It sounds like he thinks he's gonna get whacked. He says "I am not suicidal"



Increased sense of ego + persecution complex.

well, he could now commit suicide and then there would be 100 conspiracy theories :laugh:

Alf 14-03-2022 12:27 PM

Here he is being carted off to jail. He continues to put on a show. A true professional to the end.




Alf 16-03-2022 10:40 PM

He's been released.already.

The first I heard about this was on here, all I did is read the article that some member posted and I was immediately suspicious because it just sounded too far fetched.

I was made out to be the bad guy for that and called all sorts of insulting names. I think I was supposed to believe the media narrative, but as you know from this pandemic, I don't do that.

I have mixed feelings on the Covid debate.

But you're absolutely bang on about Jussie Smollett faking it tbf, and like you I am suspicious if there might've been someone else involved.

I don't get this post?

Is there a provaloge in being gay over being white?

Interested in what this is?

As for this case, so what was he trying to push politically?

It was at the height of “MAGA hat fever” so like I said earlier in the thread, I don’t think it’s that far fetched to wonder if someone stoking the flames plotted it out to be a high profile case but it’s been bodged.

That said, for the very same reason (it being a political hot potato at the time) it’s equally feasible that he planned it himself in some mad attempt at career exposure. It’s certainly made him a household name, just not in the way he intended…

As for the actual time served I’m not really all that surprised - other than wasted police time it’s hard to point to a specific victim in this crime.

Oliver_W 23-06-2022 07:42 AM

While it's funny that his own stupidity landed him in jail, I agree victimless crimes shouldn't really earn jail time. Hit.him where it hurts and give him a massive fine.

bots 23-06-2022 08:07 AM

to me it was a publicity stunt that went wrong. The jail time was effectively for wasting police time

Yea but the question is publicity for whom… was it encouraged by others for a cause, just a daft plan to promote himself, or for a combination of both?

I’m inclined to think elements of both in all honesty. I think his motivation was self-promotion but I think the idea was ultimately someone else’s. It doesn’t seem realistic that he came up with the whole scheme himself and then did such a bodged job of carrying it out.

I suppose if we ignore all the people who didnt come forward to report a hate crime because of the outcome of this case, then I suppose there isnt any victims.

I agree there will have been knock on effects, but as an individual his sentencing can’t really be based wider societal implications, especially when they’re really only hypothetical.

Beso 23-06-2022 09:24 AM

Perhaps if he had admitted to the charges he would have been given the community service order instead of the prison sentence

does not get your post "Gay Privilege"

Alf 23-06-2022 09:45 AM

It's not gay privilege. It's celebrity privilege. It's being friends with the current vice President and former President and first lady.

Those people are better and more free than the rest of us because we allow them to be.

I tend not to have anything to do with narrow minded, only listen to one side, name callers..

But he can ask himself why jussie was given a single cell instead of being housed in the dormitories along side the rest of the cons, or why he was released after nine days if a 150 day sentence whilst still denying the charges...even to this day he still denies them, and cant see why people have an issue with his lies.

What a daft comment, he's in the public eye ..you know full well they don't get the same treatment. We've always talked about celebrities getting lighter sentences/ unfair special treatment because of their status, people like Paris Hilton is a perfect example of that aswell.

You mean COSBY not Crosby, and he was literally released wasn't he ?. He only served 3 years if that .

Tyson was another one that's still in the public eye, despite us all knowing what a grostesque person he is.

Weinstein & Epstein eventually got convicted,but look how long they got away with their actions .

Polanski & the pervert who made the jeepers creepers movies are both free as birds . neither are in prison.

Some face consequences, but other celebrities seem untouchable especially the ones with connections.
