In reply to the discussion: Former 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett indicted by special prosecutor in Chicago [View all]X_Digger
(18,585 posts)Do you really want me to list every murder, every assault, every pedestrian killed or injured by a drunk driver while this farce of an investigation was going on?
Is your intentional obtuseness that obscene?
Let's see. It started on January 22 when Smollett reported a threatening letter laced with a powder, later determined to be tylenol. Fast forward to March 8, when a grand jury indicted Smollett.
Let's just take that period, shall we? (And that's me being generous.)

Fred Brown, 61 years old
Ambriana Collins, 24 years old

How many of these folks' family consider Smollett's fucking stunt a victimless crime?
How many of these folks might be alive, or their killers found, if they weren't chasing a high profile imaginary assault assailant?
It's harder to find drunk driving victims in the same timeframe, but since the search results turn up MANY results, I'm assuming the number is not zero.
Go ahead, tell me again, that there were NO VICTIMS due to Smollett's asinine criminal adventure.
Go ahead. I double dog dare ya.
