cuban cigar.
Kobe got off.
Don't forget linebacker Ray Lewis.
Or orenthal j. Simpson.
Or hall of famer Jim Brown who battered a number of ho's and wives in his day.
