If he's guilty, I want him to be punished to the full extent of the law. If he's innocent, I want him to walk away free, get his job back (if that's what he wants), and for him to strongly consider legal action against the people who falsely accused him... but that would be up to him. BUT, he deserves a fair trial in any event... just like any other American citizen in this country.
Most people, the larger audience and revenue potential, are going to be more interested in what happens to a wealthy actor. Nazi nutcase, not so much, not many interested.
This is a political forum - because of that most people here should concern themselves with political figures rather than some obscure actor. But when you think about it, since this is a ultra right wing forum it stands to reason why its posters ignore the facts when one of their own commits a crime that is virtually the same as that from the other side of the aisle. I again say, impose the same sentence on both. Now let's see the forum right wingers all say the same.
I'd tend to agree. But he has not been investigated or charged. It's probably because of the nature of the two frauds. Smolletts involved being beaten by two white guys in MAGA hats. Police are geared to address this. Wohls involves an anonymous online threat with zero physical leads. I'd guess that the Police are not geared or equipped to address such a thing.So they probably put the report in the "Hmmm" file.
That might be true of the police but not the courts or public opinion. Since it is virtually the same crime, I say LOCK HIM UP. All forum right wingers who always claim to be so morally principled should set aside their double standards and demand no less.
The Police have to verify a crime and then charge him. So far, the "fraud" is only an allegation by an online Journalist. Not an official charge as the result of an investigation by law enforcement. Give it time and see where it goes.
As you know, I hold the righties to the same standard they hold everyone else to. Since the right wingers screamed LOCK HER UP about Hillary even though the police and the feds never made any official charge, it's time to do the same to their political heroes.
That's what I went for 3 for the hoax and 3 for the letter which hasn't gone away. If they gave him 4 he's still be out in 18 months
I let him off a little lightly because he is a good example against #BelieveAll[insert minority here]
He should be looking at whatever somebody who actually committed a hate crime would be looking at. He could have caused an innocent person to be arrested and convicted of a hate crime. That's how long he should be in jail. What he did(assuming he is convicted) was a hate crime.
Just another example of a rich liberal (Willie) getting out of consequences for his action. Willie should have gone to jail, but instead the IRS figured it would be better to send him back out on the road to repay it.
He tried to whip up race hatred and that can get people killed. He should get the max sentence and made to serve every single day of it.
Turns out the fat lady hasn't sung yet, now if only Jussie doesn't suicide himself first like so many people related to the DNC do at times like this.
