    Given that whites have persecuted minorities overwhelmingly in American history, I will give your comment the due it deserves, Fred.

    Violence is not the answer. 1. It should always be a last resort. 2.It would make Smollet a martyr. It would retroactively make his hoax a "truth". He doesn't deserve that.

    Well, with the latest news, it seems, that the law could not nail the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Same as Collusion. So, Smollet skates, JUST LIKE TRUMP.

    But the tell is, you aren't angry about Trump skating on a technicality, but you are the black guy, who lied to get his own way.

    Was the question regarding anyone being 'persecuted'?

    I don't think so. It was about hoaxes, correct?

    What doubt was there in Smollet's case? And what 'technicality' in Trump's case?

    Too many say the persecution of minorities by whites are hoaxes, which they are certainly not. I am glad you agree with me.

    What all this bad talk from the right about how tough they are is just silliness and not rooted in reality.

    Charlottesville and Berkeley are simple reminders that just like the sixties the rest of America will not tolerate violence from the right.

    These places remind you of what, specifically? Will people tolerate violence from the left?

    No, I wasn't but your fascination suggests it must be on the ceiling above your bed. Is it?

    Americans generally will not tolerate political violence.

    We did that once before, it never worked out

    Yeah, you lost the argument. Your distraction is feeble.

    Oh what a surprise, his fellow criminal coconspirators are refusing to talk against each other.

    This is the sort of thing that happens in literally every case ever and which a goos prosecutor works around.

    The case is slam dunk, the issue is the blatant corruption of the prosecutor.

    Where this needs to go from here: Federal charges. Demand the maximum penalty.

    Substitute "prosecutor" for "Grand Jury" in your remarks, and you'll be accurate here:



    metropolitan Chicago's powerful, colossal, LGBTQ community was about to haunt that Prosecutor's livelihood with a historical curse.

    No surprise that forum right wingers raise so little objection to this type of hate and violence.

    Nothing against Chicago but it seems it has a slew of problems unlike other very large American cities. The handling of the Smollett case appears to be inept by the city prosecutors.

    The right wing seem to look this type of violence. I don't know why, because everytime they rise up the left smacks the **** out of them. That has been happening the last 50 years.

    Not at all. That was a silly distraction from you that has people chuckling still. The fact remains that if the right rises up in political violence, the left always smashes it. That will always be what happens.
